‘Mohawk’: Fantasia Review

Vengeful spirits and grisly sadism feature prominently in Ted Geoghegan’s Mohawk, but this 1814 tale of Native- versus Anglo-American conflict isn’t quite the exploitation flick many Fantasia attendees will expect. Respectful of its heroes’ suffering and willing (for a while, at least) not to afford them the usual big-screen satisfactions, it mourns a centuries-old genocide through the torment of three young protagonists.
