About This Movie

Blood River is a gritty, atmospheric TV movie that captures the raw tension of revenge and survival.

The film meanders through expansive mountain landscapes, enhancing that feeling of isolation and desperation. There are moments of reflective pacing which give space to the weight of Jimmy's choices. Performances are solid, especially from the older trapper character who serves as a kind of reluctant mentor.
