    i saw the best cage movie Ever yesterday.

    the cliche horror slashedy willy’s wonderland.

    i cant emphasize how great this movie is at its attempt at… what it is… but nick cage doesnt utter a single word the whole fucking movie. its brilliant.

        I was familiar with him in the 90s because of Con Air and Face/Off but my film appreciation class really made me fall for him with Raising Arizona. Like Johnny Depp in Ed Wood, it’s “off-brand” for Cage, but he does a brilliant job.

      I had that film recommended highly to me, but I found it to be a pretty poorly executed copy of Five Night’s at Freddie’s that even Cage couldn’t save it for me.

        Well, it came out 2 years earlier than the FNAF movie and had a quarter of the budget, so it’s not really fair to call it a copy.

          I meant that it copied the premise of FNAF the game that came out in 2014, not the movie from 2023 that the creator of the game insisted on making even after Willy’s Wonderland came out borrowing his entire story including the silent protagonist. Shame that neither movie was very good.

        Mandy was fuckin brilliant! He was also in a decent adaptation of Lovecraft’s Color Out of Space. Pig was also phenomenal, but not a horror story like the others.
