Weird and not very good. Some nice visuals but they can't compensate for the rest of the film. Nicolas Cage in MANDY this is not.
I can not explain how hyped I was for this movie. Lovecraft is one of my favorite authors ever. I've read everything he ever wrote. And I also like Nick Cage for some reason.

That said, this movie was the hugest of letdowns for me. Did not do the story justice at all and Cage's performance was flat out awful, one of the worst of his career. I wouldn't have been nearly as generous with the score as you were. Prob 2/10 for me.

Also it was kind of baffling that out of all the Lovecraft stories they chose this one. It's a fine story, but so many of others deserve the film treatment more than this did. Give me The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadanth. At The Mountains of Madness (QUIT CANCELLING DEL TORO'S PASSION PIECE YOU HOLLYWOOD ASSHOLES). A new version of The Dunwich Horror even.
