      steve d The script isn't good enough to make it work. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A subtle, creepy, and fun horror/thriller, Death Valley is a cool film, with an always great performance from Mchattie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The kid from "A Christmas Story" is in this horror flick...the movie doesn't disappoint! The acting was good, not really good or great, but it worked. It's one of those films you don't really hear about and when you see it for the first time, it's such a nice surprise. Check this one out if you like horror films. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This is something I've always been curious about and never had a chance to get into until the Shout Factory Blu-ray release. A very watchable little slasher/thriller, with an interesting twist on the setting. Well worth checking out if you're like me and have put it off for this long. Rental! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The film gets a split vote, where I admired its crafted thrills and moments of suspense, the pace is inconsistent and the very beginning could've easily been edited out. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Why somebody thought cute little Peter Billingsley's acting chops were enough to carry 80 minutes of supposed suspense, I'll never know. Shots and entire scenes linger on him for a curiously long amount of time yet we never feel like he's ever truly in danger defeating the entire purpose.

      Bill Warren Starburst Death Valley is pretty tame stuff... a stalk-and-slash movie made by people who were wary of really making a stalk-and-slash film. Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Charles Webb MTV Ultimately, Death Valley is a curiosity more interesting for its cast than anything actually on the screen. Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Matt Brunson Creative Loafing Director Dick Richards has fashioned a perfectly serviceable thriller that unfortunately becomes derailed by both an extended -- and ludicrous -- climax as well as an increasingly silly performance by McHattie. Rated: 2/4 Jan 17, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
