Movie Review: Death Valley (Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack)

Shout Factory’s Scream Factory label have made a big statement lately with their efforts in putting out some of the finer horror flicks produced in the 80’s and 90’s and giving them the red-carpet treatment on Blu-ray . One film that I’m quite happy to see available for the first time on Blu-ray is Dick Richard’s slasher flick Death Valley. I watched bits and pieces of Death Valley when it would pop up on HBO or cable back in the mid 80’s and it always creeped me out. Being a youngster at the time I never could finish it because the lead character was my age and was being hunted by a psycho-killer. I was so frightened of “Strange Danger” and all that bullshit little kids were fed that something like Saturday The 14^th was a better option. It’s a few decades later and I must say, I’ve watched it all the way through (with my security blanket) and Death Valley takes Stranger Danger to a whole level.
