Like many 21st Century horror films, My Bloody Valentine 3D is packed with blood, guts and the odd bimbo. Having little faith in modern day horror films, I was willing to give this re-make a chance. Although I squirmed at the gory death scenes, it disappointed with its dire acting and an unspeakable storyline.
Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of the film is the directors, Patrick Lussier’s incompetence to make use of the films potential. As a result, I feel that too much focus was put on the 3D effects. Unfortunately, this means that without the effects, My Bloody Valentine would be dull and laughable for all the wrong reasons.
Picture taken from Google Image Ten years ago, Tom Hanniger caused an accident in the coal mines of a town called Harmony. The accident caused the death of five miners and the only survivor, Harry Warden to be in a coma. One year later, on Valentine’s Day, Harry wakes up and in a bid for revenge goes on a killing spree with a pick axe, murdering the hospital staff and a bunch of teenagers partying at the derelict mine. He is eventually caught and killed himself, or is he?
Among the teenagers at the party, the only survivors are Tom (Jensen Ackles), Sarah (Jaime King), Axel (Kerr Smith), and Irene (Betsy Rue). Despite Tom fleeing Harmony, he finds himself having to come back 10 years later because of his ownership of the mines. He comes back to find his ex girlfriend, Sarah and Axel are married (with a few complications) and Irene is now the town hussy (hence the bimbo). After years of peace, Harmony finds the miner’s mask wearing killer is back to finish what he started, particularly focusing on Tom, Sarah, Axel and Irene.
The film can seem quite predictable, but this cheesy slasher film doesn’t reveal its twist until right at the very end of the film, and compared to the rest of the storyline, it is quite a good one. Despite all the negativity, this film has sold out on most showings. But when the viewer has pick axes and boobs flying at them every two seconds, it is easy to understand why. If you are looking for the typical gory, tacky horror film with the bonus 3D effects, go ahead and watch it. If you’re looking for quality and originality, I advise you save your money.
