Movie Review - The Dark Valley (2014) Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★
A mysterious stranger arrives in a snow capped Austrian mountain village
claiming to be a travelling photographer from America, yet is in fact
an embittered gunfighter on a mission of vengeance.
Reviews :
A great
Western, even though the plot is set in a mountain village in Bum-screw
Bavaria(In-bred Appalachia equivalent.) Great acting and a believable
story if you think about how weird shit probably happened in the days
before running water and Mini-Marts. Seriously, though, this is worth
your time if you like a good Western revenge story.
The lead actor, Sam Riley, and lead actress, Paula Beer, who is a real babe, more than carry the story, they keep it moving and then some. I could see Sam Riley doing the remake of "Then Came Bronson." Paula Beer, besides being my favorite beverage, is someone I will look forward to seeing in more movies.

I don't
normally like anachronistic music in period pieces, but it seemed to fit
the mood. Particularly in a shootout scene with the brothers toward
the end. Powerful scene that stuck with me. Loved the cinematography.
The story itself is reminiscent of Pale Rider. Mysterious stranger on a
mission of revenge.
Think I would enjoy it better with subtitles to catch the nuance in the actual language. 4 stars for well done story, direction, acting. Only flaw, and not really much of one, was the lack of explanation as to why the brothers thought they had the advantage in the shootout scene. I caught that he had a repeating rifle.
