Summary

Released in 1981, Death Valley is a crime, drama and horror film.

3,140 other films from the 1980s form the cohort it is ranked inside. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 33 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Only 29 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 29 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
