Movie Reviews of My Bloody Valentine
Movie Review: Bloody Good Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
Paramount pictures had been enjoying success with Friday The 13th, so why not strike while the iron is hot? My Bloody Valentine came out at the perfect time(though not to much financial success) in the slasher heyday. I saw it when I was 5, and thought it was very scary. Now I think it's just silly, but fun! Basically there's nothing new here if you've seen any slasher flicks before. It's just fun to see variations on the subject. This time it's a guy in a miner's outfit, which is actually one of the cooler looking psycho slasher getups. As far as plot goes-Horrible mining accident years back on Valentine's Day. Flash forward to 81 and the killer warns the town not to throw a Valentine bash or there will be hell to pay(even though he starts killing before Valentine's Day). The kids don't heed the warning, tra-la, tra-la. The killer hacks away at our partying kids, gets mixed up in industrial espionage and battles a team of bloodthirsty mutant whales. There's also a subplot of two guys fighting for the affections of our leading lady. Not scary, but fun in that slasher way. I watched this suffering a bad gas attack from a BBQ chicken pizza I had ate earlier for dinner, so it all had kind of a 3-D effect with the dark, stanky, damp mine scenes. As you'll read, the MPAA took a special interest in this film and cut down the gore. I have no idea why coz you wouldn't let your kid watch this anyway. But it's still enough to satisfy. It's no less gory than the later Friday the 13th films. Watch with someone you love.Movie Review: Sarah... will you be my bloody valentine.
Summary: 4 Stars
One of the better 80's slasher films. I remeber this film always being on the Movie Channel & HBO in February as a kid in the early 80's. The annual town Valentines day dance is banned in the mining town of Valentines Buff because 20 years ago the supervisors attended the dance while 5 miners died in a freak accident except Harry Warden. Harry was sent to a mental institution after this tragedy, 19 years later the local kids try to have the traditional dance on the first anniversary. The dance is stopped by a bloody heart being sent to them in a candy box. They decide to throw the party in the mine but someone doesn't like that idea. Not major gore but some creative ways people get killed involving boiling water, a pick axe, & a nail gun. The lead actors undying love for Sarah (female lead) is borderline scary obsession. The movie leads you to believe that you know the killer the whole time who is back for revenge but it throws you with a twisted surprise ending. One of my favorite 80's horror films & an essential viewing to 80's horror film genre fans.Movie Review: Halloween, Friday the 13th...and My Bloody Valentine
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are a fan of 80's slasher/horror films, this one should be in your collection. While not as good as Halloween or Friday the 13th, My Bloody Valentine still has many good things going for it. Unfortunately as many people have stated, there are cuts to the film so not as much gore or murders are actually seen, but if you enjoy your films just for the suspense factor alone, than you will be happy with this. The locations used for this film are great especially the creepy, isolated mine. However, it's your typical slasher horror fare so don't expect too many surprises. The Canadians have made some of the best horror films. Also check out Happy Birthday to Me, Prom Night, Terror Train and Curtains (unfortunately Curtains has not made it to DVD yet so you'll have to track down a VHS copy). 3.5 stars for this!Movie Review: Come on Paramount, wake up!
Summary: 4 Stars
This disc will definately be worth buying but only if Paramount release the uncut version. It's a classic slasher movie, better than most of the Friday the 13th sequels but was heavily cut when first released. I haven't really got much faith in Paramount as they are one of the worst DVD producers around. Look what they did to the Friday the 13th films: The same old butchered R rated versions and no extras except the trailers and it's very rare for a Paramount disc to have many extras, even classics like Apocalypse Now and Face/Off. Hopefully they will prove that they are not just fleecing us and release it uncut. More likely they'll wait until everyone has bought this version then re-release an unrated one. I would be very happy if Paramount prove me wrong.Movie Review: Great 80's Slasher ,SARA BE MY BLOODY VALENTINE~!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
"My Bloody Valentine" is what a slasher should be, it has horny teenagers a psycho wearing a mask and good death scenes.
Not overly gory but the kills are effective and its scary too , I love all slashers obviously thus my name "Slasher Diva". You can tell by the first kill if a slasher flick is going to be rewarding or not and this one starts off right. Has Harry Warden come back to Valentine Bluffs to wreak havoc and spill blood or is it someone else?
Common slasher fare but that's why we love them.
Don't open the dryer~!!! Watch out for the hot dogs~!! And never have sex with a man in a miner suit and mask. Buy it especially if you're a slasher lover.
