Get your heart broken

Sunday, February 15, 2009

Personally I don't think there's any better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with a 1 hour 40 minute gore fest. Yes, that's right, I'm telling you all to skip the pathetically fuzzy looking He's Just Not That In To You and instead opt for the romantic My Bloody Valentine. Of course by romantic I mean frolicking, bloody ride to hell. My Bloody Valentine is adapted from the 80s shock horror flick of the same name and is set a decade after traumatized miner Harry Warden goes on a pickaxe massacre murdering 22 people on Valentine's Day. Some dude called Tom returns to the town years later only to find that a string of similar murders has started up. With Warden believed to be long dead, the Sheriff casts suspicion on Tom. It seems his old flame, Sarah, is the only one who believes he’s innocent. Some lucky buggers will get to watch this in 3D but most of us will have to settle for the 2D version. My Bloody Valentine is what it is and if you go expecting an Oscar worthy film, prepare to be disappointed. It's a good scare, nothing more, nothing less. If you want to watch a bunch of idiots get chased round by a psycho with a pickaxe then this is the film for you. My Bloody Valentine has done darn good with the critics with consenus on Rotten Tomatoes (61%) saying: "This gory, senses-assaulting slasher film is an unpretentious, effective mix of old-school horror stylings and modern 3D technology." If the thought of a mushy, romantic, Barrymore-fest this Valentine's Day makes you want to hurl then this suprisngly good horror flick is the alternative for you. Check out the pee inducing trailer here.
