Death Valley

Decent action horror film about a rescue team who's sent on a mission to help an imprisoned scientist in a secret research facility. The mission goes sideways and they find themselves hunted down by a terrifying creature of unknown origin. The film borrows a few elements from other films, leaning more towards action than horror and it clearly doesn't try to reinvent the wheel but it has good production value, fun setting, and cool practical effects to get you invested. As far as plots go, it's pretty straightforward. What bothers me is the creature shows up way too early. Also I feel like everything's happening too fast that you don't have enough time to get to know the characters more. At times the film doesn't make good amount of sense and some areas needed more tension. Those problems aside, it hits some notes successfully and I still enjoyed it for the most part.
