Nicolas Cage (2 more)
Its violent and colorful imagery
Beautiful cinematography
The film mostly makes no sense. (2 more)
It's bizarre without any other defining qualities
Tons of cool concepts that lead to nothing
An Oddball Samurai Infused Jambalaya
The problem with Prisoners of the Ghostland is that Nicolas Cage himself tried to promote it as the craziest film he’s ever made, but the film never lives up to the insane concept of having a bomb strapped to your nutsack. The film forcefully shoves Mad Max influences into a Japanese theme with nuclear deformed samurai ghosts, bouncing gumballs, animal masks, pinwheels, and bubbles, and Nicolas Cage threatening to karate chop everyone into oblivion. All of this absurdity sounds like it should be way more memorable than it actually ends up being. Prisoners of the Ghostland is a massive letdown that implodes under its own lackluster outrageousness.
