Phil Hoad of The Guardian rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Death Valley is never fully disturbing, but enjoyably gross is good enough."[1]
Michael Pementel of Bloody Disgusting gave the film a score of 3/5 and wrote, "In its riveting suspense and great science-fiction horror atmosphere, Death Valley is a wild time you don’t want to miss out on."[2]
Matt Donato of Paste gave the film a score of 5/10 and wrote that the film "isn’t memorable as a smash-and-grab, almost Doom-like standoff against undead biters", and that "There’s nothing narratively unique between Beckett’s one last hurrah before fatherhood, or humankind’s hubris, or the tightly-shirted Eastern European madmen we’ve seen hold innocents at gunpoint eleventy times before."[3]
