In this new film by Dean Devlin called “Bad Samaritan” we meet Sean, an Irish immigrant that dabbles in photography with artistic aspirations, and that also uses his job as a parking valet at a restaurant with his friend Derek to break into the houses of some of their customers. Using an interesting system to pick their targets and stealing only things that can go unnoticed for some time, Sean decides to break into the house of Cael Erendreich, a snobbish customer that also owns a luxurious Maserati. Being guided by his friend Derek on the phone, Sean finds several objects that could allow him to quit this side job, but his plans get smashed when Sean accidentally discovers that Erendreich has a girl captive, and that he might be even torturing her. Trying to not get caught by the house’s owner, but noticing some scary tools that makes clear that the girl might not have much time left to live, Sean flees the place, promising her to come back with help.
Feeling awful for leaving the girl at the house, but aware that he might go to jail or even being deported due his criminal activities, Sean makes an anonymous call to the police hoping that the girl will be found and rescued, but as you might guess Erendreich not only has a good alibi to avoid any suspicion by the police, but also when Sean and Derek get into his house again, there is no trace of the girl ever being there. Here is when a dangerous game of cat an mouse starts, since Erendreich is not only aware that someone is meddling with his fun, but also learns about the young men identities and decides to mess up their lives little by little, putting them in danger also their loved ones, knowing very well that the police won’t believe them if they ask for help.
En “Bad Samaritan” conocemos a Sean, un inmigrante irlandés aficionado a la fotografía con aspiraciones artísticas, que usa su trabajo como “valet parking” junto con su amigo Derek para robar en las casas de los clientes del restaurante donde trabajan. Usando un sistema interesante donde elijen a sus victimas dependiendo de su actitud hacia ellos y robando coas que no sean muy notables, Sean decide irrumpir en el hogar de Cael Erendreich, un cliente pedante y dueño de un lujoso carro Maserati. Siendo guiado por su amigo Derek por teléfono, Sean encuentra varios objetos de valor que les podría permitir retirarse de este trabajo alternativo, pero sus planes se esfuman cuando Sean descubre por accidente que Erendreich tiene cautiva a una chica, y que incluso podría estarla torturando. Tratando de evitar ser descubierto por el dueño de la casa, pero viendo herramientas que dejan claro que esa mujer tiene las horas de su vida contadas, Sean huye del lugar prometiéndole a la joven regresar con ayuda.
Cayendo en un cargo de consciencia mayor al miedo de ir a la cárcel (e incluso ser deportado) en caso de descubrirse sus actividades criminales. Sean hace una llamada anónima a la policía, esperando a que la mujer sea encontrada y rescatada, pero como se han de imaginar, Erendreich no solo tiene una coartada perfecta, sino que hasta cuando Sean y Derek entran en la casa de nuevo, no hay evidencia alguna de la mujer cautiva. Aquí es donde empieza un tenso juego de “Gato y ratón” donde Erendreich, enterado no solo de que alguien le quiere interrumpir su diversión, sino hasta consciente de la identidad de los dos jóvenes, decide echarles a perder su vida poco a poco, poniéndolos en peligro no solo a ellos, sino a sus seres queridos, pues sabe que la policía no los va a defender.
Que onda raza! En esta ocasión vemos como las vidas de un luchador, un exconvicto y una obsesiva acaparadora se complican y entrelazan por culpa de un carismatico criminal en “Lowlife”. Aprendemos lo que es buscar venganza en tierra de indios con “Mohawk” y vemos a un cinico investigador paranormal poner sus creencias a prueba con “Ghost Stories”.

Durante la parte final del conflicto conocido como “La guerra de 1812” entre los Estados Unidos y Reino Unido, en los bosques de Nueva York, vemos que la tribu Mohawk a pesar de sufrir varias perdidas a manos de los Norteamericanos, siguen manteniéndose neutrales en el conflicto. Oak y Calvin Two Rivers, dos jóvenes guerreros, tratan de convencer a los jefes de la tribu para unirse a los británicos, a petición de Joshua, un emisario de Inglaterra. Al ver que el consejo sigue firme en su decisión de permanecer neutrales, Calvin decide atacar por su cuenta un campamento con soldados Norteamericanos mientras duermen, pero un pequeño grupo de soldados sobrevive y se lanzan a cazarlo. Esto pone en peligro no solo a Calvin, Oak y Joshua, sino a toda la tribu Mohawk, pues estos soldados bajo la excusa de buscar justicia no dudarán en matar a cualquier nativo que se encuentren en su camino.
“Mohawk” es el segundo filme de Ted Geoghegan (“We Are Stil Here”) y en esta ocasión deja de lado los cuentos de fantasmas para traernos una cruel y violenta historia de venganza, situada en una parte de la historia de Estados Unidos que muchos norteamericanos preferirían no recordar, pero que en estos tiempos de tensión política e intolerancia nos hace dudar si hemos realmente avanzado durante los últimos 200 años en como tratamos a las comunidades indígenas. (El filme incluso hace una mención honorable en los créditos finales a la resistencia de Standing Rock)
During the final years of the conflict now known as “The War of 1812” between the United States and the United Kingdom, we see that in the woods of New York, the Mohawk tribe still stays neutral in the war, despite having suffered several casualties at the hands of the American soldiers. Oak and Calvin Two Rivers, a couple of young Mohawk warriors, try to convince their elders to accept the offer made by Joshua, an emissary from England and to side with the British army. Seeing that the elders maintain their decision to stay neutral in the conflict, Calvin decides to attack on his own an American camp while the soldiers sleeps, but a small group of soldiers survive and begin to hunt him down. This puts not only Oak and Joshua in immediate danger, but also the whole tribe, since under the excuse of seeking justice the American soldiers will not hesitate to kill any native they can find in their path.
“Mohawk” is the new film directed by Ted Geoghegan (“We Are Still Here”) and this time he leaves the ghost stories on the side to bring us a cruel and violent revenge story, set in a part of the history of the United States that most Americans prefer not to talk about too often. Seeing the political environment that we live in today, and with racism and intolerance still very present, “Mohawk” makes us wonder if we have really advanced that much in the last 200 years, or if at least are we treating the native American communities any better. (BTW, the film makes an honorable mention to the Standing Rock’s resistance movement).
For several years Professor Phillip Goodman has been dedicated to debunk scammers claiming to be psychics and to expose supposed supernatural incidents. One day Professor Goodman is contacted by a renown psychologist and paranormal investigator called Charles Cameron, who has been missing for decades and also inspired Goodman to choose his profession. Cameron, now very old and sick, ask Goodman to investigate three cases that even he can’t explain and that has caused him to questions his own life’s work.
At first Goodman believes that there is nothing in the cases that he can’t explain with science and logic. but as he keeps interviewing the people involved, the professor starts to believe there is something odd behind their stories… Could it be that their madness is contagious? Or maybe… Just maybe, their stories are true? And what about the shadow that he keeps seeing in the corner of his eye?
“Ghost Stories” is a very interesting anthology film. Even when the stories are very different from each other, and the tone can feel uneven, I think they work very well together, each one of the segments managing to create a very tense atmosphere on their own. The first story could be considered a slow burn, where a night watchman shares the events of a very particular night in the abandoned asylum where he worked. This is the segment where we need to be very patient, but at the end it pays very well and sets the tone for the following stories.
Phillip Goodman es un profesor que por años se ha dedicado a desenmascarar estafadores que se hacen pasar por psíquicos y descartando todo incidente que se denomine como sobrenatural. un día el profesor Goodman es contactado por Charles Cameron, un afamado psicólogo investigador paranormal que por décadas habia estado desaparecido y que de joven inspiró a Goodman en su profesión. Cameron, ahora muy enfermo y de edad avanzada le pide a Goodman investigar tres casos que el mismo no ha podido explicar y que ha puesto en duda el trabajo de toda su vida.
Al principio Goodman cree que los casos no son nada que no se pueda explicar con lógica y ciencia, pero conforme se va entrevistando con cada una de las personas involucradas, el profesor empieza a creer que sus historias no son simple producto de la imaginación, al tiempo que una extraña silueta parece estarlo siguiendo donde quiera que va.
“Ghost Stories” es un filme de antología muy interesante y entretenido, a pesar de que las historias son muy distintas entre si y que el tono puede sentirse algo disparejo, me pareció que todas funcionan muy bien, logrando cada uno de los segmentos generar una atmósfera tensa cuando lo requieren. La primera historia podríamos considerarla como un cocido a fuego lento, donde un velador narra una noche muy peculiar en el asilo abandonado donde trabajaba. Este es el relato que mas ocupa que le tengamos paciencia, pero al final paga muy bien y sienta el tono para las historias posteriores.
Y en este nuevo experimento social (entiendase, otro episodio hecho al aventón) vemos porque no debes andar echando maldiciones cuando te hierve la sangre en “Pyewacket”, aprendemos que las cortes son un infierno no importa en que pais (o religion) prefieras con el filme “Along With The Gods: The Two Worlds” y vemos como los juegos cachondos para pubertos se vuelven cosa de vida o muerte en “Truth Or Dare”.

After dying saving a girl from a building on fire, Kim Ja-hong is taken by 3 guardian spirits to the realm of the afterlife, where for 49 days he will judged in 7 trials, each one in the hell corresponding to the crimes of Betrayal, Violence, Filial impiety, Murder, Indolence, Deceit and Injustice in order for Kim Ja-hong achieve a chance for reincarnation. At first the guardians are confident that Kim Ja-hong, being considered a Paragon, will pass the trials without problems, but just as the first trial concludes, the guardians start to realize that Kim Ja-hong has made some questionable choices in life, which could make his journey a lot harder than expected, and destroy the chances for the guardians themselves to
“Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds” is the first of two movies adapting the webcomic of the same name created by Joo Ho-min, and personally, I thought it was a very good film. From the get-go I would advise to not see this movie expecting an action film, but a great supernatural drama with several cool action scenes in the mix. Being that I am not an expert on Korean culture or religious philosophy, I will base my review on the story itself.
From the start I liked a lot the story and the characters, both the humans and the guardians. At first Kim Ja-hong might seem like a simple plain character, but as the movie advances we can appreciate that there is a lot more of him, and how his acts could be not always done with the best intentions, therefore making us wonder if he can be redeemed at all. I though the guardians were very well written and developed: The wise and calm Gang-rim, the cocky and impulsive Haewonmak, and the diligent (and charmingly enthusiastic) Deok-choon. The work of the main cast bringing their characters to life was great, and each one of them had their time to shine in the screen, although I felt that Deok-choon fades a little bit on the third act.
