Mandy (2018)
Directed by Panos Cosmatos
Quick Hit
Mandy feels like a nasty horror play—metal, dreamy, with atmosphere doing half the killing.
Full Take
Mandy leans hard into psychedelic horror energy, and Panos Cosmatos keeps the tone metal without letting the movie drift. The craft is sharp, the mood is nasty, and the pressure keeps building until the whole thing snaps. The rough edges are part of the charm.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

I’m in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didn’t fully connect.
