Review of My Bloody Valentine (1981) by Katley M — 23 Feb 2009

First of all I am reviewing the uncut addition that came out this year that the MPAA didn't get to put their claws into. And if you ask "Whats the difference"? Let me tell you there is a huge difference.

My Bloody Valentine definitely fell into the typical 80's slasher category but in my opinion its extensive use of top notch effects made it so much better. Yes, in this you get gore non stop top of the line gore.

The acting was surprisingly good. Usually in a low budget movie if you get really good gore you get bottom of the barrel acting this movie shows that you can have both phenomenal gore and good acting.

But other than the gore one of my favorite aspects of this movie was the way that it was shot. The cinema photography in this was perfect. And of course it can't go without being said that My Bloody Valentine has one of the coolest slasher movie killers to date.

The gas mask and the mining axe are simply perfection. The only thing that I disliked about this was it had a few slow moments. But in my opinion its worth a few slow moments. If you are ready to see one of the best slasher movies to make it out of the 80's then go get this one.

Definitely worth a check.
