Das Finstere Tal (in English, The Dark Valley) is a 2014 Austro-German film starring Sam Riley. It was chosen to represent Austria in the Foreign-Language Film category of the 2014 Academy Awards.A mysterious American stranger called Greider arrives in a tiny Tyrolean village in the Austrian Alps to take photographs of the people and landscape. He rents a room from a widow and her daughter, and soon discovers the dark secret haunting the town: it is under the thrall of the powerful and sadistic Brenner family, consisting of six brothers and their father, who exercise Droit du Seigneur on all the women of the village and routinely terrorize the villagers for no reason other than petty villainy. But Greider has secrets of his own, including how he speaks German so well for a foreigner... | |

Kick the Son of a Bitch: When Greider finally has a showdown with Brenners, he knee-caps the one who force-feed him a schnapps and was established throughout the entire film as the most unstable and brutal of the entire clan. When remaining brothers hide behind trees, he instead fires another non-lethal shot on the knee-capped one to torment him and force the remaining Brenners to show their faces. | |

Face Death with Dignity: The Old Brenner embraces his execution, but then you realise he lived his entire life as the master of his valley and would die due to natural cause in short time anyway, basically making the revenge a moot point. | |

Snowed-In: Once snow blocks the mountain passes leading to it, the valley is completely cut off from the outside world during winter. It's part of the reason why the Brenners can maintain their rule and also what Greider counts for when he starts hunting them one by one - there is nowhere to escape. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Old Brenner seems distraught by the deaths of his sons, and some of those sons have wives and children of their own, although their reaction to Old Brenner's death is ambiguous, and they may have been just as subject to the family's depravities as the rest of the valley. | |

Ambiguous Time Period | |
| Das Finstere Tal / int_7eb2bc15 | comment |
Ambiguous Time Period: The movie can be set anywhere in the second half of the 19th century. A lot of elements give it an anachronistic look, being either too late or too early for any given year. It technically happens anywhere after 1875, since that's the year stamped on the golden coin, but that makes the setting even more anachronistic. | |

Tyke-Bomb | |
| Das Finstere Tal / int_aabdf2c6 | comment |
Tyke Bomb: The Brenner "clan" is composed of half-brothers, all of whom are immature, violent brutes. Greider's mother raised him with revenge in mind. He grew up, trained himself with a rifle, crossed half the world to visit a forgotten Tyroleon valley and proceeds with executing every single Brenner still alive. | |

Town with a Dark Secret | |
| Das Finstere Tal / int_b02f996a | comment |
Town with a Dark Secret: The Brenners practice Droit du Seigneur on every girl in the village, and the first child in every family is a Brenner. Everyone in the village is in on it. | |

Bottomless Magazines | |
| Das Finstere Tal / int_b2cdd776 | comment |
Bottomless Magazines: Averted and subverted. The hunting guns are all double-barrel shotguns or single shot rifles, so they require constant reload. Greider's Winchester shots 10 times without reloading, but that's entirely within the magazine capabilities. | |

Make an Example of Them | |
| Das Finstere Tal / int_b4de919d | comment |
Make an Example of Them: For defying Brenners, Greider's father was tortured and his mother raped, both Forced to Watch. Then the father was crucified alive and his body was left there untreated until animals picked what was left of it. Years later, that cross is still standing at the entry to the valley.. | |

Mirror Character | |
| Das Finstere Tal / int_ba5bbda5 | comment |
Mirror Character: Greider and the Brenners. Greider's violence borders on the same sadism that the Brenners gleefully use to control the village. Given that Greider is actually another Brenner son, it's possible that this is Foreshadowing. | |

Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him?: Hand-waved that the Brenner brothers could try to rush Greider or hurt Luzi when he had them all at the gunpoint. Why he didn't after getting some distance is a mystery. | |

| Das Finstere Tal / int_d547fb | comment |
Surprisingly Good English: Given the main character's background (having grown up in Texas) and the actor that portrays him (who is British), the few lines of English dialogue are rather fluent. It's also justified in that Greider only speaks English when either panicked or agitated. | |

Bulletproof Human Shield: Greider hides behind the body of the youngest of the brothers. Everyone is sure he's dead already, after taking the bullet from under the chin. Turns out he was still alive, but his brothers killed him trying to hit Greider. | |

Didn't See That Coming | |
| Das Finstere Tal / int_dfa40c1b | comment |
Didn't See That Coming: Justified. The Brenner brothers never saw Winchester rifle before and Greider did his best to pretend it shoots only twice and needs a reload just like them. The face of the last Brenner brother as he looks at the barrel and Greider just reloads to dent him is precious. They also never assumed Grieder would be hiding under the floor, thus avoiding all their fire on his lodge. | |

Knee-capping: The mentioned above Brenner gets disabled as the first in the fight, by taking a shot into his knee. The resulting injury makes him unable to even drag himself away out of the pain and then takes another bullet for being the easiest target to hit. | |
