Plots(1)
Slasher horror based on the original 1981 film. Tom (Jensen Ackles) returns home to the small mining town of Harmony on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine's night massacre that claimed the lives of 22 people. Instead of a homecoming, however, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders - and it seems that his old flame (Jaime King) is the only one who believes he is innocent.

My Bloody Valentine suffers from issues with the logic of certain scenes, which ultimately affects the point of the whole film, occasionally hobbling it significantly. That's a shame. Perhaps it would benefit from fewer minutes, and less effort to impress with interesting yet not-so-traditional scenes that are overly drawn out. This inconsistency ultimately leads me to give it 50%.

My Bloody Valentine is a TV production drowning in bloody brutality and using 3D effects surprisingly scarcely and unoriginally. Due to the screenwriter’s laziness (the only thing he’s able to do is conceal the killer’s identity), it’s probably the most retarded slasher flick in a long while. The only thing suggesting we’re no longer in the 1980s but in the world of contemporary cinema is the more modern pumps on the feet of one naked blonde, who gets murdered early on.

Schematic and average slasher without any spark or ideas. Fortunately, the angry miner is a fairly charismatic character and whenever he and his pickaxe enter the scene, the viewer’s mood gauge moves from I’m-bored to I’m-entertained, but those moments are brief. And when the film tries to surprise with the oldest and most clichéd stuff you can imagine, all with a very serious face, you wonder whether the screenwriter hadn’t been sleeping for the last twenty years. And yet, My Bloody Valentine is a little bit better than the sterile remake of Friday the 13th.
