Megan Williams Battle Royale With Cheese 'Mandao Returns' is a silly, but charming, film about time travel, spirits and three friends trying to fix the timeline. Dec 14, 2021 Full Review Norman Gidney HorrorBuzz If you want a comedy sci-fi noir with heart and a side of brains, Mandao Returns is it. Rated: 8 Aug 3, 2021 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Ventana Indiscreta The film feels like a true sequel, set to expand the world in which the story takes place, but without losing the charm of the first instalment. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Apr 6, 2021 Full Review Chuck Foster Film Threat Ultimately, Dunn reminds us that an independent filmmaker on a tight budget can deliver gold with little more than a strong script and solid actors.
