simultaneously horrible and ludicrous; "Mandy" exists in its own supremely unnerving horror dimension; [and] this is an all-time-great Nicolas Cage wig-out
on its own weird terms, it's extraordinarily successful; Panos Cosmatos' ability to put us in Red's head, make this much more than the usual exercise in vicarious bloodshed..this becomes cosmic horror, a spectacle meant to inspire awe
"Mandy" is not for everyone, but for a willing and engaged audience this is a rare artifact, a warped “hearts of darkness” journey into loss and out the other side
