My Bloody Valentine

So I finally got to see My Bloody Valentine. I had wanted to go see it when it came out in the theaters because

A) I love horror movies
B) It was the first horror movie to be in 3D!!

How wicked cool would that have been to see. But sadly I didn’t get to go, mostly because I couldn’t find anyone to go with me and really, being a female and going to the movies alone just really says all the wrong things. So I didn’t see it…but I did talk my boyfriend in to renting it with me. It was not my proudest moment. I did the whole, “please…please please” thing. Which eventually worked or it wore him down that he figured it would just be easier to say yes. Either way we rented it curled up on the couch with some popcorn and turned out the lights. I was ready for a few good screams!!

It was a little different than a lot of horror movies, the beginning really started off like those 80’s horror movies and the story line was kinda “Blah”. It was bloody right off the bat, but it had that 80’s crap movie feel to it. Which of course I enjoyed, cuz if you know me, you know I have a thing for crap horror movies. So it starts off with this Guy, Harry Warden a miner who goes crazy down in the coal mines because a collapse occurs trapping him and a few other miners inside. Harry kills those around him so he has more oxygen to breath. The rescue workers find him alive, but he is in a comma. He wakes up in the hospital and wreaks havoc in the hospital on his way out. He heads back down to the coal mines only to find a high school party that is being held there. He goes loco and only 4 kids service the attack and everyone else dies. Tom Hanniger (played by Jensen Ackles), Sarah (played by Jamie king), Axel (Played by Kerr Smith) and Irene (played by Betsy Rue). Tom can’t handle almost being sliced throw with a pick axe, so he leaves the town. You think that would be the whole movie right. Well it’s not it is actually only the first 15 minutes of the movie. The movie jumps to 10 years later. Tom returns to the small mining town, only to find that his girlfriend Sarah is now married to Axel who became the town sheriff. Soon after Tom arrives in town, Harry Warden strikes again, once again bringing chaos and destruction to the small town.

This movie was full of blood and violence at every turn. I think it would have been awesome to see it in 3D, but even missing out on that fun aspect, it was still really good! Not the best plot, but if all you are looking for is blood, murder and a few screams this is a great movie to see. It had us guessing the ending and trying to figure it out. I of course enjoyed it, so down and out screams but I did jump a few times. I think I would have screamed had I seen it in the theater with the 3D…grr for not getting the 3D!! I am keeping some of those glasses next time we take the girls to a 3D movie
