My Bloody Valentine (2009)

This is my first review & I had to do it!! This is a joke of a movie!! I understand you don't do a carbon copy of the original but at least keep the spirit of the original & this does not. The only thing this has in common with the original besides the title is, coal mine, killer & names. The original was a scary movie that didn't show much gore!! There are kills you don't ever see in the original but you do see the aftermath of it. This movie is about gore, full blown nudity and nothing else!!! There is no build up, no getting a feel for the characters, it's just jump right in to the gore!! Harry Warden was found crazed and eating those that died in the original, he didn't kill them like this remake says!!!! After a year, he came back to kill the men who left before the miners were out in the original, not this remake!! The nudity I mentioned before, this remake has a girl run out after the guy she just had sex with completely naked and carrying a gun. There was no point in that whole thing!!! I could go on and on about this fiasco of a movie but I recommend NO ONE sees this. Watch the original!!

My Bloody Valentine is a 2009 horror film directed by Patrick Lussier, and written by numerous. Ten years after a bloody massacre that left 22 women, men and children dead, Tom returns to his hometown after witnessing the bloody attacks and almost being murdered himself. Upon his return, the same murders begin happening again, this time, targeting those that were present at the first massacre. Tom finds himself the prime suspect and must fight to prove his innocence.When I first saw this film advertised, back in 2009, I thought it was merely a rip off or a reboot of The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976). I never put much thought into it other than that, and didn't pay much attention to it, until today after my soulmate recommended it to me. I decided that, even if it was a bad film, it was something to watch and do whilst I cleaned the house.Instead, I ended up stuck to the couch, staring at my screen and trying to figure out what was going on, trying to follow the leads and the clues given to us, and just left in total awe. There's a really good story line in this with twists; you think you know who the killer is and then you're thrown for a loop. There's so many different routes this could have taken, it was brilliant to watch. It was a real adrenaline pumper, and honestly, other than the crappy CGI, I would have happily bought this film.Unfortunately, after an amazing ending scene, we are left with nothing explained, and the film being left on a cliff hanger. Personally, this annoyed me. I had many ideas as to why what happened did happen, but there was no explanation to any of it. It left it open, possible for a sequel, but with the context of the film, no decent sequel could have really been done. This was a real mood killer for me, and extremely annoying. After a very good film, I was left frustrated and confused, and this really ruined the film for me. A simple ten minutes afterwards, doing a summary of everything that happened, would have really worked well for this. The acting in this film was really well done, and Jensen Ackles is definitely an actor I am interested in, after seeing this. There were a few of his scenes that seemed a little overdone, but I feel that was more the cinematography in itself, rather than Ackles' acting. Jaime King is also an actress I would love to have a look at in more detail. Her acting in this really helped sell the film, and bring a bigger horror feel to it. Her acting left me with goosebumps, and had my heart thumping, experiencing her own terror on screen with her. Both leads, male and female, were absolutely spectacular, and I would love to see them lead another horror film in the future.Personally, I wish I had gone to see this when I came out, and seen it in 3D like it was meant to be seen in. I feel like this might have made me love it a little more, and maybe it would have been seven stars, but seeing it in 2D was good enough, in all honesty.Again, the only thing really about this was the ending, and it frustrated me so much, a film that I was going to give nine stars, ended up a six star review. This was a really good film, but the director and editor should have really looked more at the ending. It felt like the ending was rushed after it all, and I've said it before, but it was the most aggravating thing. All in all, it's a decent film, and I would recommend it to gore and psychological horror lovers, just not if you're one of those fans that really need a good ending to a film.

"My Bloody Valentine 3D" is a marvelous rendition of an 80's classic updated with care to create one of the best "remakes" out there. The film does not stray to far from its predecessor yet adds to it in a visually stunning form. Even in 2-D it shines as though it were made back in the 80s! The character development is what I enjoyed the most as it gave a nice change from topless blonde teens running to their deaths. The coal miner "Harry Warden" awakens from his one year coma and wreaks havoc but for a short period as he is gunned down later on. Ten years pass and the town of Harmony wants to forget about this terrible event in their history. Tom Hanniger returns to town to sell his fathers mining facility and catches up with the townsfolk only for a mysterious man in a coal miner outfit to show up and begin a murdering spree. Is it Harry Warden back from the dead or an impostor? The plot to this film is average but the kills are great. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a great night of fright and suspense.

I've been looking for the worst the worst of horror movies for over a year. At last count it was at 97 shitty horror movies and this was number 98.This takes the cake What the f*ck.There was no motivation for the killings. No buildup. I don't even remember one single name of the characters. No story. Embarrassing use of the 3D feature. Just why.I was drunk through the entire screening and it still made me regret watching it. Please. Don't watch it.
