WTF Happened In Prisoners of the Ghostland?! | 2021 Sundance Video Review

February 2, 2021 by EJ Moreno

Prisoners of the Ghostland, 2021.

Directed by Sion Sono.
Starring Nicolas Cage, Sofia Boutella, Nick Cassavetes, Ed Skrein, Bill Moseley, Yuzuka Nakaya, and Tak Sakaguchi.

Nicolas Cage is known for his bizarre films. The same can be said about Japanese filmmaker Sion Sono. When these two minds mix, it’s nothing but pure insanity – though Prisoners of the Ghostland feels tamer than what you’d expect. Join our host EJ Moreno as he dives into the latest offer from Sono, and see why this Sundance film has everyone buzzing.

Prisoners of the Ghostland sees Cage taking on the role of Hero, a notorious criminal “who is sent to rescue an abducted girl who has disappeared into a dark supernatural universe. They must break the evil curse that binds them and escape the mysterious revenants that rule the Ghostland, an East-meets-West vortex of beauty and violence.”
