One of the teens Tope (Evan Rachel Wood) is immediately attracted to these charms and invites Harlan along to the beach A whirlwind romance follows much to the chagrin of Tope (short for October) father Wade (David Morse) who senses there is more to Harlan than meets the eye Indeed things begin to unravel when Harlan lies about borrowing a horse from a local rancher that leads to a threat at gunpoint To make matters worse Harlan ingratiates himself more by spending time with Tope attention-starved younger brother Lonnie (Rory Culkin) Eventually as more of the dangerous demons beneath Harlan charming veneer reveal themselves action must be taken and justice meted out Old West-style At times tense and alternatively quiet DOWN IN THE VALLEY features some creative camera work from cinematographer Enrique Chediak that fits both moods Also be on the look-out for a scene-long quotation from TAXI DRIVER"
