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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a child, Natsuki believed she was an alien, a different species to her earthling family and classmates. She hoped a spaceship would come down and take her home. Now, she lives quietly in an asexual marriage, pretending to be normal.

But the buried horrors of Natsuki's past are pursuing her. As she flees the suburbs for the Nagano mountains and a reunion with her beloved cousin Yuu, she wonders, what will it take to escape the earthlings?

Omg this book had me hooked and it was insane!!! At the root of it it’s 3 people who suffered abuse as children who never felt they fit in anywhere even with their own families. It’s so completely mind absorbing that even now I’ve read it I still don’t know what I’ve just read 🤣
Did they find common ground in each others trauma? Or they could be real aliens maybe?
