Somewhere in the primal wilderness near the Shadow Mountains in the year 1983, Red Miller has fallen deeply for the beguiling Mandy Bloom. But the life he has made for himself comes suddenly and horrifyingly crashing down when a vile band of Satan worshippers and supernatural creatures penetrate his idyllic paradise with vicious fury. A broken man, Red now lives for one thing only - vengeance.

“A gloriously lurid mock-80s revenge quest that aims a raging, roaring Nicolas Cage at villains from another dimension” - Katherine McLaughlin, Sight & Sound
