There’s a scene in Panos Cosmatos’ new mind-fuck revenge
horror film, Mandy, where a character dips his gloveless
hands into a cistern of pure liquid LSD in the most casual manner imaginable.
The more I think about it, the more that single moment perfectly represents
this bug-nuts crazy, drug-addled, apocalyptic-doomsday-cult-fueled,
chainsaw-fighting, demon-biker-having madness and mania. Sure, dip your bare
hands into this powerful hallucinogen and see what the hell happens. And it’s
glorious.
