Death Valley: The Revenge of Bloody Bill

why are zombies running now? must we break all rules? anyway...this movie has a horrible script...period. Also the camera work and editing were wayyy off. the zombies looked OK but bill looked like he was wearing a Halloween mask. People are talking about good gore in this film. WRONG. Good gore can be found in the Living Dead series...this my friend is horrible gore. I did kind of like the eating of the hand part but it was shot in such a weird way. i give the writers and the director a little credit just because this is a rather knew idea. There really is only so far you can take a zombie flick but these guys managed to give it a different spin. Still...that can't save such a horrible film and a half crap horror film. Watch it for originality but don't buy it or spend any money on it. If you find some homeless dude asleep in the alley clutching a copy of death valley...it might be worth the steal...but i warned you.

I rented this from Blockbuster because I could get 3 films for 7 nights for £5. The other 2 were Dead End and Black Knight (I wanted to see some cheesy goldmines). Black Knight and Dead End are cheesy goldmines which made me laugh so I thought £5 well spent until I saw this steaming pile! Truly awful! I honestly believe the guy who did this could'nt direct traffic never mind a film. Please no more - you've had your chance. First of all the music was terrible and boring. The opening sequence my girlfriend fell asleep to. The zombies looked terrible. That Chelsea Jean girl was possibly the worst actress ever. The only decent part was watching the awful characters getting picked off. We cheered when they got it. I only gave it a 3 because of the fact it was on for little over an hour which meant I didn't have to suffer for much longer. I'm handing it back to Blockbuster tomorrow where I will complain that it should be them paying me to watch this tripe!

Hi all

I watched this film after reading one review on IMDb, and it was a terrible mistake, this has to be one of the worst films i have ever seen, and i've seen a lot.

this film suffers from not only bad acting, continuity errors and severe dullness, but also from a terrible plot...

don't get me wrong, i like bad movies, they can be entertaining but this only raised about 1 minutes worth of grins out of a possible 88, when you consider that a movie like Versus ( jap ) did a really good job of a new twist on the zombie genre (kung fu, reincarnation, big guns, a runt, sunglasses etc) on I presume a similar budget , then there is no excuse for this badly edited, badly paced, badly acted pile of tripe.

some of the zombie make up is awful, well in fact all of it is, Bloody Bill looks like a s***e version of Nemesis from Resident Evil in a cowboy suit, in fact i'm so choked with bile from the thought of this awful flick i'm gonna go to bed and dream of Versus , Demons, that zombie/mummy flick set at a wedding in Egypt, that managed to be half decent well imagined films despite having a fairly low budget.

Do not bother with this film!!!

My review for Death Valley: The Revenge Of Bloody Bill? I made it all the way through and it didn't stink. An unusual zombie concept (an old prospector seeking revenge from beyond the grave in a western ghost town) with an engaging score (for those who like death metal), the best thing that can be said is the movie kept me interested. Also, the acting wasn't horrible. But the script was amateurish, the dialogue was weak, the logic (that is, horror movie logic) was uneven and some of the camera shots were way too gimmicky (except for the flashbacks; those were cool). There are a lot of things that could have been done - simple things - to make it a much better movie: i.e, why is it one of the students trapped in the town knows the whole legend about Bloody Bill and yet none of the others, his friends, have even heard of it at all? Also, why does the little "population" count on the town sign keep ticking up after people are killed, but does not tick down for the zombies that have been destroyed? Niggling problems, but bothersome. Still, it was not the worst zombie movie I have ever seen - that distinction goes to House of the Dead, Flesheater, Children of the Living Dead, or Zombie Lake (take your pick).

I've waded through lots of zombie movies trying to find some good ones.And since Romero has only made 5 there aren't very many good ones among the loads of stinkers out there.This one was one of the worst pieces of homemade garbage I've seen yet in my quest to find good zombie movies.

A group of what look to be mostly 20 year olds set off in a van on what I think was a going to a trip to a debating contest.Along the way they get hijacked by a dope dealer who is trying to find his partner who has disappeared out in the Arizona landscape somewhere.Anyway the group tracks the dope dealer to a ghost town in the middle of nowhere.Shortly after arriving the kids are attacked by the missing dope dealer who is all bloody and talks kinda funny.

So immediately one of the debaters starts rattling off about the legend of Bloody Bill,a confederate solider ,who ended up out west after the war was over.Legend has it that Bill swore revenge on the town-folk who had killed him for bad stuff he did in the war.How they linked the wounded dope dealer up to Bloody Bill so quick was sort of glossed over and the kid who knew all the details was obviously and painfully reading his lines as we watched flashbacks of how Bill came to be.

Anyway the town soon becomes alive with Bill's zombies who run from one old building to another ,as do the kids,in what sometimes looks like a Benny Hill chase scene without being anywhere near as entertaining.All we needed was "Yakety Sax" as background music.

Speaking of music this film had one,what I took to be,death metal song with idiotic lyrics that was played over and over and over.But really so much was wrong with this film it isn't hardly worth mentioning it all.The zombies were those kind that were just sort of halfway done, no well done zombie make up here. In the flesh eating scenes,which there are very few, we see the cheapo looking rubber stuff instead of the real looking latex standing in for human flesh.In one scene a grenade goes off downstairs but in the shot outside we see the blast and smoke coming out an upstairs window.

One guy runs around and around trying to escape the zombies but all the while keeps one hand on his Kenny Chesney looking cowboy hat to keep from losing it.No one in this film could act their way out of a wet paper bag.The plot and script were terrible and the special effects were as crappy as any I've seen.

In short,this whole mess looks exactly like what it is.....a bunch of lame asses making a zombie movie without one single shred of talent whatsoever.It turns out looking like the homemade junk that it is.

Hey I only paid a buck for this thing at Wal-Mart and I wish I had my dollar back.Yeah it was that bad.
