Synopsis

Twenty years ago in the sleepy mining town of Valentine Bluffs, a fatal mining disaster occurred on Valentine's Day while key members of the crew were decorating for a party. The sole survivor of the accident killed the absentee crew members and warned the town never to have another Valentine's Day celebration. When a group of teenagers decides that the the town has gone without a party long enough and begin planning one, a murderous maniac in mining gear begins showing up and dispatching townsfolk in bloody and creative ways. Combining the small town atmosphere of HALLOWEEN (1978) with the body count gore of FRIDAY THE 13TH (1978), MY BLOODY VALENTINE is an example of the glut of low-budget copycat films that those two influential films inspired in the early 1980s.

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

By	Great White "GW" (Leicester, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Bloody Valentine [DVD] [1981] [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."

4.0 out of 5 stars A kiss and a stab, 12 Jun 2009

By	Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This early 80s slasher opens in true fashion with a couple of gas-mask wearing miners, getting jiggy with it at the bottom of a mine. One of the miners takes off her mask (and half of her clothes) and reveals herself to be a blonde female with a red heart tattoo above her left breast. Her fellow `miner' stops her from removing his mask, and tenderly strokes her breast before suddenly impaling her on his pickaxe.
Cut to a bunch of good old boys laughing and joking as they knock-off from the mine and head to town to see their sweethearts and whoop it up at the town's Valentines party; one man however has been ditched by his babe and stands moodily in the corner sipping his beer; is he after revenge..?

As a mysterious masked killer cuts down the town's residents, leaving their hearts in chocolate boxes as a warning to others, the mayor and chief of police recall a vengeful miner, Harry Warden, who blames the town for the death of five of his colleagues 20 years earlier. Has Harry escaped from the secure unit where he was committed after committing two similar murders in 1960? Is the doom-mongering bartender the one behind the grisly slayings? What will happen when the young miners and their girls defy Harry's chilling warnings and hold a Valentine's party in the old mine...?

It's interesting seeing this homely and not at all scary movie, with its generally not at all good looking leads and inevitable end, after the glossy 2009 remake. Good fun for 90 minutes and there is some surprise in the ending after all...

3.0 out of 5 stars Stylish 80's slasher, 7 Feb 2004

By A Customer

My Bloody Valentine is a rather fun and inventive hack & slash flick, using the tried and tested unstoppable killer scenario we've all seen since 'Halloween'. But, it has somes good scares and an unsettling atmosphere, and a great mine shaft finale.
