2.5 ⭐️ - It’s a bit slow. All of the characters are very unlikeable. I do like the juxtaposition of the current timeline with past time periods of other lives being affected by the valley. I just expected more for the plot. The beginning started out strong with a glimpse of the present and all the gore, but everything leading up to it was so frustratingly disappointing!
