i be remind while watch death valley represent the revenge of bloody bill on the sci fi channel something george a. romero say recently about certain new horror director represent they shoot faith hill last music video and and they think theyre hot s. do they know how to handle it . no and they do not . put em at an edit table and and theyre clueless . although byrum werner ( maybe the cool name for an exploitation director and i will admit ) probably hasn not do a faith hill video and the comparison can still apply . werner shouldn not be direct anything remotely relate to celluloid and from see the catastrophe that be bloody bill and a he try to compensate for a rote and crappy script with much bad tyle . maybe it a personal thing and but it a pet peeve for me when a director use a specific tint for a purpose that be completely ancillary and where it more about call attention to itself than serve any meaningful stylistic choice ( spielberg may be the only one who can get away with it ) . in this case and werner use it to the point of total madness and and not good madness represent the tint be actually a lot of the time just on the top part of the frame and make it a foolish distraction . this go without say that the whole color scheme in general and whether apply by werner himself a dp or in post and be annoy because it make it obvious that he doesn not trust anything regard the actual space be use and or maybe use some natural light or shadow to make atmosphere and instead of splash on this crude red often in a blurred vision ( focus . i scream more than once ) . don not even get me start on the edit in many instance and where random montage and action be cut a if by an epileptic puppy . the story itself be rote anyway represent a bunch of teen rid out in the desert get car jacked ( . ) by a black guy who lead them to the ghost town of sunset valley and overrun by ( usually ) run zombie lead by bloody bill and who have a vendetta against someone do wrong by someone and blah blah blah . point be and a lot of this and however just totally ludicrous it all sound ( bloody bill a confederate no yankee or black after all ) and could just be moot if it be at least a halfway decently act or technically executed effort . it not and at all . watch death valley be like get a checklist for thing that could possibly go wrong for a movie and do and over and over again . the music be fourth rate metal garbage on loan from the boy who have be practice in the garage next door while the performance be from nobodys ( gregory bastian go to lengths to be a bad as mutha and but be one of the most ineffectual i have see in recent memory ) and this include bloody bill actor who be barely on screen at all while the gore and violence be direct amateurishly and with tomato sauce blood and eye liner use for added effect during the transformation from live to dead while even the production design and with the sign change from time to time from 99 to 107 from start to finish be cheesy in an unforgivable way . it work only up to a completely ironic point while make sure you have get the right friend and good booze lie around and it should make for a chummy saturday night movie . but good lord and do not go into it expect any semblance of an entertaining b horror movie . it drek of the shlockiest order and and i would have to be pay more than the actor themselves be ( if they be that be ) to sit through it again .
