Watch My Bloody Valentine For Free

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Blistering performances.

I just came here to watch Jensen Ackles. And while I quite enjoy Supernatural horror (my people will see the pun I made there) I am not much into slasher horror and hadn't seen the original. I went in with low expectations due to poor reviews and it being out of genre for me but I actually enjoyed it. Jensen is still quite young in this and his acting has further matured since he was in this but it's still a good performance. The other 2 main leads (Jamie King as Sarah Palmer and Kerr Smith as Axel) also do a pretty good job, and special mention for a great performance by Betsy Rue, especially considering she was naked for most of it! The non-main characters are 2 dimensional and the script isn't always great but that's not really the point of the movie, it's a who dunit with gore. The action gets started right away, and I was quickly drawn into the story. There is violence galore but while it splatters liberally, it is far fetched rather then gritty and realistic so should not bother anyone familiar with the genre. I actually found it almost humorous in places where you could tell the splattering brains were added purely for 3D effect to gross-out the front row in the cinema. But trying to work out the killer initially kept me busy and a generally good pace kept the movie from dragging - except where it was a little slow in the middle. **MAJOR PLOT SPOILER** anyone else now very familiar with Jensen Ackles might have the twist ruined for them, as after 12 years of Supernatural, you know his moves and can recognise him even if you don't see his face. But if you are not such a mega fan, there is probably a pretty good twist waiting for you at the end of the movie. And it actually makes for an overall fun ride as long as you go in expecting 3D blood splashing with a pretty good who-dunnit rather then any great plot or supporting cast Oscar nominations.

Much like in the original 1981 Canadian slasher film of the same name; this 2009 American 3D remake centered, around murders committed, near Valentine's Day, perpetuated by a psychopath in a miner's outfit. However, while this movie directed by Patrick Lussier seem like it was trying its own ideas, much the outline was just recycle sequences from the first movie. After all, the movie starts out the same with the methane gas explosion, but instead of having the psychopath blame the supervisors for abandoning them in the mine for a Valentine Day party; in the remake, they choose to have the miner go after the owner's son, Tom Hanniger (Jensen Ackles) for forgetting to vent the methane lines. Though a deleted scene does reveal, the killer was trapped while a Valentine's Day dance was being held. Still, because of this change, the focus on the gimmick of the killer sending real-life bloody hearts to his victims seems a bit, out of the blue. Why? Because, when I now, think about it, this remake barely has anything to do with Valentine Day, besides the triangle love story between Tom's best friend Axel Palmer (Kerr Smith), Axel's wife/ Tom's ex-girlfriend, Sarah (Jamie King) and himself. For the most part, the killer just killed random people that has nothing with the main plot, such as the pointless murderous rampage at the motel in the middle or the hospital in the beginning. Another problem with this movie is the awkward structure, it has. Its starts off in 1997, with too quick, over exposition newspaper clipping of the killer being trapped, that does give enough information to explain, why the miner acts the way, he does. Then, the film cut to a year later, with the killer, somehow waking up from his coma in the hospital, and having the strength to goes on a murderous rampage at a miner party that shouldn't had been there, and then, finally ten years later in 2008, when the ageless, Tom returns to reclaim his father's mine and confronting his friends who abandoned him in the mine with the killer. It's all over the place. Without spoiling the movie, too much, the movie is full of plot-holes, such as the grocery store scene and how the sheriff know about the killer being in the house, even the plot twist toward the end, doesn't make a lick of sense, when you think about it. After all, what ever happen to the miner's body in the end!? Another problem with this movie is the choice of acting. Everybody was dry and too serious. There was hardly any wit or charm. It's sad, because one of the actors, is normally enjoyable. After all, he come from a TV Show 'Supernatural' that had an episode (Season 5, 14th episode) that had the same title of this movie, and a similar plot. So, it was possible to make this movie, fun to watch. Instead, everybody felt mostly uniformly unsavory, obnoxious and unsympathetic. Because of this, I really wouldn't care, about their relationship or the character's well-beings. It really took me, out of the movie. Another thing that sicken me, was the overused of the 3D. There was so many images, being thrown in your face that it becomes deadening overkill. It gave me, a headache like the flashing news opening. Clearly, somebody was trying to rip-off, the Daily Prophet. It really doesn't fit in this type of a world. If that wasn't bad, enough. The CGI gore effects were also really bad. It's sad, because the original had some of the best visual effects, at the time. I really couldn't get behind the film, due to how cheap and fake, it look. Another thing that was jarring, was the overused of full-frontal nudity that for the most part, wasn't needed. It was very gimmicky. It must had been very uncomfortable for actress Betsy Rue as the character, Irene to bare it all. It really felt that she got exploited by writers, Todd Farmer and Zane Smith. Even the studio and producers felt that the gore and nudity might had gone too far, as they cut the film from 101 min to 94 mins for some countries like Australia. Then, there was the fact that the movie was going to be released on Friday, February 13, 2009. However, release date was pushed up three weekends to January 23, 2009 so that this film would not have to compete with Friday the 13th remake, a film with a much bigger name. Overall: while the movie was still a success at the box office. I really don't get, why some people like this movie, over the original, because it's bad. For me, it's not worth digging for. Its cheap thrills that really lack imagination. I really hate it. This movie will not get any love, from me.

"My Bloody Valentine 3D" is a marvelous rendition of an 80's classic updated with care to create one of the best "remakes" out there. The film does not stray to far from its predecessor yet adds to it in a visually stunning form. Even in 2-D it shines as though it were made back in the 80s! The character development is what I enjoyed the most as it gave a nice change from topless blonde teens running to their deaths. The coal miner "Harry Warden" awakens from his one year coma and wreaks havoc but for a short period as he is gunned down later on. Ten years pass and the town of Harmony wants to forget about this terrible event in their history. Tom Hanniger returns to town to sell his fathers mining facility and catches up with the townsfolk only for a mysterious man in a coal miner outfit to show up and begin a murdering spree. Is it Harry Warden back from the dead or an impostor? The plot to this film is average but the kills are great. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a great night of fright and suspense.

In my opinion, the original 1981 movie beats this remake out of the water. From the moment when our killer is in the hotel room taking his pills and the camera zooming right to his face you can tell who the killer is right away! This can make me jump here and there, but to me the gore is nothing compared to the '81 original, there seem to be more talking and less killing and more focused on a love triangle. The 1981 version is better because of the sets and storyline, a dark grim place of a coal mine that looks more abandoned then working would make the film more better. Here it's a working coal mine and is far too modern to be dark and grim. The ending of the 1981 version was more dark and grim and heart pounding that it deserves to have a sequel. This one is just, 'here's the killer thanks for your money!' then credits roll.From the moment when you see the main character in his hotel room and the music along with it and the camera zooming to his face, you already know who the killer is.
