If anyone lives in the UK, this film is regularly shown on TCM. And it isn't a horror film; that poster makes it look several times more exciting and edgy than it really is.
Its about American university students in the late 60s / early 70s who spend most of their time lying around, listening to twee 60's music and talking naively about how radical and counter-cultural they are; which is all either very annoying or charmingly innocent depending on your point of view. The dialogue is very naturalistic (i.e., quiet) and the cinematography is tinged with beige, which it gives it an odd, dreamy quality. Overall, its fairly dull yet I have an inexplicable fondness for it.
I won’t spoil the ending, but its based on a real life incident as detailed in Neil Young's Ohio (I think?).
By the way, I've never seen the Death Valley '69 video, so I can't answer that.
