WONDER VALLEY (2020)

Wonder Valley Movie Review

Four friends take a road trip, with the destination being a desert town called Wonder Valley. Once there, strange things happen. If you are a longtime reader, you may be thinking "Have you lost your mind, Josh? You already reviewed this movie", and for a good part of this film, I was thinking to myself "I swear I have already reviewed a movie called Wonder Valley, but this doesn't look familiar". Let me clear it all up for all of us--yes, I did indeed review a movie about four friends going to the desert town of Wonder Valley, and it was titled Wonder Valley, but this is an entirely different movie about four friends going to the desert town of Wonder Valley, and is also titled Wonder Valley.

"You're hurting my brain!"

This movie features four female friends. The lead chick is completely mental, one is completely deplorable, the two blondes are completely interchangeable, and all four are completely annoying. Once they arrive at the vacation home (which looks really cool), they take moonflowers, begin to hallucinate, then the rest is uneventful--it's pretty much up to you to decide if what you are seeing is really happening...if you care enough by this point. The acting is atrocious. There is Western themed music, which is fine, but it's the same few seconds on repeat, and played so loudly it's hard to hear what the characters are saying. There is nothing bordering on scary or suspenseful. If you have a love of the desert (as I do), you will enjoy the scenery and some of the shots, but honestly, there's nothing much more to this movie. Shot in 2017 but not released until 2020, this will be the first movie I have reviewed to get the 2020-2029 label...let's hope this decade's horror gets better.
