Though never a landmark in the slasher subgenre, the Canadian-made My Bloody Valentine (1981) was a favorite among gorehounds for its plentiful scenes of bloodshed; the 2009 remake sticks closely to the original in this respect, and ups the gross factor by rendering many of them in impressive 3-D. The core plot, penned by Todd Farmer and Zane Smith, remains essentially the same–a series of gruesome murders appears to be linked to a terrible mine accident from two decades ago–but just as with the original, its largely just a framework on which to string the carnage set pieces, which are splattery enough to please even the most jaded Saw or Hostel fanatic. The Real-D effects deliver the required degree of heart-stopping jumps without the usual eye strain, and if one can snicker away old standbys like a tree branch crashing through a windshield, one has to admire the chutzpah of presenting actress Betsey Rues pursuit of a wayward bed partner while fully naked and toting a shotgun in full and vibrant 3-D, moments before the pickaxe-wielding killer descends upon her. Rues scenery-chewing performance is the best of the twenty-something cast, which is led by Supernaturals Jensen Ackles and Jaime King; character actors Kevin Tighe and Tom Atkins deliver their moments like the old pros they are. Though by no means a new horror classic, My Bloody Valentine 3-D sets the gross-out bar for all future slasher remakes to surpass. — Paul Gaita
Customer Reviews & Opinions
Awsome Horror!! Great Gore…All in All A+
First I would like to start off by saying this movie was really good. Even better since I saw it in the theatres in digital 3D. Wow oh Wow to that!I am sick and tired of people always leaving bad reviews for horror movies only because they are remakes and they believe it is horrible. That is the only reason why people allow themselves to hate good horror because most horror movies anymore are remakes. STOP IDIOTS!!!
This movie to me was full of good acting and not predictable to me, because let me say sorry, I haven’t seen the original. So that didn’t ruin it for me! I love the Saw movie like surprise ending to it. The many ways people died in the movie…I will admit they happened before in other horror movies, but the way it happened was just totally great!
Like many people say…”oh this wasn’t scary”. It always depends on how jumpy you are and how your nerves are and how easily you get scared at things. So if you are not scared easily, you may think the movie reaks of horrible movie flick. If you scare easily…you will jump alot to this movie, like I did.
Possible mini type spoilers below…They don’t really give anything away though…so go right ahead!!!
Like every horror movie though…You will feel sad for one person…glad another died…they stay sterotypical and only allow two people to live…and….Make sure you watch the whole entire disc…by that I mean there is a surprise after the credits.
