    Tout d'abord, pour ceux qui me connaisse, les films d'horreurs, ça me fait rire! Celui-ci est un peu comme plusieurs autres, trop souvent prévisibles! Assez sanglant par exemple et très dure par moment, surtout le passage suivant :

    Je n'ai pas vu le film en 3D, donc je peux pas dire si cela rehausse un peu le film, mais sans le 3D, beaucoup de scènes où on le voit vraiment qu'elles ont été produites pour être visionnées en 3D.

    Et puis, je m'excuse, mais après une attaque comme cela, l'homme n'est pas mort! Probablement juste incapable de parler et souffrant à l'agonie, mais pas MORT!!!!

    Sinon et bien, comme d'habitude, pour poursuivre la tradition, le meurtrier pourrait se faire rouler dessus par un 10 roues et être encore vivant à la fin !!! Et je me demande toujours: "Pourquoi les personnages sont aussi cons et connes ?? Est-ce nécessaire pour que le film soit classé dans la catégorie «horreur» ??? "

    A pretty average slasher film and definitely based around the 3-D, it uses as many scenes as it can for this effect. I only saw it on DVD but you can just tell what scenes, effects were done for the 3-D parts. Very bloody and gory in places, with a slight twist if you can call it...( read more) that. Overall pretty good but no doubt more fun in 3-D mode.

    Wonderful...Blood, gore, confusion...What else was it missing? Nothing

    Ugh, this movie is a mess. And not a fun mess either. Clearly constructed around the 3D gimmick, which looks like total shit on DVD, My Bloody Valentine really doesn't have any other redeeming qualities. The glasses made me want to throw up after about half an hour. Basically, yo...( read more)u had to catch it in the theaters or its worth will be completely lost on you. In my opinion, any film that becomes obsolete within two months of its initial release just shouldn't have been made at all.

    There are fun bits, but nothing pertaining to the totally uncreative kills or the sloppy jump scares. I'm talking about bits where the heroine hits the murderer with a piece of meat, or a bizarrely small woman owning a motel. Otherwise this is about as competently assembled as a Lifetime movie with acting to match. Jensen Ackles is stunningly, sensationally bad. He is able to project literally one expression: glassy-eyed nonchalance. Jaime King may have a future as a scream queen, but a lot of her dramatic material seems slow and underperformed, like she's not really paying attention. Kerr Smith is probably the least offensive of the three. Also any actor over the age of 40 chewed the scenery so much that it hurt. If it wasn't intentional, they should feel ashamed of themselves, but if it was then it wasn't funny.

    On that note, I can understand people defending this as a homage to B-movie slashers, which is all well and good, but the pieces just aren't there. It's low-energy, bereft of quirk or innovation, and plays out as derivative more than referential. It feels too glossy and commercial to be anything respectful like a homage. This was clearly just a shitty movie commissioned by some savvy businessman who knew that a 3D horror flick with flying viscera would turn a bit of coin. Totally skippable.

    Atrocious, mean spirited slasher film exists simply to showcase one grisly death after another. Weak plot concerns a psychopathic miner who apparently returns to wreck havoc on the citizens of the town of Harmony exactly 10 years after his original killing spree. Gratuitous vi...( read more)olence and gore does not equal scary. In fact, the most horrifying thing about the film is the acting. Without the 3D effects, there is NOTHING to recommend about this film.
  • November 17, 2009
    I thought this was a solid remake all in all. At least it was not a shot by shot remake which helps. The special effects were amazing and the acting was above average for a slasher flick. There is a little bit of a mystery going on about who is the killer which makes the movie...( read more) have slightly more depth then others of its genre. Also they had the legend Tom Atkins in the film which automatically makes it a better film lol. Its worth a watch, it will keep the interest of most horror fans and may just get a few non horror fans interested as well for the slightly more drawn out story.

    A coal mine collapes on some minors and one ends up in a comma. When he comes out he kills everyone in the hospital. This movie is full of gore and suspence. It kind of reminds me of some old Friday the 13th movies. Exspecially the part where the naked chick hides under the bed. ...( read more)Thought it was dumb how she used the bed spring to protect her while the killer has a pick ax that went right through the springs. She could have also locked the door befor she went under the bed. It's completly unpredictable with awesome unexpected twists. The only flaw is the person I wanted to see die didn't. That's okay as long as there's a part 2!
  • November 16, 2009
    it really wasn't as good as I thought it would be.
  • November 12, 2009
    I hate it when movies "lie" to me. Don't show me something that didn't happen when I'm trying to figure out who the killer is. Lucky for this movie Jensen Ackles and his beautiful self graced this movie with his presence or I may not have even rated it.
  • November 11, 2009
    Possibly three minutes of film that were 3-D. Normally the poor acting and bad storyline wouldn't bother me in a slasher flick, because I watch them for the death scenes... but the death scenes weren't even good!

It's a lousy movie all around, but I had a great time watching it. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV

Without RealD, the new remake of My Bloody Valentine the 1981 Canadian slasher film, probably wouldn't be worth walking across the street to watch. As it is, though, the movie's pretty entertaining. full review

Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

The new remake of My Bloody Valentine wasn't screened for the press, which was a mistake; it's actually more interesting, more fun and better made than most of the big movies that were screened. full review

Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly

What really leaps out at you about My Bloody Valentine 3-D is its lack of imagination. full review

Ethan Gilsdorf, Boston Globe

My Bloody Valentine may not be horribly acted, but in a post-Scream and post-Scary Movie era, it's difficult to squeeze any more blood from this low-brow/high-camp turnip. full review

January 20, 2009
Ethan Alter, Film Journal International

Despite a few creative scares, this 3D enhanced horror film never quite delivers on its central gimmick. full review

January 18, 2009
Bryant Frazer, Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus

This lowest-common-denominator remake of/sequel to a minor slasher classic succeeds on purely technical terms but, despite the depth effects, it's a serious snooze. full review

Luke Y. Thompson, E! Online

The end credits scroll over a single long tracking shot that goes progressively deeper into a coal mine, and the fact that it's creepier and more atmospheric than anything preceding it is a sad statem... full review

It's a gimmick, but so are horror films and people pay for those, so one supposes some will pay for them in 3D. full review

Mildly proficient as far as throwbacks go. full review

    This movie was laughable. I didn't find it scary, I didn't find it thrilling, although it was gory it just didn't frighten me. I basically just wanted to watch it till the end for two reasons.
    1. To find out who the murderer is and
    2. To see Jensen Ackles (hoottt)
    I would maybe recommend it to see with your friends. To laugh at it of course.

    As fas as I am concerned this was an excellent movie and well worth the extra money. What makes this an outstanding movie and a pleasant surprise was the entire movie is made in 3D

    A deranged murderer kills those who celebrate Valentine's Day.

    Ten years ago, a tragedy changed the town of Harmony forever. Tom Hanniger, an inexperienced coal miner, caused an accident in the tunnels that trapped and killed five men and sent the only survivor, Harry Warden, into a permanent coma. But Harry Warden wanted revenge. Exactly one year later, on Valentine's Day, he woke up...and brutally murdered twenty-two people with a pickaxe before being killed. Ten years later, Tom Hanniger returns to Harmony on Valentine's Day, still haunted by the deaths he caused. Struggling to make amends with his past, he grapples with unresolved feelings for his ex-girlfriend, Sarah, who is now married to his best friend, Axel, the town sheriff. But tonight, after years of peace, something from Harmony's dark past has returned. Wearing a miner's mask and armed with a pickaxe, an unstoppable killer is on the loose. And as his footsteps come ever closer, Tom, Sarah and Axel realize in terror that it just might be Harry Warden who's come back to claim them.

    Eleven years prior to the present day, a cave-in on the north side of a mine owned and operated by Hanniger Mining Co. trapped six miners. When rescue teams arrived, they found five dead—killed by a pick axe—and one, Harry Warden (Richard John Walters), in a coma. The local papers accused Warden of killing the other five to prolong his air supply; the boss' son, Tom Hanniger (Jensen Ackles) is questioned but released. He is blamed for the mine disaster because he forgot to vent the methane lines.

    The following year on Valentine's Day, Warden awakes from his coma and escapes the hospital, killing many in the process. At the abandoned mineshaft that was the site of the disaster, a party is in full swing, attended by many teens, including Axel (Kerr Smith), his girlfriend Irene (Betsy Rue), Tom Hanniger, and his girlfriend, Sarah (Jaime King). Sarah goes in alone and gets lost looking for Axel and Irene.She runs across a teen and a few sceonds later he is stabbed in the back of his head through his eye.. She is confronted by Harry Warden in full miner's garb, carrying a bloody pick-axe, and flees for safety; Axel grabs her and they hide from the killer. He eventually sees them, and they run out of the mine, where they run into Tom coming in. The killer hits him with the pick axe, injuring him, while the other three run for the car and leave him behind. Tom runs back into the mine in an attempt to get away from the killer; just as he's about to be killed, the police arrive and shoot the killer, but he makes his getaway back into the mine.

    Ten years later, Tom's father, whom Tom was estranged from, dies and Tom inherits the mine. Tom then returns to town after his father's funeral to sell the mine. Axel is now sheriff and married to Sarah. In quick succession, Irene is murdered by Harry Warden at the motel where Tom is staying, then a miner is murdered in the mineshaft where Warden was chased by the cops. Axel asks his father, the retired sheriff, what happened to Warden. He says that he and Tom's father killed and buried him. Axel, Tom, Sarah and Axel's father go to the spot where Warden was buried to see that his body is no longer there.

    Next, the current mine manager and Axel's mistress are killed. Tom picks Sarah up to take her to Axel's love nest to convince her that Axel is the killer. Axel then calls her and tells her that Tom is the killer. She crashes Tom's car and makes her way to Axel's shack. Sarah is chased by the killer all the way to the mine. There, Sarah goes into the shaft where the original murders took place, where she is joined by both Tom and Axel, and after a brief stand off, Axel and Sarah realize that Tom is delusional and has been carrying out the murders himself while hallucinating that it was Warden. Sarah shoots Tom in the abdomen, and the bullet goes straight through him and into a compressed air tank, causing a fireball to knock down Tom. She escapes with Axel. A rescue team comes in to the mine to help Tom, but Tom kills one of the rescuers and escapes the scene dressed in the rescue worker's clothing.
