Actress Aura Garcia (Jenny Lorenzo) has died of an overdose, and her
manager Ted (Jim O'Doherty) hires psychic Andy (Sean Liang) to get in
touch with her, and while Andy isn't really a psychic, he knows how to put
up a show, with his lodgers Mandao (Scott Dunn) and Jackson (Sean McBride)
forced to assist him. And Mandao, he's actually a real astral traveller,
even if he's not too happy about his gift. Ted though quickly unmasks Andy
as a fraud, and that should be that - if it wasn't for Aura reaching out
from the beyond begging to save her life - which Mandao actually can
because he has mastered the art of astral time-travelling. So after Andy
has brokered a deal, Mandao and Jackson travel back in time, possess their
respective other's past selves, dress up as policemen and pretend to do a
drug bust on the very night Aura's supposed to overdose - and it works,
too, and they even manage to swipe the money Andy has been promised for
the whole operation. And that's where things get sticky, because as it
turns out, Aura's dealer Fer (Gina Gomez Dunn), a good friend of Mandao's,
has overheard her talking about wanting to make a blood sacrifice of Ted
as an initiation rite for an evil cult. And now Mandao and company decide
to do the right thing and save Ted's life - and this is where chaos erupts
... If supernatural time travel movies are your thing, then Mandao
Returns is definitely for you, basically because while its approach is
all-out comedic, it takes its premise seriously, and much of the humour is
actually derived from its thought through storyline. And while the budget
of this movie certainly wasn't the highest, the film doesn't try to be
bigger than it is but uses what it has to the fullest - be it situation
comedy, colourful characters or even bits of atmospheric filmmaking -,
making this one great fun to watch.
