<h2>Should you watch it?</h2>
So, now it&#8217;s the turn of the final question. Well, to help you decide, we&#8217;ve brought you some reviews of the film.
<a href="https://decider.com/2022/07/11/valley-of-the-dead-on-netflix-stream-it-or-skip-it/">Decider</a> reviews it as &#8220;It’s a confused satire that engages tropes more than it lampoons them.&#8221;
Whereas <a href="https://www.accioncine.es/reportajes/criticas/8842-malnazidos">Accioncine</a> says&#8211;&#8220;With a lot of humor and a lot of action, the film shows that there is no genre that we cannot face (zombie cinema gave several good samples of quality in the 70s for example) and that we can stand out thanks to our own history and personality. The directors know how to tell the story and make it our own, even though we have seen it a thousand times. It&#8217;s not surprising, but it&#8217;s incredibly entertaining and acidic.&#8221;

On the other hand, it has a 6/10 rating on <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10127708/">IMDb</a>. The movie does have a lot of elements to explore like politics. However, it lacks extreme gore and might feel underwhelming at times. You can watch it if you like zombies and hunters!
All in all, the film will remind you of the Army of Dead. It will be amusing to see how people in 1938 will tackle Zombies, between war and lack of resources. So, what are you waiting for? <a href="https://www.netflix.com/in/title/80208806">Stream</a> Valley of the Dead now!
