After several people watch a man get killed in the park - and do nothing - they learn that each of them are being hunted and killed by a supernatural force.
If that sounds somewhat like a reimagined Final Destination - one act uniting the deaths of multiple people - that's because this was written and director by that series' creator, Jeffrey Reddick.
Jeremy Holm, who was The Ranger, shows up in this, to explain the karma behind this tale of people who have witnessed murders but refused to help. When they finally become a Good Samaritan (the original title),they die. Also - birds fly right into windows, so the explanation seems to be more supernatural than some kind of conspiracy.
I could totally see this as being a movie that would have been on the shelves at Blockbuster and you can consider that a compliment. It's very direct to video in all the best of ways.

Formerly Good Samaritan
Don't Look Back (2021)
So upon seeing this on the shelf in my local supermarket & seeing 'From the creator of Final Destination' on the top I was sort of excited. But given that I've seen dozens of taglines like that before on othet Straight-To-DVD Films I wasn't holding my breath.
So, the film follows a young woman named Caitlin who witnesses a murder along with a few other bystanders who do sweet FA. One man, however, gets his phone out and films the incident taking place & it is then Caitlin grabs the phone & phones for help. But it is then someone or something begins picking of each of the bystanders in a form of karma fueled vigilante justice.
I found the film to be weak. It's more of a thriller with little horror elements in it. Furthermore, the story while unique lacked impact & didn't really have a interesting ending which I sort of saw coming. The twist itself was w0ke, M3 T00 & pretty much screamed the message, '2 wrongs don't make a right'. The deaths, gore, blood & dark suspensful fear felt in the Final Destination Pentanology is lost in this film. It's short at 1hr & 16mins but drags somewhat.
Overall, it's bad. Don't watch.
2/10.
Idea is damn good but
I think the situation just inspire by many real event but the movie just falling apart and cannot deliver the message as well as boring as hell. The horror part just not terrifying and non sense for coming out the horror....
