Autumn Blood
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 and her 10-year-old brother - who hasn't spoken a word since seeing his father killed by the mayor - strive to live off the land in peace. Their innocence is shattered, however, when a group of hunters led by the mayor's 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.

The Worst Film Ever
Sorry, this movie sucks
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The director's last name is eponymous with what this movie should have been called: Blunder. The cinematography is decent, hence the one star. Probably the most interesting thing about this film is watching the grass grow faster than the pace of this movie. I think it's an attempt at being artistic which fails miserably. Poor script. No dialogue in the attempt to be artsy. In fact, I thought that multiple actors in this had a condition that prevented them from talking except in single words once in a blue moon. Even the addition of gratuitous violence still left the grass growing as the best part of this film. Don't stick around for the harvest!
Beauty and crudeness, soft and hard, good and evil, innocence and corruption, determination and fear, delivered in all aspects of this film. The antithesis is there in both the scenery and the characters' growth.The cinematography is stunning. The acting is great by everyone, the leading actress being the one standing out.From a filmmaking point of view, we have such a great idea and the execution was good enough to make it run but neither strong nor poetic enough to make it fly. This failure to launch is the reason I gave it no more than 7 out of 10 stars.
Personally I looked at the name of the movie & figured it was a Horror movie of sorts - I was wrong(or was I). In a word, one may say this movie is "Deep", but I think it was a waste of valuable time. The very first scene leaves one wondering.. and by the very last scene, one is still not quite sure what just happened (& if one has a higher IQ, one may have postulated so many theories which may lead one to frustration). The 'leading lady' did stupid things which resulted in bad consequences.. The bad guys behavior was inconsistent. This is one movie, wherein YOU can speak in the cinema & no-one would "shhh" you for it, because words are a welcome addition to any movie in the 21st century! Okay, so its set in a rather secluded, mountainous area & if a brother & sister had no-one but themselves as friends/family, they should know each other well enough to not have to speak all the time (I get it)... BUT IF I WANT PEACE AND QUITE, I WON'T GO TO THE CINEMA!! ~One
I think the direction on this movie shows just as much creative genius, if not more, than Steven Spielberg's first movie "Jaws".The tonal values and the color is off the charts. Knowledge and use of light in this movie is unsurpassed - your ability to reach just past the limits of the Dynamic Range of your camera - on the high end and the low end is beautiful.The ability to say soooo much with so few words in a script is just past excellent.Don't know if I would want to watch it if the story line was any more intense than this was.The pieces of the story fit together seamlessly at the end of the movie.I think everyone was able to relate to the characters (in a good way or a bad way) in the movie. This is not an easy thing to do with such a small written script.I believe that one of the most important things in a good movie is a well written (re- written) script - In this case I would say that the director wrote (very well) most of the script with the camera.
