My Bloody Valentine is my personal favorite slasher movie and being one of the greatest slasher film of all time, this movie still kickass with the uncut version making the film better, and having great cast to care for, and the gas mask killer is badass!!! With that awesome menacing Miner gas mask 🔪💖🔪. I love this one and the remake too great review Drumdum this movie still kickass as a badass slasher film.
Well said. You just got pinned!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews hell yeah Juno got pinned lee brother bro
I love both the original and the remake but the original edges out the remake and I just love the feel that you get in the original when there in town and in the bar just give you that small town life feel
I love this movie. It’s probably my favorite slasher film right behind The Burning. One of the better paced slasher movies I’ve seen as well.
TheBurning1981 agreed! some people call it slow paced, but I think it’s paced perfectly.
I have this on Blu Ray...and dvd...and dvd special edition with the slip...and double feature with April fool's day... Don't judge me Lee!!! Ha ha...💀👍
Bones and The Necro Zoo No judgement here brother. We’re in this together.
Great review Lee!!!
I just watched My Bloody Valentine last night and I love it. One of my favorite slasher films!!!! As for the remake, I love it too and it's one of the best remakes released.
What's up Justin?! Agreed. And the remake is super solid.
This, Sleepaway camp and Silent night deadly night are my personal BIG 3 Slashers..Love Micheal, Jason and Freddy though! Happy Singles Awareness day!
Haha love it. Singles Awareness Day! :p
I think Mr Myers will always be my favourite slasher, but this rates high for me. I also agree about Sleepaway Camp, i love Angela, certainty the first two. I'm yet to see Silent Night Deadly Night.
Watched this last night. It’s become a Valentine’s Day tradition for me. I LOVE My Bloody Valentine, I really enjoy the blue collar atmosphere and the fact that the characters are slightly older instead of being teenagers is intriguing. Love TJ and Sarah. I was able to score this movie on Blu-ray on eBay a few years ago for around 25 dollars. The unrated version is definitely the way to go.
Good thing you found it for a decent price men. It's an annual tradition for me too!
I’m so jealous of that Blu Ray. Just the extra scenes you have in your opening made me love the movie even more cause I hadn’t seen any of that deleted gore. Looks glorious (goreious?)
Sinister Cinema Reviews Oh man you haven’t seen the unrated cut?! This blu-ray is one of my most prized possessions.
Drumdums perfect. Give it to me 😈
Never!!! :p
Hell...if I dropped $100 bucks on it, I wouldn't be that mad. I seen it for $59 I think on Ebay. Keep an eye out.
Sinister Cinema Reviews So glad I own the bluray! Sorry Jace but it feels great to own something you don't and I've seen the deleted gore. Sorry babe❤️️😜
The song in the end credits is another great thing about this film.
This is a top 5 slasher movie for me. I actually saw the cut version first and still loved it so when I saw it uncut I was blown away. Glad to know you loved it too Lee.
I don't know if I've actually ever watched just the cut version.
Drumdums tbf when I watched it I knew it had been cut and kept thinking I wish was uncut but in saying that it’s still a very effective horror movie without the gore.
Hey DrumDums! It's me ShaBangaNoodles/BustaRhymeSucks! This is my new Channel where I review Movies and hunt for Blu-Rays and stuff! Thank you so much for inspiring me to start this channel. 😁👍
All About Movies!!! Awesome man! I subbed!
Always loved this flick
Yeah, this has always been an underrated film comparatively to other slashers. personally I like it better than a lot of other slashers, including all the Fridays except maybe the first one. It just feels very raw, and the tone you mentioned is one of the reasons I like it - it's a bit different than the typical. I like the original better than the remake. Remakes almost never capture the cool 80's feel and level of gore of the original films of that era, and I feel this is true with My Bloody Valentine as well.
Good review.
Agreed. This is definitely one of the best slashers out there. Authentic as hell!
I can’t believe I’ve never seen the original haha, the remake was fun though.
grantgtrr34 Oh man you have to get on that bro!!😧
It is really a shame that they never made a sequel because he's definitely a badass looking killer
Completely agree!
Happy’s death is my favorite kill in this movie the kill where Happy gets the pickaxe through the eye!
Man those kills were gruesome. They did a great job on that. I will be checking this out tomorrow for sure
Yeah they were. I'll be checking out the remake.
Man this video came out the day I had opened heart surgery over at Memphis,Tennessee along with the kill count (February 13th).
So glad I bought this cheap on Blu-ray when it came out! I freaking love this movie!!! Scared the crap outta me when I was just a little kid
We still haven't had the Lionsgate uncut edition released in UK yet, the version Paramount released is cut to bits & so I got the US import.
Brilliant review of a underrated slasher, I'm surprised this didn't get a sequel with how it ended but it's a entertaining slasher with some carnage candy thrown in.
The 2008 remake is also very good & definitely on par with this film.
One of my favorite slashers. It doesn't get the credit deserves.
it's awesome.
Great review! Great movie actually, very unique for the time. And I also really respect the presentation.
Hybrid Theories Yeah this one really stands out from the pack.
Man it's a crime for me that I never really watched My Bloody Valentine (1981) I love horror movies I love slasher. I love possessed films like THE EVIL DEAD (1981) watched the film and review it.
Member of your Killer Flicks group and first time visit to your channel ...Great Review.I love the original for sentimental reasons.I saw it as a double feature with Friday the 13th pt.2 at the drive-in back in 1981.I liked the remake as well.I was also lucky to purchase the Special Edition on Blu-Ray.💖 Glad I stopped by.I'll be back 👍
Thanks for checking out my review man...and welcome to Killer Flicks!
My pleasure and Thank YOU 👍
I’ve seen the blu ray sell for up to 200$ on eBay in a bidding war. I got it for 5$ at wal-mart here in Canada. It’s a great old Canadian slasher. So many great kills and the story is a little more then just a normal slasher.
AJPunk15 Completely agree. It’s a unique and solid slasher for sure.
you and dead meat both did this one and it out of nowhere became a favorite of mine
Oh yes. This is a bona fide classic!
MLG HITLER that'd be cool if Lee could do a colab with Dead Meat.
Drumdums it's the gore especially in the one with the cut footage added in my favorite has to be the axe eye kill
That could be cool!
Scutlet I would so love that!
My favorite horor of all time, Harry is my favorite slasher of all time AND I LOVE THE BALLAD OF HARRY WARDEN!
I actually scored my bluray copy at Walmart for $10 as well!!!!!!!! Watch it every Valentine's Day!
Good to know it's worth something, more to me in the dark corner of my room I watch it from..
Quentin Tarantino's favorite slasher movie??? How awesome. I still can't watch it alone, even from the dark corner of my room...
BTW, love your t-shirt, once again.
The name Harry Warden still sends shivers down my dark and lonely spine.
All of the actors are great!
Yeah can't believe I scored for such a great price back in 09.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews most excellent!!!! Us horror hounds keeping our eyes open! lol
Remember this movie played in the UK in cinemas on a double bill with The Funhouse.....just to say 1981 was a great year for slasher movies think The Burning,Madman,Friday the 13th Part 2,The Prowler and this 😍
Wayne Goodman 1981 is the greatest year for Horror in history. End of story.
We were spoilt for choice that year for great slasher/horror movies 🙂
Yet another very good review! 👍
ShaBangaNoodles Thank you!🙏
Drumdums of course Man!
I actually saw the remake first, then I saw the dvd of the original, purchased it, and voila I fell in love. I like the remake and the cast, I mean Jensen Ackles, need I say more Lol. Seriously the original is so good and is highly underrated.
I saw the remake first as well, and it made me want to watch the original. Haha all the girls love Jensen. :p
Drumdums Yes we do! Lol
This was one of my faves as a kid, I think I still have the VHS tape without the cover art sadly in the garage somewhere haha I remember being really creeped out of the ending where Axel is singing at the end, it still gives me chills. I'll be watching this one, as well as Valentine today. :) Would definitely recommend April Fools Day (1986) if you haven't seen that one yet. Awesome video!🔪
I was literally just thinking about hunting down the VHS on Ebay. I don't remember April Fool's Day at all, outside of Amy Steel being in it.
My mom loved ‘April Fool’s Day’ (1986) and she doesn’t like slasher horror much
Quentin Tarantino said it’s an underappreciated slasher movie
The blu ray for this film is over $100 on eBay! I want it so bad, as I have never seen this film, but I think I might have to settle for DVD... but I heard that even that can be expensive if you go for the uncut version, and that’s the only one I’d want to see! I probably won’t see this film unless it gets a new release someday.
Yes. Make sure you get the uncut version. I think you can get the DVD for $9 but I would be sure.
Scream Factory is making a blu-ray release, so that should help.
GAMEPRODELTA
Two years later, I got the new release and finally watched it. Worth the wait.
This was the most Canadian film i ever saw in my life
I love the plot twist at the end of this movie it’s so surprising and it doesn’t ruin the movie
And I like that it’s not obvious who is under the mask & the reveal is like “wha??”
[Unrelated Comment] I asked for the original Halloween movie for my birthday, I got a collection of every single Halloween movie, except the original. Also, I completely forgot about your channel! I have to binge all the videos I missed.
Oh man that sucks that you didn't get the first! Thanks for catching up Dan!
Drumdums
I can just rent the original, and then watch all the other movies for free.
That is true.
Fun 80's Slasher movie here. Love The Ballad of Henry Warden. Own it and the remake. Good review as always.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, it’s my favorite slasher film. I even enjoyed the twist at the end.
Still gotta see the unrated cut. Don't see myself finding or paying for the BluRay so the DVD will do heh.
Yeah Chelea you can get the dvd for around $9. That is the must watch version.
Another great review! Happy Valentines Day!
Happy Valentines Day to you too!
I finally got around to watching this year & it was quite good. The practical effects still look great after almost 40 years & it was nice to have an unknown cast. I have the special edition of the movie and only watch the extended cut since you get the missing gore
I had this Blu-ray at one time, had no idea it was out if print and was worth so much. I could kick myself for trading it in for next to nothing. Hoping this gets a 4K release.
Good review. I love this movie. One of my favorite slasher movies. Great tension and characters and great kills in the director's cut.
Oh it's a classic!
I felt so bad when the poor girlfriend of the Pringles man/Walrus guy gets it, she was really cute.
Yep. And my favorite kill.
Great review as always man!
Thanks Kyle!
This movie is really one if the best slasher films ever. Great review lee.....
Yes it is Dino. God I love this movie. It might be in my top 5 now after this last watch.
I saw My Bloody Valentine (1981) first on Cinemax back in the early 90s. I enjoyed it for how unintentionally funny some of the scenes were. Another suggestion for horror involving miners is Graveyard Shift (1990).
Interesting. Might look into that one. Thanks Joe!
I know this video is old but the new scream factory blu ray of my bloody valentine is PACKED with special features and has a brand new transfer of the unrated version....so all the uncut scenes that looked crappy in the old special edition are in HD and will look seamless.
Have never seen it, but will have to now! Thanks, Lee!
Yes you do. Don't miss this one.
Awesome review! I didn't know the blu-ray was out of print and worth so much now. Glad I got it when I saw it for 10 bucks as well!
Yeah man it's one that I'm so glad I have...and would NEVER sell.
Yeah I’ve looked for this on BluRay forever and can’t find it. Shout Factory needs to release this. Maybe they have cause I haven’t checked in awhile? I’ve always loved the look of “Harry Warden” and he needs his own neca figure!
I wish they had made a sequel. Think director George Mahilka’s sequel idea was to explore TJ & Sarah’s PTSD
I feel like this is the perfect slasher movie. It’s basically got everything I look for in a great slasher. The characters are so likable and genuine, and they work so well together. The small mining town aspect brings a great uniqueness to the film. I also really like how they buildup the legend of Harry Warden. It kind of makes you wonder if he’s the killer or if it’s someone new. Going along with that, I’ve always enjoyed the whodunit slasher movies. It keeps you thinking and guessing throughout the entire movie. The comedy and goofiness also makes it a fun ride. The reveal and ending scene with the killer laughing is also so well done. Lastly, the kills in the uncut version are so creative and incredible. I think it’s a shame this movie doesn’t get the praise that some of the well known slashers get. I think the MPAA’s decision to slash critical scenes truly hurt this movie’s legacy. True horror fans appreciate this film, but I truly believe it could have been more mainstream if it was originally shown how George Mihalka wanted it to be shown. This film will always have a special place in my heart (pun intended).
I really enjoy My Bloody Valentine, it is easily one of my top 10 favorite horror films! I think the original is better than the remake though I agree the remake was still very good! The killer is iconic and I prefer the look of the killer in the original than in the remake! I like the extended cut but I would really like for them to go back and really try and clean up the extended scenes to make them look the best they can be, though it sucks the negative for the double impalement scene went missing because I would really like to see that kill!
I agree about the look of the killer in the original. He's just grittier looking. Hell the whole movie looks gritty in the mine scenes. Perfection!
I loved the original my bloody valentine and the remake!!! If i had to pick which one i preferred better i would have to say the remake just because jensen ackles is just so great and just love him. I also liked it better bc the killer was different!!! I just loved the tom character so much that i was actually crushed when it was revealed that it was him bc i just loved tom and sarah together but ohh well
Excellent review lee!! I've only seen the 3d one which I enjoyed but damn these deaths scenes looked freak'n badass!!!!!
Awesome review, the intro with Elmo was awesome LOL. I can see your a true Horror fan you have the best taste. It was an honour to your Tag.I’ve just subbed to your channel👍!
Thanks man. Loved your video and subbed you too.
Love the original.
It's such a classic!
You are aces man I tell you I seen it when I was young and you did a good review awesome review
just finished this movie it was on tv, i liked it
It gets better with every watch. So much charm.
I LOVE the kills in this movie and it has some of the best kills in any slasher I have ever seen!
Especially Happy’s death. Man that was gruesome & gloriously nasty
you forgot the Spider-man scenes on the twin towers. That was fucking excellent visuals.
I was actually thinking of those too. I actually saw that trailer (or my wife did..I was deployed) in the theater before 9/11. Crazy.
Drumdums: What’s up, buddy? It’s Valentine’s Day again!
Me: It’s February 13th...
Great review, Lee! This is one of my favorite horror films of all time. When I did my list of top ten best horror movies, this was my number 10. This is an AWESOME slasher! And my rewatch was the extended cut which just looked beautiful just because of the kills! Again, great review of a great slasher film!
This one follows the “pick a day or holiday “ theme in the early 80s horror films (Friday 13, Halloween, April Fools ,,etc) & it works for me. I enjoyed this flick back in tha day & I am glad you reviewed it, great 👍🏻 video . Anywhoo, do you prefer the remake or the original??
L.A. Garza Love both but prefer the original.
Love this movie. I might be the only one but I found TJ to be really unlikable. First time I watched this I was siding with Axel. Defiantly one of the best 80's slasher films. There are quite a few I enjoy more but I still enjoy the hell out of this.
Yeah it's a great ride for sure. But I love all the characters immensely in this, especially Sarah...who is gorgeous!!
Next Valentines Day you should review the remake. I think it's one of the best remakes.
I'm planning just that.
i finally got the Scream Factory blu ray steelbook for My Bloody Valentine 1981 version and i order it online at WalMart and i'm glad that i finally own the movie now and i can add it to My Bloody Valentine 2009 remake and also Valentine 2001 slasher film
Great Review and cool movie takes me back to the good old days of going to the video store and looking in the Horror Section and picking up a few horror movies that i hadnt seen on VHS I have not seen this one in awhile need to dig it out and revisit it
I would LOVE to find this one on VHS. I bet that cover is glorious!

Love this one!
It's a classic!
Just finished watching this film for the very first time. I enjoyed it a lot. I'm so glad I watched the extended cut or the unrated cut. Some of the most creative kills I have ever seen in a slasher. Fun characters, minus the very annoying woman in red (idk her name) While I prefer the remake, it's still a killer time of a movie. Loved your review. 🤘
good video brother
Thank you good sir!
I love my Bloody Valentine I think I preferred the remake but this one is still one of the best slasher movies out there anyway you have a great day Lee and May the force be with you my good friend PS I love Elmo you should bring him into your videos more
Great review love this flick as well as the remake . I also was able to sell the Blu-ray for like 135 bucks ......... as he waits for the raid 2 review lol
I believe it. That blu-ray really spiked up in price.
Drumdums sure did it's why I sold it I bought for 3 bucks at a used video store so made a good profit ......tick tock tick tock lol u gonna review the ritual on Netflix
I'll give both MY BLOODY VALENTINE a shot both the 1981 and the 2009 remake.
Nice vid man
Thank you!
My favourite slasher ever
MBV rocks!!
Holy shit balls, I just realized I've never seen the original before. Are the unrated directors cut and extended cut the same thing?
Yes same thing. Get on it Mason!
I was surprised who the killer was when I first saw it also I always watch the original on valentine's day. 😀👍
Just watched this tonight for the first time cause I got my scream factory collectors edition today. I loved it I've concluded in my mind this is in my top 3 slashers of all time for sure! Ps I was watching the uncut version! One question are you gonna get the scream factory edition ? It has some really good special features!
My Scream Factory edition is on its way actually. Can't wait.
Just watched last night for the very first-time I thought it was pretty good, I like it!
Oh yeah. It gets better with each watch too.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews yeah I just got the remastered director's cut so I will be rewatching that in the near future!
Good review. I had the same thing with this movie as you did, the first time i watched it i thought it was okay but nothing special. Then i watched it a second time years later and i really liked it and still really liked it after multiple viewings. Good characters, story and kills. The love traingle indeed worked in this movie and the twist at the end is surprising. I liked that the killer was part of the group, but the ending did felt a little bit rushed. Other then that this is in my top 25 of best slashers and it is my favorite Valentine 's day movie haahaa
I love this movie so much this movie is an iconic slasher
Hell yeah. A classic in every sense.
Drumdums it is a CLASSIC in every sense
i remember it well! i was 14 years old!
So glad I picked up the blu-ray while it was in print.
I know that the steelbook of My Bloody Valentine from SF is great
Man I'm slacking on the originals, but on the positive I'm looking forward to checking them out. Great review Lee. Lol poor Elmo. That was funny
This is definitely a must watch in terms of 80s slashers.
Great review, but you got me worried about Elmo though :)
Shelby Begay 😂😂😂
8:07 Drumdums is awesome! 8:17
Here for you!
The original, firmly in my top 10 of all time. a shame all these greatest classics are so low print that they become so expensive within a short time. Keeping them from most collectors. The uncut of Halloween 6 is sitting at around 35+ on Ebay right now, just crazy and a shame, and then we give in to have them. Sounds like a plan from the distributors.
I liked this film a great deal. An eerie backstory, a poetic, taunting killer, and high emotional tension make this so much more than a typical slasher. The murders are hideous, especially Mabel's. I know the motive seems weak, but it really isn't considering Axel's temper and personality. He likely felt like no one gave a damn about his father's death when the party was announced, and decided to make a point, no pun intended.
hey lee have u heard of the new Child’s Play series if so what are your thoughts on it??
Yes I have. I'm not sure yet. We'll probably be discussing it on the next Scream Stream.
Both the remake and the original are really well done in their own ways. I saw the remake before this movie and it was because I enjoyed the remake I saw the original. I even showed the remake to my mother and we watched it, and she had a good time. She only hated one movie I ended up showing her and that was Dead Alive (Brain Dead for you Europeans.. Our Brain Dead Movie is another good classic that I love)
She found it too over the top... Ironic thing is, that when I showed her the original Evil Dead, she loved that movie. Mom admits to me that it doesn't make sense.
I love both of these movies...
This is def on level with friday the 13th. First movie. And wow if we would have a series.
did you know drumdums that they have a scream factory steelbook for this movie its $20 and also the regular version of the scream factory on blu ray for online at Walmart and probably on amazon too and i don't own this movie on blu ray i only brought it from PlayStation store digital i definitely got to own this movie since i enjoy this classic 1981 film of my bloody valentine
Great slasher film with good characters and atmosphere, and yes, uncut version is even better, even though it's not full original X rated cut of the film, some more extended gore shots are missing and entire double impalement scene in the mine.
Yeah I've heard about the legendary double impalement scene. The scenes were gruesome as hell!
I don't know if My Bloody Valentine (MBV) was stripped of it gore footage because of the shooting of John Lennon as much as it was because of Friday The !3th. I cannot remember where I got this info, but just know I am a slasher fan who grew up devouring Fangoria. Anyway. I attributed MBV getting hacked up due to Friday The 13th. As we all know F-13 set a new standard for special effects in horror. There was a backlash against the MPAA (they rates films here in the USA) when it came to the rating for F-13. Sp supposedly the next time a movie from Paramount Pictures came up for a rating, MBV, it paid the price and was punished for the sins of F-13. That is the story as I read it or heard it years ago, It makes sense. I think it might have even come from an interview on Fangoria with George Mihalka the Director of MBV. No matter what the truth is here, MY BLOODY VALENTINE is at the top of my list of faves. Only two movies top it. #1 Prom Night 1980, #2 Halloween 1978 #3 My Bloody Valentine
Love the new Blu-ray version. Watched an awful original cut on Pluto last night. Love ol happy bartender. Lol.
The uncut version is where its at.
This has to be one of my favorite stand alone slashers ! I love the setting of this , the cinematography , this is a very creepy movie the kills are AWESOME : the pickaxe through the eye , the shower kill , the nail gun kill , I really love wow the killer looks the gas mask killer is by far one of the scariest looking killers . I would give this movie a 9 .5/10 the only thing I do not like is the High School Musical love triangle
This has to be the most underrated slasher ever. And the uncut version is the only way to watch.
Hell. I love this movie. Maybee the best slasher from the early 80is. I understand why tarrantino loves this.its ofcourse not better then halloween and black christmas, but its better then Friday the 13th and its a shame it did not get a follow up. The kills ar great, the atmosphere is amazing, the legend about Harry warden is classic and on par with jason. So its a shame that it did not get a follow up. And i always like when the killer has a look, and he have. The extended Cut is the way.
Come Lee, TJ and Axel wanted each other so bad, not Sarah. Gotta love them Canadians. Fucking Nova Scotia is so gorgeous!
Oh yeah I'd love to visit Canada sometime. Mother Mayhem is supposed to give me a makeup session!
