Parents take note! This is not your typical Nicolas Cage film. Although it starts off slowly with some character development, it is quickly thrust into a deep, dark, hallucinogenic, and very disturbing vehicle into raging madness and revenge. This film is not for the faint of heart!
Some of the characters are a bit difficult to understand, so it helps to turn subtitles on.
There is heavy use of color throughout which is reminiscent of many horror and slasher films from the 1970s and 1980s. Strobing and hallucinogenic effects are present periodically.
Despite the seriousness of the latter half of the film, small elements of campy humor are present where they are least expected.
This film is definitely over the top, but is one of those films which must be watched to the end to see what happens next.
