4.0 out of 5 stars Be my BLOODY VALENTINE, 14 Feb 2009

This review is from: My Bloody Valentine [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)

I finally got to see the new cut of My Bloody Valentine as 3 mins of gore have been re-instated in the movie in the Lionsgate re-released DVD of this classic. If you are wondering where the rest of the 6 missing minutes are as there was 9 minutes of gore removed. Sadly it turns out the film was ruined and those scenes are unfortunately detorerated beyond repair so that the reason why they haven't included them on the new DVD but most of the gore is back and makes the forgotten classic a more remembered one. Don't go thinking that the remake follows the story of this one as the remake is based very loosely and different in many ways. However if you just want to see this for the classic it is then read on...

The inhabitants of Valentine Bluffs are planning their annual Valentine's Day dance but this year they are warned not to otherwise people will die. Naturally the young adults don't listen and the bodies start to pile up one after another in various gruesome and gory ways. I loved this film as it shows some innovativeness with the way the forewarned adults are killed, some deaths that had never been used and shown during the horrors of the 80's movies are shown and done well right here on the screen as the mystery of the miner slowly unfolds. This has the right to become a cult horror classic as this was one of the great horror movies to come out of Paramount studios at that time First Friday the 13th then My Bloody Valentine and since then the friday the 13th sequels and now Friday the 13th remake. The acting in this is good and makes you wonder whatever happened to the principal stars of this film as they seem to have disappeared into thin air. Shame I'd like to see Neil Affleck and Paul Kelman again in another movie. They drove the movie as friends/now rivals Axel and Tom (who was called TJ in this but you can tell he was Tom. There are the occasional plothole in this which the analiser of movies will probably post up on a site but me I don't care, it's a movie plain and simple. My philosophy is that if they didn't write it in the script the reason why a character did a certain thing then who gives a damn. My Bloody valentine has been released with all the gore and it's both a great horror to watch and also a classic by horror standards nowadays so get to see it as soon as you can or watch it over Valentine's day and scare your gf to death and plz "Be my bloody valentine"

One more word: If you see the DVD with the hand drawing a heart in blood on a window, be warned this is the heavily edited MPAA version and none of the gore will be seen. Get the version by Lionsgate with the miner on the front holding a bloody heart shaped chocolate box as this is the one that has the gore in all of it's reinstated glory, but you must choose the extended cut on the menu in order to see it.
"Sarah, be my bloody valentine."

5.0 out of 5 stars Back in time with a great Blu-ray!, 27 Dec 2009

By

50:50 (New Haven) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Bloody Valentine [Blu-ray] [1981] [US Import] (Blu-ray)

Wow, this is a really great looking BD. For those who don't know: After many years this movie can now be seen in it's original unrated Version, sure you will notice that the new integrated scenes are not of the same quality, but what the hell, now they are here and this moves My Bloody Valentine from a sleeping pill to a really good slasher movie. Important for us here in Europe: The BD is codefree, so come and get some of this great 80's feeling again.

4.0 out of 5 stars My "Bloody" Valentine, 24 Sep 2006

This review is from: My Bloody Valentine [DVD] (DVD)

I'm not sure that a four-star rating does this movie justice: the killer, the storyline, the ending and the inventive death scenes were all worth the full five - but the gore in this movie is very eddited. The way in which the killer murders the victims is gruesome and cleaver...but the scene of murder ends before any of the real gore starts. If the movie had not been so cut, it would have been fantastic instead of just very good; this is why I have only given it four stars.

However, dont let that put you off, this movie is creepy and suspenceful and it actually features a pretty cool killer. It is still a very good movie and does feature moderate amounts of gore - as long as you aren't expecting buckets of blood this movie will not dissappoint.

On Valentines Day 1960, the men in charge of running the mines left early to attend a valentines party, leaving the workers down in the mines without checking the levels of methane gas in the air. The gas levels rose too high causing a minor explosion and the mines partially collapsed, leaving only one survivor, Harry Warden, who then went crazy and murdered the three people who had left without checking the methane levels. He was then admitted into a mental institution.

Valentines Day went uncelebrated by the residents of the town for twenty years but "now", on Valentines Day of 1980, decorations are set up all over the town and a Valentines Day dance is planned by the local teenagers. When people start dieing the sheriff gets worried and calls of the celebrations. Rebelliously, the kids decide have a secret party in the mines benieth the town, where the killer turns up to make sure that this valentines is a night to dismember...
