Crow Valley

Crow Valley (2022) is an Australian movie that I recently watched on Prime. The storyline follows a mountain biker riding a trail in Crow Valley when a car hits him in what appears to be a hit and run and he wakes up in a bed in a strange house. He initially thinks he's saved from his circumstances but everything isn't as it appears.

This movie is produced, written, directed by and stars Josh Conn, in his only major motion picture project. This also stars Nicole Freeman (Mental), Jessica Leaming (Winners & Losers) and Isabella Tognon (The Last Summer).

This has a made for television feel to it with mediocre writing and dialogue that is painful. The best part of the movie is the accents. The horror elements were weak and they needed more intense scenes, like Misery. The wounds in this are well made and there's some splashes of gore when characters get injured, but not enough to make this a worthwhile movie. This is one of those movies you're okay if everyone dies, the good and bad guys, and you really don't find yourself rooting for the victim or villain.

Overall, this is a poor addition to the horror genre that's not worth your time. I would score this a 2.5/10 and recommend watching Misery instead.
