“Karma is Action, Vipaka is Reaction”
Directed by Philippe Caland
The premise
An earnest life-coach/author, Thomas Carter, is mysteriously abducted by a deranged client, Angel Sanchez, who delves into Thomas' teachings and uses his spiritual messages of Karma - action and reaction (Vipaka), against him to terrorize him and his family for their past sins.
Horror Vault's take
A successful life coach and self-help author finds his polished philosophy turned into a weapon against him when a troubled client takes his teachings on karma to a terrifying extreme. What begins as a professional relationship spirals into a harrowing ordeal of captivity and psychological torment. The film forces its protagonist — and the audience — to confront whether the sins of the past can ever truly be outrun. Forest Whitaker and Anthony Mackie face off in a charged battle of wills that keeps the tension coiled throughout.
