Grade: A-
MTV’s new horror-satire “Death Valley” is a twisted combination of “Reno 911” and “The Twilight Saga” with more fake blood. The storyline focuses on the takeover of the San Fernado Valley by vampires, werewolves and zombies. The police department’s Undead Task Force (UTF) tries to contain these monsters as a camera crew mimicking the style of reality TV. “Death Valley” is clearly a spoof on the undead, the classic cop stereotypes and the popularity of reality TV. This show is drenched with humor as the lackluster UTF deals with crimes like prostitution busts that involve vampires selling sex for blood. Death Valley is bloody funny and seems to have a promising season for viewers to sink their teeth into.
