The level of creativity and technical skill required to make a short film this creepy and suspenseful on just $175 is astounding.
RACCOON VALLEY held my interest, made me nervous, and a couple of times, outright scared me -- not with jump scares, but with long, something-really-bad-is-going-to-happen scenes that skillfully ramp up anxiety and pull you to the edge of your seat cushion. Often, but not always, these scenes let you down easy while maintaining an inescapable sense of dread.
The lead actress, Terri Czapkeski, her face an expressionless mask, carries the film in spite of the dramatic limits inherent in her approach. She somehow conveys that her character feels fear without melodramatic mugging for the camera.
The idea of a lone, vulnerable, deaf female protagonist battling mortal danger isn't new. HUSH (2016) skillfully used the same device to drive its plot, but it hasn't been done to death, and hasn't been done exactly this way.
Overall, a very nice effort. On a $175 budget, a masterpiece.

Not a bad movie should have been longer. With more action in it I seen similar movies like this there's is some thing some people probably missed I didn't see it the first time watching it I may wach this again to see if I missed any thing.
I have gone through many low budget horror movies that are high school quality atmosphere and acting. This one is excellent on zero budget.
Well shot. I was scared around every corner. The sound scape was amazing. Well acted.
Budget was just about nothing. But it was very high quality. I wouldn't watch it again only because part of the entertainment was anticipating what would happen and why. There's no exciting action because it's about how the protagonist is dealing with what's happening. The only reason why I gave it a 5 was because it was too slow and was not a full story in my opinion. But I could see a fuller and longer revamp (if with the same writer, director etc) being rated much higher.
