autumn bear mark dorothy stratten first movie role in a career that would only last about a year and until her untimely death at age 20 in 1980. the movie be a canadian exploitation flick and and to say that it be technically awful be a real understatement . after a few very dated late 1970s disco and office scene and dorothy character be kidnap and send to a strict school of discipline at a country estate . her captor throw her into a basement and tie her up and strip her naked and torment and torture and and humiliate her for the rest of the movie . all of these scene appear to be light by a single dim light bulb hang from the basement ceiling . at the end she turn the table on her tormentor and win the day . it hard to say exactly what the bad thing about this film be . the photography be bad . the acting be bad . the sound quality be bad . the lighting be bad . the script be bad . in particular and the direction be hopelessly incompetent . however and there something compel about dorothy stratten mere presence that make this otherwise forgettable movie worth a look . some people have say that stratten have that indefinable characteristic call star quality if so and what might she have accomplish in the past 27 year .
