A bizarre and surrealist film, Prisoners of the Ghostland is incomprehensible nonsense. The plot, what little there is, surrounds a convict being sent into an apocalyptic wasteland on a mission to rescue a girl. However, there’s so many strange and fantastic elements that it’s anyone’s guess as to what’s really happening, or whether it’s all a dream or some kinds of allegory. Nicolas Cage, Sofia Boutella, and Bill Moseley lead the cast and do what they can, but with this script, there’s not much that they can do; as it’s more about symbolism and evoking an emotional response than character and story. Completely pointless, Prisoners of the Ghostland is a confusing film that’s too abstract for its own good.
