Mohawk, the second film fromWe Are Still HeredirectorTed Geoghegan, has unleashed a brand new trailer, and it looks particularly promising. The film is set against the backdrop of the War of 1812, and follows a young Mohawk warrior turning the tables on the American soldiers pursuing her. Much bloodshed follows. Watch theMohawktrailer below.
I was a big fan of Ted Geoghegan’s bloody haunted house flickWe Are Still Here, and have been eagerly awaiting his follow-up,Mohawk. After a lengthy festival run (where I managed to constantly miss it),Mohawkwill finally be released this year, and there’s a new trailer to prove it. Based on this trailer, the wait has been worth it. Check it out.

Geoghegan co-wrote the script withGrady Hendrix. Here’s the synopsis:
ReviewingMohawkfor /Film, Scott Beggsoffered praisefor the film, while confessing that some budget limitations caused an issue or two:
“Fresh from his ghostly triumphWe Are Still Here, writer/director Ted Geoghegan finds himself combing the woods for a different kind of horror withMohawk. One part revenge thriller, one part historical drama, one part home invasion where the United States is the home being invaded, this ambitious indie project delivers a spark of real-world tragedy yet falls prey to its low budget limitations…Mohawk must be praised for its appetite. There’s a reason that historical fiction commands a huge budget, and it’s a good thing Geoghegan didn’t listen to that conventional wisdom. He’s crafted a tonal hybrid that’s captivating and vicious, fearful and cheer-worthy.”
