My Bloody Valentine 3-D Review

Hello Horror fans,

I just got back from seeing "My Bloody Valentine 3-D" and it was a gory fun time that took me back to the "Friday the 13th" films of my youth.

I have not seen the original "My Bloody Valentine" that was released in 1981. So this review will not offer any comparisons with the original.

Tom returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine's night massacre that claimed the lives of 22 people. However, it seems that the specter of Harry Warden, the coal miner that caused the massacre 10 years earlier, has risen complete with miner's mask and pic-axe, to wreck more bloody havoc.

I was too young to see the 3rd Friday the 13th film in theaters, it came out in 1982 when I was 8, but I always thought it would be cool to see a horror movie in 3-D. As soon as I heard that a remake of "My Bloody Valentine" was being released in 3-D, I knew I had to check it out.

The acting in this film was very good, I also liked the fact that the filmmakers decided to have a few Genre greats in the cast.

I am a huge fan of both Tom Atkins (Burke) and Kevin Tighe (Ben Foley). They are great character actors and both brought tremendous class to the film.

Jensen Ackles (Tom) did a good job in the film. He really did a good job of showing the pain and the isolation that the character feels.

Kerr Smith (Axel) played another dick, like he did in Final Destination, and again played it well. You really dislike him in the film.

Jamie King (Sarah) I felt was the strongest of the three leads. She did a great job showing a wide array of emotions.

Patrick Lussier turned in his best directing job. Previously known for editor on Wes Cravens Scream series and Dracula 2000, Lusier really set the mood from the opening frame. It was an eerie and at times cringe inducing. He also did a great job on building suspense.

The 3-D effects were great. The entire environment in the film was in 3-D and there were times where the high beam light on top of the killers helmet felt like it was reflecting on the audience. The action scenes were also top notch, when a kill happens let the splatter fly.

My Bloody Valentine 3-D rocked. It was a movie that was gory, scary and a hell of a lot of fun. This is something I think horror films have been sorely lacking as of late. Dreary horror films like "The Grudge II, Hostel films and The Messengers make films like Valentine a sight for sore eyes to this horror fan.

I have nothing bad to say about this film
