Movie Review - 'My Bloody Valentine 3-D'

Starring Jaime King, Jensen Ackles, and Kerr Smith  |
If you're going to see My Bloody Valentine, see it in 3-D. Hands down, this horror movie remake is
the best 3-D I've ever seen in a live action film. Yes, it has those silly 3-D moments, where pickaxes come
hurtling through the screen and when mirrors are punched we see it from the other side of the glass, but
this is as close as we've come to realizing what the technology should be. And, boy, does this full-on bloodbath take
full advantage of it. There are some grade-A killshots in this movie that probably aren't nearly as impressive without the benefit of 3-D.
In Harmony County, a fictional place hammered by fixed incomes and poor prospects and forever bound to the
outdated town mines, an accident once claimed several miners trapped after a collapse. But it wasn't the
collapse that killed them. It was Harry Warden. Took out all his fellow miners with a pickaxe before winding
up in a coma himself. Without warning, Warden snaps out of his coma and picks up where he left off, killing
22 on Valentine's Day.
Spared from Warden's spike were a group of teenagers, who ten years after the fact have to face down the old
demons once again.
At the time, Tom (Jensen Ackles) was going steady with Sarah (Jaime King) and Axel (Kerr Smith) was dating
Irene (Betsy Rue). But Tom, whose father owned the mine and who was linked to the accident that caused the
initial mine collapse, fled town immediately after the killings. Sarah wound up with Axel, who wound up
becoming the sheriff of Harmony County.
And ten years to the day, a killing spree starts again. Tom has just returned from parts unknown to finally
sell his father's troubled mine to give himself a fresh start. Naturally, he's a suspect. But who isn't?
Even Harry Warden is under suspicion, and he's been dead the whole time.

Awsome 3D graphics and one of the few films that actually made me jump. I'll be buying this on DVD.
I Hyped My Bloody valentine on Everhype and gave it 93% which I think is fairly accurate.
