Death Valley (II) (2021)
10/10
Unexpectedly great
10 December 2021
I came across The Guardian's 3-star review of Death Valley earlier this week, and thought, "Why not?" But without any major funding partners or commercial support, I had low expectations. I'll admit, I may have pre-judged this film based on backing alone.

After watching ten minutes of this movie, I was hooked. Like The Guardian stated, it's not going to win an Oscar; but if there was a category for low-budget horror films, I'd put Death Valley up against anyone. Adjusting for the point spread, this film makes a lot of big titles look very, very bad.

Death Valley checks all the boxes for a fun Thursday night flick. Guns, monsters, planes, flame-throwers, zombies...but the storyline actually ties it all together to make it a worthwhile viewing. Kudos to Ninaber and his team for pulling of a fun -- and very watchable -- movie.

I don't usually like the horror genre, but this was more of a thriller flick, with just enough gore to tip the scales! If you come in with fair expectations, you will be majorly surprised, I promise.
