Prisoners of the Ghostland (feat. Nicolas Cage)

Set in Samurai Town, this film is a bizarre combination of western drama and kung fu fantasy. The plot is ridiculous by american standards, which makes it somewhat hard to grasp. Hero, our hero, played by Cage, is a prisoner who's sent on a quest to save the warlord's grandaughter who I think is cursed. Hero is sent on the quest in a suit set to explode in three days, and if he succeeds, he wins back his freedom.

But on this quest, Hero has to confront demons other than the demons of his past. Yes, it sounds bizarre, but doesn't it also sound exciting and fantastical? While there isn't much kung-fu fighting in this film, it gives us a visual feast of magical weirdness. From the team that brought us Mandy, Color Out of Space, and Mom and Dad, this movie is definitely one to catch.
