In the series finale of “Seinfeld”, the stars of the show end up in jail for crimes against humanity. In the episode, they all fail to stop a robbery and instead mock the victim. While the bit was meant as comedy, it’s become even more socially relevant as years have passed.
I bring this up because Octane Entertainment is bringing a new horror-thriller to Cannes that takes this concept and brings the karma back to the witnesses with horrific consequences.
Written and directed by Final Destination creator Jeffrey Reddick (The Final Wish, Dead Awake), in Don’t Look Back, “When a young woman overcoming her traumatic past is among several witnesses who see a man fatally assaulted and don’t intervene, they find themselves targeted by someone, or something, out for revenge.”
Originally announced under the title Good Samaritan, the film stars Kourtney Bell (It Follows) and Jeremy Holm (The Ranger) with Skyler Hart, Will Stout, Jaqueline Fleming, Han Soto, Damon Lipari, Amanda Grace Benitez, Stephen Twardokus and Dean West.
Here’s the official sales art ahead of the Cannes market.
