Movie Reviews of My Bloody Valentine 3D (Two-disc special edition)
Movie Review: Part Slasher/Part Psychological Suspense, "My Bloody Valentine" Is Pure Horror
Summary: 5 Stars
"My Bloody Valentine" is an excellent remake. Its plot is similar to that of the original classic released in 1981, but is different enough to be enjoyed by fans of the original. The strong mystery element is still there, coupled with more violence and gore, enough to please modern fans of movies such as "Saw" and "Hostel."
The film's beginning explodes like dynamite. On Valentine's Day, Harry Warden and a group of other miners are trapped underground. When they are found, all are dead save for the comatose Warden who, it is later learned, murdered the others in order to conserve oxygen. Exactly one year later, Warden awakes from his coma and slaughters hospital staff along with a group of teens partying at the mine. This time he is killed in a cave in, or is he? Ten years later, the survivors of the massacre are being killed by a man wearing a miner's mask and carrying a pick ax. Has Harry Warden returned from the dead or is someone else carrying his pick ax, resuming his bloody quest for vengeance?
The acting from the leads was excellent. Jensen Ackles ("Devour") and Kerr Smith ("Final Destination") are great as Tom Hanniger and Axel Palmer, respectively. They are enemies who are both in love with the same woman, Sarah Palmer (Jaime King of "They Wait") The two men race to unmask the insane killer while the bodies pile up. Unfortunately, the killer is always one step ahead of them. The ending of the remake is very similar to that of the original. I was always upset that the original didn't have a sequel; maybe this one will.
"My Bloody Valentine" is highly recommended for collectors of great slasher fare. Lions Gate has exceeded my expectations in its release. The four pairs of 3-D glasses were inside a plastic bag and did not scratch my discs as others had complained. I watched the film on my computer, with all the lights turned completely off. The 3-D special effects were excellent, almost as good as if I was watching the film on the big screen. The 3-D definitely increased the level of the plot's horror and gruesomeness. One of the characters has an axe thrust upward into his throat and his jaws torn off. I cringed in disgust and nearly screamed as they came flying towards me. Gross!!!
Was buying the two discs with the extra features worth it? Yes, the deleted scenes answered questions I had while watching the edited version of "My Bloody Valentine." For example, Tom Hanniger tells the deputy that he saw him at the mine but I didn't remember seeing him. The deputy visits the mine in one of the deleted scenes. Also, there are deleted scenes involving the beginning of the film, prior to the slaughtering of the teens in the mine. The "making of" featurettes were interesting. They usually are for horror movies and action adventures. If you are a big fan of slasher fare, I recommend shelling out a few extra dollars for the extra disc. You may regret later on that you didn't.
Summary of My Bloody Valentine 3D (Two-disc special edition)
Ten years ago in the town of Harmony, an inexperienced coal miner caused an accident that trapped and killed five men and sent the only survivor, Harry Warden, into a coma. When Harry awoke, exactly one year later on Valentine?s Day, he wanted revenge and brutally murdered 22 people with a pickax before being killed himself. Now, after years of peace, something from Harmony?s dark past has returned. Wearing a miner?s mask and armed with a pickax, an unstoppable killer is on the loose. As his footsteps come ever closer, the townspeople realize in terror that it just might be Harry Warden who has found his way back.Similar DVD Movies
