Miracle Valley

Had so much fun with this movie! You may be watching it coming off the Room/Tommy W. Buzz, and if so that's great. But, you will be so surprised at what your getting. Greg S and Angie M bring such a fun delivery and Louisa surprised us all with her character twist. We watched it with friends and it was so much fun to experience the unexpected kills and the crowd laughing thrills!

Greg Sestero brings us his directorial debut with Miracle Valley. This time around the man we all know from The Room jumps into the indie horror world and nails it! As a fan of horror this film hit all the right buttons. I love the set up of the story with a group of friends deep in Arizona which leads to a wild 3rd act that will have you wanting more! See this film with a group of friends if you can.

This movie should be subtitled "Sestero's Folly". Where to begin? The script is ridiculous and has enough plot holes to drive a Mack truck through. There is zero character development. It's not scary. There are a few jump scares and some undeserved gore toward the end. Most of the actors are first-timers and boy, does it show. This movie is not "so bad - it's good". It's "so bad - it's awful". And, as a protagonist, Michael Myers in Halloween Kills, has more range and ability to convey emotion than Greg Sestero does. Sestero can seriously be outacted by a block of wood. The direction is competent but boring. I gave it two stars because its Arizona and Fallingwater settings were pretty. Please, Tommy or whoever is financing Sestero's film dreams, please stop!! And, Greg Sestero, just because you can (make a full-length movie), doesn't mean you should.

Miracle Valley is the first movie directed by Greg Sestero who has also written the script and acted in this film. This refreshingly simple horror movie revolves around an occult cult that kidnaps unsuspecting victims to find perfect blood types for sinister experiments.

This directorial debut by Greg Sestero qualifies as a good horror film. The movie is tense from start to finish and keeps viewers interested until the dramatic resolution. This film has a chilling atmosphere that gradually increases throughout the film. The locations have been chosen with care and combine beautiful landscapes with sinister buildings.

The most notable flaw of this film are the restrained acting performances. Lead actress Angela Mariano offers stylish looks but few acting skills. Greg Sestero has delivered the goods in the directing and writing departments but fails to get viewers attached to his role in the movie. Rick Edwards incarnates an antagonist who is portrayed so exaggeratedly that he almost becomes a grotesque caricature. If the actors and actresses involved in this film had been more dedicated, experienced and talented, Miracle Valley might have qualified as one of the greatest old-school horror films in recent years.

As it is now, Miracle Valley still qualifies as a good horror movie going back to the style of American horror cinema of the sixties and seventies in particular. This movie convinces with a decent script that is partially based upon true events, fitting locations enhancing the flick's vibes and a grippingly chilling atmosphere that increases steadily throughout the film. Horror movie genre fans and cineasts interested in Greg Sestero's career should certainly give this film a chance.

Culty, ridiculous, funny and entertaining. It follows a couple who plan a vacation in an Arizonian desert. They are magically joined by another couple who give more of a back story to the two main characters. The couple are then stalked and seduced by a blood cult., while searching for a mysterious silver hawk. The trouble starts after they come in contact with the leader of the cult, where infidelity, death and disease ensue.
