The music was done with a jackhammer and a chainsaw. I think the chorus was on strike so they used leaf blowers. Turn the sound way down and muddle through. If you miss any dialog you will not be missing anything. Terrible background music.The movie has a decent plot. The actors are attractive and they are able to act well enough. The direction and editing are poopy. There are too many shots that try to be artsy like the hilltop sunset scene from Gone With The Wind. There are a few good scenes from time to time.There are some good plot turns. Not many. You can count them on the fingers that get chewed off along the way. this is not a good Western and not a good Zombie Movie. It also fails as a Musical, big time.This one does not have a "Kill da wabbitt" moment. It bounces here and there in a way that suggests the script blew away in the wind and someone forgot to number the pages so they picked up each page and filmed it and stuck it together.It is not horrible. It is watchable. The actors are good and should have been given a better film to work with. This could have been a grade A film in the right hands with a different director and editor and some OK mood music here and there.
While traveling in a van with their teacher for a contest, a group of college friends are abducted in a lonely road by the criminal Earl (Gregory Bastien), who forces them to go to the ghost town of Sunset Valley to meet his partner that was transporting drugs and money of their own. Once in the town, they realize that the dwellers are zombies and their leader is the evil Bloody Bill (Jeremy Bouvet), a Confederate soldier seeking revenge for the execution of his sister that was hanged by the population that was cursed by Bloody Bill for the eternity."Death Valley: The Revenge of Bloody Bill" could have funny lines and situations but it is too serious for a zombie movie. Further, the zombies move very fast, breaking the style originally adopted by George Romero in "Night of the Living Dead" and followed in other films of this genre. The story is predictable and the characters are forgettable, but the worst is the total lack of humor. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "Vale da Morte: A Vingança de Bloody Bill" ("Death Valley: The Revenge of Bloody Bill")
Basically this whole movie can be summarized in ONE sentence: "Okay, better get going now...why aren't you leaving???????" I see others had the same "WTF's" has I had, so I don't feel so bad about this review: 1.) The whole beginning sequence was laughable, it reminded me of that Simpson's commercial "Canyonero" for their SUV.2.)I just laughed when they had the music playing over the cop's radio talking.3.) What is this supposed to be a very sad commentary on our State Troopers? That first of all, she wouldn't get him to get OUT of his car before showing her badge? And that one on one with absolutely nothing else around you could STILL lose your suspect.4.) They just got Civil War re-enactors to be the extras, right? 5.) Its 28 Days Later in the Old West.6.) The credits went for around an hour, I think. House of 1000 corpses fan much? 7.) If this IS an attempt to comment about slavery and race relations, why did they make the one "carjacker" in the entire desert a coked-up black guy with a gun? 8.) His gun changed a few times, semi, handgun, revolver...9.) Some of the slow motion action scenes were tailor made for Conan's Walker Lever.10.) The people turning into zombies was very reminiscent of the Return of the Living Dead movies, but without the campiness or originality.11.) Ah yes, our new sort of hero: Coked Up Guy!!! 12.) I agree- I think Bloody Bill DOEs look like Mad Dog Tannen (Back to the Future 3), the McDonald's moon-man and William Sadler as the Grim Reaper (Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey).13.) When "Eric" set off the grenade, why did smoke come out of only the top floor window, when it was blown off ground level? 14.) Bloody Bill apparently didn't have to do that much. He spent 95% of his time simply standing there.15.) Gwen sensed something was wrong with the "Eric" in cowboy attire coming towards them, yet she continued to simply stand there, why? 16.) Bloody Bill can tele-transport from place to place- so why didn't he locate himself into the little tiny room they were hold up in? 17.) The end was a total ripoff of the Friday the 13th's, when someone pretended to be Mrs. Voorhees at the end to track the bad guy.Basically I found myself asking everybody Didn't JUST LEAVE!!!
This is the most idiotic horror i've seen lately. Actors are absolute talentless teens and the big drug dealer seems to be at his very first movie, without any reversals. Please, movie makers, spare us these embarrassing productions. I do not recommend this, except to psychopathic little children =)). Extremely low budget, almost no plot (the entrance of Darrel is forced somehow, ... he was hitch hiking and suddenly he is in the middle of the action...). Well, the music was the only good thing about it. Oh, and what's with the "renoir" golden light on everything. To me - at least - golden doesn't inspire terror, but a heavenly atmosphere ... what were they thinking ? Seen session 9 ? GREEN IS THE COLOUR PPL !
