    It feels nice with a slasher that seems a bit more grounded, the excessive kills excluded. I wonder if Wilford Brimley stole that magnificent moustache from Hollis-Shalit when he was killed.

    Best thing to ever come out of Valentine's Day!
    With death by shower pipe, an idiot snorting "coke" from a can, escape by arm decapitation, and a catchy ending theme, this film remains one of my favorite slashers of the 1980s!
    Also, it's nice to see the Cinema Snob give some love to the 3-D remake!

      My proudest thing is NS being the birthplace of cannabis in Canada 😆
      "Nova Scotia’s relationship with weed dates back to 1606, when a French botanist named Louis Hebért planted cannabis crops in Nova Scotia. He is widely considered the first apothecary and the first person to ever farm in Canada. That is likely when Canada was first introduced to weed."

    The dripping blood in the title! This one is right up there with 'Black Christmas' and 'Happy Birthday To Me' as a great character drama with a serial killer in the background:) I love how all of those decorations and the country music add to the middle-of-nowhere small-town-ness of Valentine Bluffs, and definitely how all of the characters DO come off as people who have grown up together, know each other too well, and are sick of each other;) But I do wish that Harry had actually been the killer so that TJ and Axel had to work together to stop him only for Axel to sacrifice himself so TJ and Sarah could escape...I love the way Happy tells the backstory and the whole scene of Mabel's death, and when Newby finds the "Be My Valentine!" note from her:( And Hollis, man, Hollis IS the man! The way he jumps in and THROWS Axel and TJ apart when they're fighting! Too bad he just HAD to go and let himself be talked into taking everyone down into the mine...and when Sarah was walking home in the dark, you can totally tell by how sweaty she is and how TJ smirks at Axel that, yeah, they were DOIN' it;)

    I always remember when the remake came out because I went to see Coraline that night and it was showing in the theater next to me. It must have started a bit earlier because I could hear people screaming right before Coraline started. There were six of us watching Coraline but the theater for My Blood Valentine 3D was PACKED.

    I always have loved the characters in slasher movies you like, the fat mustached guy who dies in my bloody valentine, the guys in wheelchairs in texas chainsaw and friday the 13th part 2, all three of them and more have always seemed like the most natural actors in their respective films, the most true to life. For me that makes me hate when they get killed. Probably also helps they were nobodies cast to semi major roles in movies so it was most likely their personality while reading lines.

  • @WileECoyoder
    @WileECoyoder 2 роки тому +4

    I saw this for the first time this past October and thought it was surprisingly competent for an 80s slasher. The mine made for an eerie horror atmosphere, the miner gear and pick-axe added to the creepiness of the killer, and the acting was overall not *too* bad.
    If I have one complaint, it's that the Valentines gimmick was wholly unnecessary and felt really forced in the first half; make it just a movie about a mining town and not a place called "Valentine Bluffs" that loves that holiday, and then I think it's a little more focused.

    Saw the remake on opening night and it was wild! People were cheering and screaming, at all the cool parts! Definitely my favorite 3D movie experience.
    I love the original too and actually find the quality change, (for the previously deleted scenes) adds to the tension! It's similar to those old "Shock notices" that some VHS releases had in the 80's. Anytime those popped up, you knew something scary was coming!
    Good times :)
    Cheers.

    I think the first time I saw this was on Commander USA's Groovy Movies on a Saturday afternoon. Even for being the cut version, the gore was pretty realistic and sickening. I still remember when they were carting out the laundry lady, the sheriff stops them, pulls back the blanket and _reaches into her chest cavity_ to pull out a bloody valentine.
