REinvent International Sales has scored several deals across its slate at the American Film Market, including “River of Blood,” “Together 99” and “Second Victims.”

Directed by Howard J. Ford, “River of Blood” is a psychological horror film charting the epic journey of four kayakers who take the wrong river into a jungle inhabited by a tribe of merciless cannibals.
