Lochlyn Munro was pretty good as Billy Rich, the main character, but the rest of these goofballs should be back bagging groceries by tomorrow--they were really horrible actors. Movie was obviously made on a shoestring budget--no location at all except the desert and a restroom inside a nightclub, but still, the cinematography was pretty good. I honestly have no idea how I made it through the entire movie, but to be honest, it's still got 8:12 to go and nothing at all could save it in the last 8 minutes. And again, to be honest, I didn't watch it straight through--I took a few breaks and paused it to do a little housework, cooking, web- surfing, etc. So now it's finally over--the ending is really, really ridiculous. SO melodramatic and goofy. You've got to wonder what they were thinking when they made this thing.

DEATH VALLEY is a very low budget little murder mystery which features just four actors filming in the desert and being recorded by a hand-held video camera. Films like this live or die depending on the script, but this one's not very interesting, unfortunately; the cod psychology and endless psychobabble between the characters is sleep-inducing rather than engaging. This was chiefly of interest for me for featuring two actors from one of my favourite TV shows, SPARTACUS, namely Katrina Law and Nick E. Tarabay, but they're both quite restrained. Elsewhere there's a Kelly Hu cameo and leading man theatricality from B-flick favourite Lochlyn Munro. It's really not very good.

a stupid ending. that's what this film has. a real stupid ending. we've seen this too many times before. a group of people get stuck out in the desert unprepared and un expectedly. how will the survive? who will survive? will they survive? there is not much here to hold your interest except for the two female leads. Katrina Law is a pretty hot number and so is her friend Victoria Pratt. they should hold your interest if you have testosterone in your blood. this film is cheaply made and looks like it had a budget of $100 total. how much could it cost to cast no name actors and film them in the desert for a day? it tries to be a character study on how people turn on each other in bad situations but it fails on that note. if you trust my review then you will save yourself 90 minutes of your life and avoid it.
