Grand Isle (2019)
A hugely enjoyable slice of Grand Guignol / Southern Gothic in which a handyman ends up stuck during a hurricane at the isolated mansion of former marine Nic Cage and his nympho wife KaDee Strickland.
Yes the story is bonkers and it is fun and Cage is on top form but he's bettered by Strickland as his demented sex pot wife in a bizarre game of cat and mouse as both have plans for the young handyman (Luke Benward) and that's before we even get into what is exactly behind the cellar door.
I'm sure those who wish to can pull this apart piece by piece but i found it an at times thrilling and very entertaining ride.
