Death Valley (1982)
Horror/Thriller Rated R
Plot
A divorced mother, her young son and her new boyfriend set out on a road trip through Death Valley and run afoul of a local serial killer.
Acting
Paul LeMat, Catherine Hicks, Stephen McHattie, and Wilford Brimley are all effective in their role, but the most notable cast member is a pre-Christmas Story Peter Billingsley.
Gore
A slit throat and axe to the chest.
Sex/Nudity
A women is topless as she get felt up and eventually killed.
Final Thoughts
Its a slow moving story, and it definitely focus more on the suspense/thriller elements then the slasher horror one. The story however is a fairly good one, and coupled with the superb cast, manages to keep the views interest enough to make it an enjoyable experience. Worth watching for a more well made, less bloody slasher flick.
