Mandy (2018)
In 1983, somewhere near the Shadow Mountains, Red Miller leads a quiet and reclusive life with his girlfriend, artist and author Mandy Bloom. He works as a logger, while she has a day job as a gas station cashier. In their cabin by a lake, Mandy creates elaborate fantasy art, which Red admires greatly. Their conversations hint at a complicated past and psychological hardship. Red appears to be a recovering alcoholic and possibly a veteran, while Mandy recounts traumatic childhood experiences. On her way to work, Mandy walks past a van carrying the Children of the New Dawn, a deviant hippie cult led by the egomaniacal and vile Jeremiah Sand. Sand is struck by Mandy’s beauty and orders one of his disciples, Brother Swan, to kidnap Mandy with the help of the Black Skulls, a demonic biker gang with a taste for human flesh and a highly potent liquid form of LSD.
At night, Swan drives out to the lake and summons the Black Skulls by blowing a mystical ocarina carved from lava stone which Sand calls the Tooth of Abraxas. After Swan offers them a low-ranking member of the cult as a sacrifice, they break into the couple’s home and subdue Mandy and Red. The two female members of the cult, Mother Marlene and Sister Lucy, drug Mandy with LSD and venom from a giant black wasp before presenting her to Sand. Sand, a failed musician, attempts to seduce Mandy with his psychedelic folk music, telling her that God had told him to take anything he wanted. Mandy laughs at Sand, infuriating him. Seeking revenge, he stabs Red, who is tied and gagged with barbed wire, then burns Mandy alive in front of him.
