I just watched this whole 43 minutes long video and it honestly felt like 10 minutes max. I was so invested i totally lost track of time. Such an interesting and well made review!

[@deusdeaconReviews]

big compliment indeed glad you enjoyed it

[@Namorat]

I totally agree. It has all his classic background info presented in an enjoyable and easily digestable way that the time flew by easily.

​​@@sammywilliam8156I too am hoping he wasn't hit by a bus. He's supposed to be in school, but it's been over a year since he's been heard from as far as I know. Maybe he just moved on from KZbin. Wouldn't be the first.

[@xxjessica_redux9674]

Yay Deusdaecon is back

[@sanyonazyin6063]

All hail the Deacon

[@IHaveAnAwfulUserName]

Abraxas is also a Marvel villain closely linked to Galactus, so it's no surprise that Cage threw a Galactus reference in there.

[@jeffreymcconnell876]

I was just about to comment on this! We are comic homies now 🤗.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Not sure why I said 22 shirt instead of 44, weird mistake to make, I blame sleep deprivation Edit : I know a tarantula hawk wasp is a thing, they do not have an hallucinogenic sting though hence the “fantastical creature remark” Edit: Gnosticism is a very, very varied collections of beliefs. The views expressed in the anaylisis in the first bit are classical Sethian-adjacent views, mostly.

Dogma review 😈😂😎

[@mannypardo1080]

This movie had me at "Nicholas Cage forging an axe."

[@applewagon253]

Missed your work. You cynicism gives me life!

[@l2jnichol1986]

And it's shaped like the l in the logo of Swiss extreme metal legends Celtic Frost.

"The Secret of Steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn this riddle, learn its discipline. For no one, no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts... 🗡 *This* you can trust."

[@chesterbonaparte6787]

Love every review you've done, have watched all multiple times, you're damn good at what you do. This'll be a great watch as I work tonight!

[@Luciffrit]

"I'm your god now" Is also a Machinehead song from their first album about drug addiction and self debasement. Since they reference Celtic Frost, it might be a heavy metal thing.

[@jazcc]

I’m sure I’ve said more than once in your channel, but your reviews are unlike any other. Your explanation , details and research on a film shows how dedicated you are in reviewing a film. I learn something new, from the film without needing to watch the film. I have seen every review and keep rewatching them because they’re so good and your voice is so calming that I sometimes put on your channel to help me sleep. Please keep up the amazing work.

[@Zeithri]

That " _Happy face_ " terrified me. I expected a jump scare so I closed my eyes really hard. As for Joseph Cambell... *EVERY MOVIE AND GAME AND STORY FITS THAT HERO'S JOURNEY!* That's the whole point of it! Hell it even fits your life in the real world.

[@chadatchison145]

I've seen several reviews for this movie and must say that this is the most comprehensive one of them all. You have once again proven why you're my favorite, you consistently find the most easter eggs and provide the most pertinent meanings to rather obscure references thus giving me greater appreciation for what the director was aiming for. I wish you'd upload more but I'd rather have quality over quantity any day. Thank you.

[@darthizzle]

I fucking loved this movie. And the scariest moment in the whole film is the cut to cages blood covered smile at the end

[@MobiWanYT]

This movie was such a surreal and odd experience. Glad to see your review on it bud. Color Out of Space next maybe?

[@tylerskiss]

I came down wondering how many posts before someone mentions COoS, and you did not disappoint- 3rd one down.

[@MobiWanYT]

@@tylerskiss You're welcome 😁 I've been trying to work on a review myself but I'd love to hear his take on it

[@tylerskiss]

@@MobiWanYT Do it! I'm sure many of us would watch both. Color Out of Space definitely deserves all the attention it can get.

[@MobiWanYT]

@@tylerskiss I shall see to it this week. Just finishing my 13th Warrior review. What did you think of Dark, Almost Night?

[@tylerskiss]

@@MobiWanYT I never even heard of Dark, Almost Night. I'm guessing you're recommending it? Have you seen Bone Tomahawk? That was my favorite horror from the past few years. The 13th Warrior is a great one. I still constAntly quote it, especially the "today was a Good day. A GOOD day." line...

[@thelonelybaker2151]

I unfortunately watched your the bulk of your reviews before the lockdown a new vid tickles my foreskin with excitement

[@1391Ghost]

you could have not typed that

[@lastofmygeneration]

LOL "Tickles my foreskin with excitement" ahhhhahaha

[@hinro]

@@1391Ghost why not? Deus gives them those funny feelings. what's wrong with that?

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

Andrea Riseborough has quickly risen to become one of my favorite actors. And she's fucking killing it in the horror genre.

[@nukritik2933]

Loved this movie. One of the most psychedelic film experiences I've ever had.

[@danielspencer582]

The chainsaw fight was referencing Phantasm 2, one of my favorite films. Love your reviews and glad you got back at it.🤘

[@lonew2657]

Reggie: Come on you Muther!

[@adampoll4977]

That was a really informative insight and really does make me appreciate this film even more. Thanks!

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.

[@adampoll4977]

Awesome and well researched breakdown. Makes me want to watch Mandy again with new eyes! Color Out of Space next? I mean, Full on Lovecraft AND full on Cage!!?

[@thomasstewart9752]

something really interesting is how this is set up as two separate horror movies. the first movie is the antagonist victory, the second is the protagonist victory.

[@Blisterdude123]

I love the fact that one of the bizarre ways you can stretch to watch this is Friday the 13th in reverse, almost. A troubled man lives with a woman who provides an almost motherly affection. A group of hippies turn up, with their drugs, their parties, kills the 'motherly' influence. Cage goes ape shit and murders everything in sight in vengeance. Also, I adore that the 'Mandy' title card is done in the style of most black metal band logos.

[@docholiday7348]

Best reviewer/ KZbinr hands down, always buzzing to see a new vid, keep it up pal.

[@italiancanadian2851]

Missed your channel so much, I thought I was dreaming when I got the notification for a new new video. GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS!

[@mistressdarkness7441]

I was so excited to see this and was not disappointed. I'll have to check out the twitch stream this week after I finish my final essays.

[@MeeplandHeights]

Oh hell yeah! I feel like I do a binge of your backlog almost everytime right before you make a new video haha. Hope you're keeping safe! Love from Canada

[@Frankovelli]

Can't wait! Also excited for what you come up with for you next upload three months down the road.

[@jaysonthelucero5478]

Great film! Had a really good experience seeing it in the theatre. Keep up the fantastic reviews. Love your style. (got The Beast hanging on my wall also)

Deusdecon and mandy OMG , good to have you back.

[@themonkey16]

Can't wait. Love your reviews

[@fl0tingbean632]

I love this movie! I’m so glad you decided to review it! You should also check out the director’s other film, Beyond the Black Rainbow.

[@jocelynmanuel1524]

Super mindfucky movie. Super super super slow but it's worth it 7/10

[@cassyblack3346]

I need to get my hands on this. Every review is just like... ordering me to. And this was so well done. Your attention to detail and symbolism was mind blowing and went WAY beyond pretty much any other reviewer.

[@NerdyPinupCrystal]

This is one of my favorite movies. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this review, it’s so good! I love how much research you do for these movies, it’s really fascinating and it’s made me appreciate this movie even more than I already do. I just wanted to say I really love your work 💖

[@deusdeaconReviews]

really glad you enjoy the video this is one of my favourite too, really appreciate it thanks for watching

[@jamesdrew8222]

This is one of your best reviews! I love the movie and I think this is a great tribute to it. I love the references to the Heroes Journey and Joseph Campbell!

Man I love yo reviews man. Cant wait for the next one. Keep doing what you doing. Upload more often people love you dawg

[@stephenveilleux4059]

Good to have you back! Love your stuff.

[@elimgarak4667]

I've watched this review of yours so many times. I loved this movie, and I'm really glad you got to set down and break all this down for us. I've been showing some of my friends your channel, and tell them to start with this one. Especially because I think it shows your approach to how you review, very spectacularly.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Really appreciate that I do consider this vide to pinnacle of my video making so I’m glad people are starting with this one.

[@elimgarak4667]

@@deusdeaconReviews No problem. I do find this one to be my favorite as well.

[@bugweasel]

Thanks! I enjoy watching your vids cos of the insights into trivia and lore etc. While I find some analysis to be reaching, at least yours comes with backing and explanations. Keep it up!

[@Irmavep666]

Have to thank you for this one. I took your advice in the beginning and watched it first. Took me a little to get into it but this was an excellent film and great review.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 beautiful review man. Totally immersive experience, like Mandy itself. Bravo.

[@davidj.thompson]

Haven't seen you in a while; glad you're back! Enjoyed your take on this movie and, after hearing so much about it, I'm gonna watch it!

[@smashrhythm]

It's great to see you back doing what you do best. You are one of the best movie anylists on KZbin and your choice in subject matter catters perfectly to my taste. I would love to hear your breakdown of The Lighthouse. It has many underlying meanings and a rich foundation in fokelore for you to dive into. Well done and keep it up.

[@bara8928]

That movie reall was a ride. Thank you for reviewing it. Personally I saw the Cheddar Goblin commercial as a sign of the "uncaring Universe" where the most terrible and soul shattering things can happen to you and the radio still plays an mindless upbeat song when you drag yourself back home. Kind of a Symbol that the "real world" doesnt care what happened to him and its something he has to deal with all on his own as is his trouble with the law. For the Crossbow bit, I understood it this way: Red is (or was) a poacher, having hidden the crossbow with his friend so it wont be found by the cops. That would also explain the way the Police acts toward him. Also serves the purpose why he cant (or wont) go to the Sherrif to report the crime and plays into Mandy telling him about her Father killing young birds.

[@Largentina.]

I think you're on to something with that poacher theory.

[@marky437]

this has made my weekend a new video from Deusdaecon and also a new Bard video!!!

[@VBplays01]

I got a notification when you originally uploaded this, as I hadn't seen mandy at the time, I took your advice and I closed the video. Fast forward 2 years, I've just finished watching the movie tonight! And now I'm finally gonna tuck into this episode 😊 When I found your channel back then, I was I bad place (you probably hear this regularly) but your videos really helped me through that rough patch! and every now and again I'll come back and rewatch your videos, there like a comfort zone for me. Thanks Deus, keep doing your thing ❤

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Glad you came back to watch hope the video was worth the wait, and im glad the videos could be of help

[@andymares3594]

Man you’re so underrated! I love your work dude keep it up!

[@luketfer]

Just curious if we're going to see a review of Color out of Space at least for Cthulu month :)

[@arthurnegrete2385]

Yessss Ive been waitting for this Review

[@deusdeaconReviews]

its possible you didn’t need to wait considering this review is 9 months old

[@buddythewonderdog8065]

This is a perfect example of a review which actually adds to the experience of the film itself. The review is not about the reviewer trying to be entertaining for views. It is a deep dive that explores the work in depth. DD celebrates the art of the film and in doing so causes the audience to experience the art in a new way. All of this is to say...why the hell does this guy not have more subs?!

[@deusdeaconReviews]

wow, huge compliments thank you so much, all the thing you mention is exactly what I was hoping to achieve with my videos.

[@sebastianemond5313]

7:32 - 7:44 You sure this wasn't foreshadowing Color out of Space?🤣🤣🤣

[@teodellorcio4590]

Abraxas is also a character in marvel comics and the direct opposite of Galactus, so it still opposes Red's planet choice

[@jocelynmanuel1524]

You are a fantastic reviewer really great content. I dig these long vids of yours!

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Thank you, I really appreciate that

[@patrickmckenna6391]

A great review of a great film. Just as another side note to the horn of Abraxas, in several prison interviews Charles Manson talks at length about the influence that Abraxas has had in his life.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

I admittedly I didn’t delve into the cults significance enough in the video and I’m not surprised that Manson knew about abraxxas, But the man was a manipulative psychopathic con man who was a lot less crazy then he liked to pretend and I’d rather not perpetuated the myth that he did what he did for ritualistic and occult purposes, racism was his motivation plain and simple

[@connorvanrensburg462]

Glad to have you back

[@erikbuchanan4648]

It's been a while but you came back strong with Mandy. After seeing Mandy for the 1st time, I immediately bought it and his first film Beyond the Black Rainbow. I would love to see you cover that as well! Can't wait to see what he creates next.

[@MegaBatman1973]

Damned glad to have you back,sir!

[@somedaywriter8653]

Watched Mandy specifically for your review and I am so happy I did

[@Kunioczek]

I have an idea why they didn't put the scar on Mandy in the animated sequence. Red saw Mandy as his perfect piece in life, you now, a hard-working, recovering alcoholic with only one thing to live for. It makes sense, for me, with the rest of the movie and why, with Red's every action the visualisation of the movie changes. Red lost his ideal, one piece of normality, and his world, his mind swiftly changes.

[@ProTobigen]

Hey man, as a Gnostic, I appreciated the analysis, was nice to see someone in the wild talk about old Gnostic beliefs. Tho note, anyone reading this, Gnosticism is a very, *very* varied collections of beliefs. The views expressed in the anaylisis in the first bit are classical Sethian-adjacent views, mostly.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

To correct that for you, I hope you don’t mind but I added the last part of your comment to my pinned comment just to make sure its seen properly, and I must admit I was expecting you say I was talking complete bolllocks so I’m glad you didnt.

[@Amanda_Harper]

I love the leccy blanket backdrop, they make great sound dampeners. Great review too.

[@EthalaRide]

another thing kinda interesting, since I didn't know anything about Abraxas and the Archons, So I just knew about the basic roman/greek planetary namesakes. Jupiter's greek equivalent is Zeus, typically the Ruler of the other Gods in the pantheon. Saturn (greek equivalent Cronus) is a Titan known for devouring his children (including Zeus, that scary painting of a gangly huge old man eating a person, _Saturn Devouring His Son_) and eventually being overpowered by Zeus and thrown into tartarus. Red picked a Titan that eats Gods, but then changes his answer to Galactus, a mortal man that transformed into a cosmic entity that eats Planets.

I loved Mandy and it would be cool to see you do a long from video like this for the Lighthouse. I think that movie has a lot of cool things you could talk about.

[@Minority119]

I find this review to be on your top videos, it really feels like you're passionate about the movie itself rather than just making content. This and Conan are my fave reviews

[@tylerskiss]

Wow, I thought I was cool for catching the Friday the 13th, Cenobite and Heavy Metal references, but I barely scratched the surface it seems! Great review!

[@alley65xsz4u]

Love your videos!!!

[@erinlefevers7302]

I've missed your reviews!

[@IknowIamkindagreat]

Having spoken with him directly, Panos is HUGELY influenced by the ingestion of psychedelics (his first film, Beyond the Black Rainbow, which is stunning, shows this as well), and he was hugely influenced by the 70's acid horror movie, Blue Sunshine. Guy is living in the year 3000 while we are all stuck in 2020.

[@devilsdaughter938]

Blue Sunshine was bananas- haven’t thought of that movie in years!

[@tammievawter9477]

It was interesting seeing a hero's journey table-full disclosure, I am nearly 60, so not the average person here perhaps. Waaaay back in High School (Secondary for you I believe) i had a fantasy literature writing class and we had to write short pieces covering just that. Good to see it again...thanks. Never even knew this movie was a thing.

[@blakemeads9225]

I was fortunate to see this in the theater for a one night only screening. It’s one of the funnest times I’ve ever had at a movie. The whole audience was film fans, and everyone was invested in the film.

[@jmcruz5385]

Deusdeacon return is f****in real! We missed you, man!

[@MamaMOB]

Ooohhh I’m excited 😆

[@jackeliot1358]

Hey Deus glad to ya back and im so glad you did this review! I knew about this movie but knowing about Cage's... Varied roles, I kinda shrugged it off. I watched the first few minutes of the review and decided to watch the movie. Quickly found out why your review was as long as it is lol, cause my god this movie is stacked! Glad you helped me decide to watch it. But I am disappointed that you didn't mention the ridiculous knife penis. I'm pretty sure there is no deeper meaning to it but fer me at least it was definitely a tension breaker! Anyway love your reviews and hope to see more

Mandy and Color Out of Space...DOUBLE FEATURE....Nic and Nic

[@sebastianemond5313]

The atmosphere and lore of Mandy reminds me of Hobo with a Shotgun mixed with Heavy Metal and The Road Warrior. And I f#*&ing love it! Thank you so much for introducing me to it, Deus! I have to see this!

Glad you're back man

[@IDKeffect82]

Wait... Green Orb? The Loknar?! Well... that explains everything. MANDY is a stealth prequel to Heavy Metal.

[@sebastianemond5313]

Maybe Mandyvwasca reincarnation of Tarna, and Mandy became a warrior like Den when he travels to Neverwhere.

[@jacksonknightproductions8697]

When Red fights the chainsaw dude near the end i swear that mustve been a reference to the end of Phantasm 2.

Welcome back,been to long but keep up the good work

[@albedoyuriev31]

I just saw this movie for the first time recently because of this review and my opinion is.....HOLY SHIT DID I LOVE IT!!! My god it hypnotized me from start to finish. So difficult to avert my eyes from the screen. I didn't even want to blink. The music, the story, the colors, the acting...It's almost perfect. My favorite movie of all time is Braveheart, but since I saw Mandy it's now tied. Normally, I would say that I desire more to see, but this film deserves the honor of standing alone. It doesn't need a sequel.
