Proof that the Great White North has its own brand of cinematic sleaze.

Programmer's Pick

Dorothy Stratten's rare screen appearance makes Autumn Born a curiosity, but it's the mix of sleazy 'school of discipline' set pieces and inheritance-plot nastiness that gives this Canadian oddity its edge. Come for the notorious Playmate casting, stay for the parade of bared flesh and grimy power plays.

Quick Answer

Autumn Born is a 1979 Canadian drama directed by Lloyd A. Simandl about a wealthy young woman who is kidnapped, brainwashed, and subjected to mental and physical torment by those seeking control of her inheritance.

Synopsis

A rich brat is kidnapped and brainwashed in this Canadian made sexploitation film. Tara (Playmate Dorothy Stratton) comes from a wealthy family and is a bit spoiled. She ends up getting kidnapped and thrown into a small room. Shes mentally, physically and sexually tortured to break her will. The main tormentor is a woman who, at one point, helps Tara take a bath. The reason for all this is a greedy uncle who wants to control Taras inheritance. In one of only a handful of films she made, the doomed, Stratton is amateur in her acting but beautiful to look at. Plenty of scantily clad moments and nudity. Others have noted that it kind of plays like a 70s porn film but without the explicit sex scenes.
