As Dan Fox observes, Mandy contains elements of hicksploitation, bikesploitation, psychsploitation, rocksploitation, and the cannibal film, yet even those evocations fail to adequately define the film. No film of this millennium seems more immediately positioned for the status of cult masterpiece than Mandy but questions arise about what exactly Cosmatos’ hallucinatory revenge flick is. We know about the chainsaw fights, the tiger, the Black Skulls, and the Cheddar Goblin. We know about Mandy’s murder and Red’s rage-fueled, drug-fueled, madness-fueled vengeance. We know about the havoc wreaked on them by deluded messiah Jeremiah Sand (Linus Roache) and his Children of the New Dawn cult. We know about Red Miller and Mandy Bloom’s idyllic existence in the Pacific Northwest’s Shadow Mountains.
