Say “Mandy” to anyone born before, say, 1970 and they’re gonna think Barry Manilow’s hideous hit song of 1975 or thereabouts.

Who can forget these immortal lyrics?

Oh, Mandy
Well, you came
And you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me
And stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh, Mandy

Actually I had forgotten them. Damn the internet anyway.

Anyhoo, I was looking for revenge flicks, and while it’s always a pleasure to watch Charles Bronson blow away scum in “Death Wish,” I was looking for something a little more contemporary.

And boy did I find it.

“Mandy” the movie (2018) is the brainchild of one Panos Cosmatos, which sounds like a place where you can buy $20 dinner rolls.

It stars Nicolas Cage because it’s a rule that anything involving lots of screaming has to have Big Nick in the mix.

See, Red is a logger and he’s stopped drinking and he lives way out in the boonies in a little house with Mandy, who works at the convenience store and creates the kind of art once confined to custom vans and the covers of Conan the Barbarian paperbacks.

But darn it all, there’s a cult of weirdos whose leader (Linus Roache) seems to think he’s a cross between Jesus and Charlie Manson, with a little Jon Anderson (of Yes) and Kris Kristofferson thrown in for leavening.

And they are in cahoots with some mutant bikers and everybody’s drinking down this sludgy LSD specially created for them by the Chemist because a) he doesn’t like them and b) he’s got a tiger.

I cant really say hilarity ensues, but a whole lot of stuff sure does, including but not limited to:

Kung fu with chainsaws, medieval weapons, and bare fists. Eyeball-popping. Barbed wire. Hallucinations galore. King Crimson music. Custom vans. About 40 gallons of blood. Dorm room theology. And Cage in his Jockeys, which makes this a horror movie.

And a solemn warning: Never laugh at the LSD-crazed dude in the goofy robe when he’s playing you his latest demo.

“Mandy” gets an unapologetic four coils and a nomination for the Freestanding Coil Award for Lifetime Achievement.
