7 WORDS ONRINGER’S 7TH ANNIVERSARY arah Michelle Gellar’s masterpiece: Sarah Michelle Gellar.
MANDY
Nicolas Cage goes
full gonzo (trust us,
this is a welcome
thing) as a logger bat-
tling a creepy group
of demon-assisted cult
loonies who’ve kid-
napped his girlfriend
(Andrea Riseborough)
in Panos Cosmatos’
bloody heavy metal
fever-dream revenge
flick. “Not for everyone”
barely begins to
describe this psyche-
delically gory
Cage-a-go-go. At its
Sundance premiere,
half the audience
walked out...and the
other half were in cult-
movie nirvana.(Sept. 14)
Fan of witchesandthe Antichrist? The
latest cycle of Ryan Murphy’s anthology
mixes two of the best seasons—Murder
HouseandCoven—featuring new char-
acters (like Kathy Bates’, below) and
more stars than happy hour at the Cha-
teau Marmont, including Joan Collins!
(FX, Sept. 12, 10 p.m.)
