Death Valley on AllMovie

A weekend of fun turns into a violent spree in this independent thriller. A group of four friends head into the California desert for a two-day rave being held at a remote location. A night of music, dancing and hallucinogens turns sour when one of the party, Josh (Eric Christian Olsen), is laid low by some bad drugs and the foursome crosses paths with a gang of thugs led by Dom (Dash Mihok). Dom and his buddies make short work of the ravers, leaving one dead and another seriously injured, and skinny Dan (Rider Strong) is no match for the hoodlums. Josh, however, is made of stronger stuff and isn't about to go home without giving Dom and his cohorts a taste of their own medicine. The first feature film from directors David Kebo and Rudi Liden, Mojave received its world premiere at the 2004 Los Angeles Film Festival.
