Death Valley

Just a Decent B movie for start.

I usually don't like B movies, most are just so so bad it hurts my brain sells, but his one tried to add some action and story.

But, still... very mediocre acting and action, somewhat confusing story, but there is a story, most like in every B movies there are stock free sounds or cheap sound and audio, also audio problems with that, some scenes are loud you can't hear ppl talk, guns are so loud also, you just cant heard the background and audio etc etc ... audio balance in this movie not so good.

But overall a decent movie still, you can see they at least try to make something.

If you have nothing else to watch or do. Yea go see this for fun and giggles.

Another instantly forgettable addition to the small horror/Sci-Fi niche of "send in the military cannon fodder" movies. What is that? You might be surprised just how many low-keyed movies there exist dealing with random military men (and women) being sent into a top-secret and geographically remote government research facility or underground lab to eliminate some sort of experiment that went horribly wrong. As a matter of course, these people haven't got a clue what they will be battling against and, regardless of their intense training and superior skills, they get mercilessly ripped to pieces by something (usually an alien or a genetic experiment) much stronger and slimier than them.

"Death Valley" is a new (2021) movie, but it doesn't bring any fresh or innovative elements to the already long overdue formula. Quite the contrary, the film features the same old clichés and dire stereotypes that were already introduced in the foundational landmarks of the genre; - like "Aliens", "Predator", and "Resident Evil". The noble soldier promising to his pregnant wife this will be his last mission, the jolly & joking brother-in-arms, the buffooned Russian mercenaries as opponents, the rescued scientist holding back a few dark secrets, etc. Etc. The plot twists, turns, and becomes unnecessarily complex towards the finale, but whatever. Nobody pays attention to the plot in films like these. I liked the monster, which looked to me like the illegitimate offspring between the Chattermouth cenobite from the original "Hellraiser" and the eyeless creature from "Pan's Labyrinth". Other than that, not much special.

This movie suffers from cringe-enducing dialogue, subpar acting by a lot of the characters, and way way too much slow motion during action scenes. In short would not waste your time on this.

Leon Kennedy and his team is sent in to rescue a female scientist in an underground bunker. They are ambushed and only Leon and his partner Junior survives. The bunker is filled with zombies and monsters created from human Dna. Will they survive once again and stop the evil Umbrellas plans?

Ok.. its NOT a Res Evil movie but could have been. Everything from the cheesy oneliners to the monsterdesign breathes Res Evil.

A pretty lowbudget affair but cool monsters and a quick pace.

You could do worse then this.

The description of the film for the pitch meeting probably went something like this: a monster in an underground laboratory / bunker hunts and kills mercenaries.

We've seen this formula a million times before. There's nothing here that particularly stands out. Play this film in the background for an hour thirty minutes of generic fun while you do something else more productive.
