OPEN SPOILERS AFTER THE FILM OPENS ON 12 FEBRUARY 2021!

I just stumbled across this trailer:

Of course, this movie could suck. It could be really, really bad. It could be so bad it’s good. Or… it could just be an awesome movie. So I have high hopes for this one.

I know it’s just a trailer, but the content (creepy abandoned amusement park/funhouse; anti-hero-with-no-name, a sense of vengeance rather than desperation, etc.) checks off a lot of cool boxes IMO. And Mr. Cage has been on something of a roll lately… even the poorly-named Jujitsu looks like a fun Predator-meets-Highlander movie.

I’m not sure where it’s going to air; I suppose many questions will be answered in a few weeks when it premiers.

2

Believe it or not, I just came here to start a thread about that movie. I so want to see this hot mess!

3

Of course you did; you have excellent taste!

I’m looking for more info, including where it is going to air. Apparently it’s going right to home streaming/viewing.

Here’s the IMDB page:

And the Wikipedia page:

Here’s the premise:

4

This is basically The Man With No Name vs. Chucky Cheese.

5

The video game came out in 2014; it has a certain horrific atmosphere when you are playing it. Did that successfully translate to the film?

6

I dunno, I’ve played the “Nick Cage is in it, he can’t do another bad movie, can he?” a lot, 20 odd movies. I know he’s done pretty good recently with Mom and Dad, Color out of Space, Spiderman into the spiderverse and Mandy, but there’s about TEN other movies during that time too.

I’ll hang back for the reviews, but he’s firmly in the “wait for three positive reviews before considering it” category of actors, ie: you rent it DESPITE he’s in it.

Actors who will make me watch a film: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Clive Owen, Nick Offerman, Timothy Olyphant, Mary Steenburgen, Sam Elliott, I even watched a bunch of shit because Jason Stathan was in it, until he did the shitty car movies.

Actors who will make sure I don’t watch it. Van Damme, Seagal.

Actors on the Danger list: Bruce Willis, Nicolas Cage.

7

And I’m fine with that.

8

Looks to me like someone wanted to make a Five Nights At Freddy’s movie but couldn’t afford the rights.

9

I love Nicolas Cage you can count me in for this one!

10

That’s what I thought about Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

I’ll wait for further reviews.

Now, if they had set this movie at Willy Wonka’s factory, and were faithful to the Gene Wilder movie, I’d be there on opening day! :slight_smile:

I just saw the trailer for this one this weekend at the Virtual Arisia convention. Hadn’t heard a word about it, but it looks bizarrely wonderful. I figured it fit well in this thread:

Psycho Goreman

12

No, that was the Banana Splits Movie.

13

I have just three things to say:

Oscar, Oscar, Oscar.

14

By which you mean, it smells and belongs in a garbage can?

15

You induced me to watch it. LOL

16

I was thinking From Dusk till Dawn meets Westworld (the movie not the TV series).

17

To quote Nicolas Cage from this movie:

“…”

18

First thing I thought of. I made my kid watch the trailer to see if she’s think the same thing. It was the first thing she said.
