PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Two young orphans in the Tirolian Mountains come under siege by a vicious band of hunters. Frightened of being separated by child services following the death of their mother, a self-sufficient 16-year-old girl (SOFIA LOWE) and her 10-year-old brother (MAXIMILIAN HARNISCH) \u2013 who hasn\u2019t spoken a word since seeing his father killed by the mayor (PETER STORMARE) \u2013 strive to live off the land in peace. Their innocence is shattered, however, when a group of hunters led by the mayor\u2019s son brutalizes and rapes the free-spirited girl. Later, when a well-meaning social services worker arrives too late to protect the terrorized siblings, the girl and her brother prepare to take a stand against their ruthless attackers.<\/p>\n

SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This release comes with a semi-glossy slip cover<\/strong> and inside is a Vudu Digital Copy<\/strong>. Not 100% positive, but I think this is a Wal-Mart exclusive…<\/p>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.75\/5 | AUDIO \u2013 4.0\/5
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The movie is presented with a 2.40 anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio and at least is beautifully shot by director of photographer Reed Morano (Frozen River<\/em>).<\/p>\n

The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is actually fairly strong especially since 99% of the film is dialogue-free thus hearing every bit of nature as well as gunfire, reverberating through each channel.

OVERALL \u2013 2.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Overall, Autumn Blood<\/em><\/strong> is slow-moving, a bit too slow actually, but the performance from hopefully star-in-the-making Sofia Lowe at least makes it tolerable and not a complete waste of time. The DVD distributed by Arc Entertainment offers up good looking and sounding video and audio transfers but there\u2019s nary a feature in sight.<\/p>\n
