After its hit festival run, Dark Sky Films is proud to announce the Blu-ray and DVD release of Ted Geoghegan’s MOHAWK on April 10th. The release will feature reversible box art (pictured above). MOHAWK is a no-holds-barred action-thriller marking the second team-up between writer-director Ted Geoghegan, producer Travis Stevens, cinematographer Karim Hussain, and Dark Sky Films after their award-winning 2015 horror hit, We Are Still Here.
After one of her tribe sets an American camp ablaze, a young Mohawk warrior finds herself pursued by a contingent of military renegades set on revenge. Fleeing deep into the woods they call home, Oak and Calvin, along with their British companion Joshua, must now fight back against the bloodthirsty Colonel Holt and his soldiers – using every resource both real and supernatural that the winding forest can offer.
Praised as “gripping” and “a wild ride” by Indiewire, and “realistic and very personal” by The Hollywood Reporter, MOHAWK unfolds over the course of one bloody day during The War of 1812. Birth. Movies. Death. Says, “[Mohawk] does a fine job of reminding us that sometimes the truest horror is that of our own history.” and RogerEbert.com called the film “A searing genre hybrid.”
MOHAWK stars Kaniehtiio Horn (Hemlock Grove), Justin Rain (Fear the Walking Dead), and Eamon Farren (Twin Peaks: The Return) along with Ezra Buzzington (Justified, The Middle), and including Ian Colletti (“Arseface” from AMC’s Preacher) and Jonathan Huber, with WWE Superstar Luke Harper making his big screen debut.
Produced by Dark Sky Films, the producers and distributors of We Are Still Here as well as House of the Devil, Stake Land, Hatchet 2 + 3, and many more, and Snowfort Pictures (Cheap Thrills, We Are Still Here, Starry Eyes) this is The Last of the Mohicans meets The Last House on the Left.

WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING:
Mohawk is a gripping and despairing action picture, about how we can’t seem to stop trying to destroy those we distrust – including ourselves.” -LA Times
“Ted Geoghegan’s swift, slicing thriller Mohawk makes a vigorous case for horror as perhaps the most fitting film genre to capture some truths of American history.” -Village Voice
“A period-piece action-horror effort with relevant sociopolitical thoughts on its bloodthirsty mind.” -Variety
“With its politically charged themes of oppression and the genocide of Native Americans and the play on how history has been presented in the past, Mohawk is a fascinating and engaging tale of bloody revenge.” -The Playlist
