I've been trying to start THE AGE OF CAGE for some time now and with both this from 2018 and The Color out of Space this year, I feel we are really there. Cage is the Omega to Keanu's Alpha, and this utterly magnificent gonzo-horror is the real deal. Director Panos Cosmatos weaves some of the most heavily stylised visual palettes ever (Benjamin Loeb) and music (nearly the last from J\xf3hann J\xf3hannsson) into an unforgettable fever-dream nightmare revenge fantasy. A truly committed Nicholas Cages is at the centre of the LSD maelstrom.
