My Bloody Valentine 3D [MERGED]

[fceurich39]

couldn't find a new link so here it is the awesome 3D trailer for the my bloody valentine remake it looks awesome i just hope lionsgate doesn't screw up a nationwide release like they did with midnight meat train

http://www.dreadcentral.com/story/my-bloody-valentine-trailer

[zompirejoe]

That actually looks like it might be a lot of fun.Probably won't play in 3D in my neck of the woods.

[rhett]

I'm sure the trailer will be attached to SAW V tonight, so I'll wait for it then. Here's the new poster though...IN 3-D!!!!!!!!

http://horrordigital.com/vb3forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=4998&stc=1&d=1224870255

The movie is opening even earlier than expected - January 16th, 2009. I'm so there.

[Hellbilly]

Looks cool and nothing like Lionsgate's Night Of The Living Dead 3-D, thank god ;)

[Angelman]

Looks fun.

[SaviniFan]

I'll be damned. That looks really good. It appears they took the film seriously. Here's to hoping the movie actually lives up to the trailer.

[vampyr789]

the poster reminds of an old B movie, but it looks awesome!! Between this and the F13th remake are the two movies are looking forward to next year.

[Bobbywoodhogan]

Looks good, cannot wait. this in January, Friday the 13th in Feb :D

[VideoViolence]

This one actually looks/sounds awesome. Great trailer, too!! Now, if only we could get an UNCUT dvd release of the original. But I think hell would freeze over first.

[Harry Warden]

I cannot wait! Watched the trailer and it looks kickass!!

[evildeadfan123]

I am soooo looking forward to the remake of My Bloody Valentine in 3D. The trailer is awesome. And Jensen Ackles, Oh My God. When I heard he was going to be in My Bloody Valentine, that already sold me on going to see this movie, and when I saw the trailer, I am going to have to see this more than once, on January 16th. Then, on February 13th, Friday the 13th Remake with Jared Padalecki.

[Mark Relford]

It does look like fun. More 3-D movies, please!

[Mutilated Prey]

2009 is getting off on the right foot, that's for sure. What are we getting in March? A MadMan remake? :D

[indiephantom]

I love 3-D. When I think about it, maybe that's the direction some of the other recent remakes should have gone to be more interesting. I mean, HALLOWEEN 3-D would have been cool.

But the killer in MY BLOODY VALENTINE always looked just great, and this does look fun as hell.

[MorallySound]

Hell yes! That trailer was awesome. We just got the 3-D system installed in one of the theatres here a couple months ago, haven't seen anything in it yet, but at least I'll get to see this in 3-D and I can't wait!

[fceurich39]

2009 is getting off on the right foot, that's for sure. What are we getting in March? A MadMan remake? :D

2009 is shaping up to be a great year for horror movies not sure about the madman remake but i do know the stepfather remake is supposed to be coming in 2009 as well as hellraiser remake and terror train also as well as 4 very delayed pushed back movies hopefully see the light of day theatrically or direct to dvd

Trick R Treat
Midnight Meat Train
Amusement
The Poughkeepsie Tapes

[YottNik]

Generally speaking, I hate remakes but I won't lie, I'm somewhat psyched for the Friday the 13th and MBV remakes.

[rhett]

Great trailer, and best of all this looks really old school. The way that old lady looked definitely harked back to the laundromat lady and her death. And that one line, I can't remember, but it sounded just like they used to do in the old school slashers before they became all hip. A sort of "What are you doing out here in this mess?" sort of death bringing question. The killer looks great, the 3-D effects in the trailer fun, and everything about it seemed like it was picking up right where FRIDAY THE 13TH, PART 3 left off twenty five years ago.

Normally, I'd be pissed about it not debuting on Valentines weekend, but with FRIDAY THE 13TH in its place, and this bumped up a month, how can I complain?

[indiephantom]

Generally speaking, I hate remakes but I won't lie, I'm somewhat psyched for the Friday the 13th and MBV remakes.

Agreed. They finally have me right where they want me. :lol:

[maskull]

Cool. The killer looks like the actual killer. That's good enough for me.

...and Jaime King.

[Paul0889]

2009 is gonna kick ass. January we get my bloody valentine 3D, february we get friday the 13th, and march we apparently get the last house on the left remake

[DeathDealer]

Lets just hope their good.

Hey guys, do you think that since this remake is making its way very soon, it will spark Paramount to re-release the originial on DVD? Maybe UNCUT.

[rhett]

Lets just hope their good.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

We won't even get an "I Love the 80s!" re-release from them, let alone anything resembling uncut.

[fattyjoe37]

I wasn't incredibly impressed with the trailer. One thing that bothers me is the killer seems supernatural based on the trailer, as opposed to a normal human slasher like in the original. Much preferred the Friday the 13th trailer.

[Kolpitz]

... and terror train also as well ...

I hear Train is absolute garbage.

[othervoice1]

Apparently in my town of Fort Wayne Indiana they are having an advance screening of the My Bloody Valentine 3-D next Thursday night- I am feeling the urge to have to check this out.....This past Thursday Friday the 13th was in the movie guide with one time slot at night too so my guess is that was an advance screening of the remake as well??? I didnt see it until it was actually Thursday night and I couldnt go- dang I wish I would hear about this stuff earlier and Carmike Theatres website has no info on these screenings either - man im still mad I missed that F13 advance screening in town....

[othervoice1]

Oh and Fandango did have this much listed about the new movie:
My Bloody Valentine 3-D
Opens January 16, 2009
R - graphic brutal horror violence and grisly images throughout, some strong sexuality graphic nudity and language

Okay I have to see this Thursday now.....

[VideoViolence]

Paramount release an UNCUT MBV? Hell would freeze over first!!

[Horrorphilly]

When I first saw the trailer I thought it wasnt that great and I didnt like the fast cut edits but I have to take into consideration that they are apart of todays horror movies.The Trailer is starting to grow on me and looks really interesting.Im not sure on who any of the actors are but I'll be there sometime on opening weekend to see it.

[Kolpitz]

The original My Bloody Valentine is in my Top 5 Slasher Films of All Time but that hasn't stopped me from being excited about this remake. Despite most people's hate of Jason X, I've always dug it and this remake was written by Todd Farmer, as well. The trailer's great and the R-Rating sure is re-assuring. Also, you can't go wrong with Jensen Ackles in the lead. I've been a fan since Dark Angel and I love Supernatural. This is shaping up, to me, to be better than the Friday the 13th remake. I don't like the way Jason runs after the girl at the end of the trailer. There's just something ... off ... about it. But, with Jared Padalecki starring (and Friday the 13th being my favorite slasher series), I'll be there opening weekend. Two slasher remakes, two Supernatural stars, two awesome months.

[Zombie Dude]

Ha. Ha. Ha.

We won't even get an "I Love the 80s!" re-release from them, let alone anything resembling uncut.

Paramount release an UNCUT MBV? Hell would freeze over first!!

I think it's possible, I mean we are getting an uncut Friday the 13th release, why not MBV?

[spawningblue]

Trailer was awesome! Although, I don't know how well this will play when it hits DVD. Looks like there will be lots of weapons hitting the screen and such, hopefully they don't over use it like Friday 3D did, and have yo yo's and stuff hitting the screen. Either way, I will be first in line when it hits theatres!

I only saw the original a few months back for the first time and I loved it. Wish they'd release it uncut, think I'd put it in my top 5 slashers.

[Zombie Dude]

Looks like we'll be getting some boxed heart goodness:

[Cheesy Residue]

Yikes! Pretty moist n' meaty, eh? I'm really looking forward to this one, and the trailer makes it seem as if our excitement might be well-placed. The original is one of my all-time favorite slashers, and this looks to possibly be a worthy tribute.

[Myron Breck]

Fuck. I hate to admit it...the 3-D angle has me truly interested in seeing this in a theatre. FUCK.

[Zombie Dude]

Just embrace it.:D

[Wayne]

Trailer looks really good..can't wait to see the movie now!

[rhett]

Considering the remake hits theaters in 10 days from now, Lionsgate is amping up the promotion with this cool little "videogram":

http://www.youtube.com/user/MyBloodyValentine3D

Send it to someone you love.

I can't wait to see this, all the Oscar movies will have to wait.

[zompirejoe]

It looks like I will have to drive two or three hours(one way) to get to see this in 3D. That's not going to happen. I will see it anyway, but I know it won't be as much fun. The closest nice theater we have is half an hour away, and they won't have 3D capabilities until March .

[onebyone]

I am going to have to go way out of my way to catch this one in 3D too, and I am so going to do it. I did the same for Journey to the Center of the Earth, and thought that one was a whole lot of fun and totally worth it. No way I miss seeing this one at the same place.

[Kolpitz]

I'll have to stay after work on the 15th and run it down in 3-D. It's gonna be difficult. :D

Thanks that review has amped up the hype, especially this part..

There's at least one cool dimensional highlight per reel, and the movie piles on so much gore that you have to wonder what the MPAA saw before VALENTINE that made them so jaded that they gave this one a pass. It’s delightfully old-school in the blood-’n’-guts department
:banana:

Sounds fantastic and especially worth the trek to catch it in 3D.

[spawningblue]

Nice! I am for sure seeing this in 3-D. I think I only have to drive about an hour, which in ym opinion is so worth it!

[BillyJeans28]

i saw the trailer to this movie too...it seems pretty exciting...wouldnt mind watching this movie in 3D...cant wait for it to come out

[fceurich39]

it looks like my theater is getting it in 3D i just checked www.cinemark.com

[spawningblue]

Ha. Ha. Ha.

:lol: This is funny. I guess Hell has frozen over!

[Kolpitz]

It looks like Lionsgate is rolling this bad boy out a little bit early! I just found out at work that we're going to be showing a 10:00 PM showing next Thursday (1/15) but only at theatres showing it in 3-D (2-D will have to wait until opening day). So, if your theatre is showing it in 3-D, check their listings. They should have the 10 o'clock show. Hopefully, this means that I can run it down on Wednesday night then.

[spawningblue]

Two more positive reviews are up.

[philxus]

Cool Trailer! Last horror movie i watch in 3D in a theater was FRIDAY THE 13th Part 3 Back in the 80`s in Time Square NYC.

[VideoViolence]

Guaranteed the theater in my town will only be getting the 2-D version. I'll have to check around for a place in MA or RI that's gonna be carrying it.

[Marv Inc.]

This is out on the 16th in the uk, gonna try and see it.

[Kolpitz]

I got to check this out with my girlfriend and a couple of friends last night, and I think my girlfriend and I were the only ones who enjoyed it. Even though I liked it, even I can admit that all it has going for it are the 3-D, the kills, Tom Atkins and Jensen Ackles (and, if you're not a fan of Supernatural then it doesn't even have that). The 3-D is pretty amazing and it's great to see how far this technology has come since the age of Friday the 13th, Part 3-D. Like that film (and it's 80's brethren), My Bloody Valentine 3-D has lots of shots and scenes with objects flying at the camera, pointed at the camera or in front of the camera. It'll be interesting to see how bad these are in the 2-D format. What's disappointing about the 3-D is that the filmmakers never really utilized the Real-D aspect of it for suspense. The added depth perception really could've added to the claustrophobia of the mine but I never felt like it was used to its potential. For me, anyway, the best part of the film was the kills and this was clearly the area that the filmmakers focused their attentions on. Gary Tunnicliffe's effects work is exceptional but is oftentimes marred by meddlesome CGI to "enhance" the effects. Then we get to Atkins and Ackles. It was great to see ol' Tom back on the horror scene and he's classic Atkins here, delivering a "Happy fucking Valentine's Day!" line with gusto. Ackles is also solid as the only character to really care about although he finds it hard to shed his "Dean Winchester" persona for the entire running time.

Where the film really lacks is in comparison to the original My Bloody Valentine. Aside from Ackles's Tom Hanniger, the characters are rather unlikeable and interchangeable. The greatest asset of the original was its characters. They were real, likable, developed and, for the most part, distinguishable from each other. It's ironic that Mihalka mentions in the interviews that he wanted his character to be different from the blank slates that passed for characters in the other 80's slasher movies and then the remake settles for just that. Also missing is the suspence, atmosphere and pacing from the original. This film is in no way scary and "Harry Warden" isn't nearly as intimidating. Also, they totally blow their use of the mine setting by barely using it to its claustrophobic effect. And, the last comparison I can make to the original is in the "holiday" itself. Valentine's Day permeates itself throughout that film whereas the remake barely mentions it. Aside from a news report telling you it's Valentine's Day and a couple of boxes of chocolate, there's little in the film that makes you feel like it's Valentine's Day.

Lastly, the ending ... oy ... the ending.

Do you remember Fight Club? Well, so does every filmmaker since and, once again, they pull it out for this one. The one likeable character, Tom, is revealed to be the killer but he didn't know it! He saw Harry Warden killing all those people! Give me a break. This was tired 10 years ago, get over it and move on.

If it sounds like I'm being overly negative, I suppose I am but I DID like the movie for what it was. If you go in knowing that it is what it is, a 3-D movie with cool kills and a killer Atkins / Ackles combo, then you'll enjoy it but you won't walk away feeling like you've seen a great movie, or even a good movie. Because this isn't a good movie. Like other reviews have said, it's nothing much more than you average direct-to-DVD slasher movie. However, if you go in expecting anything even remotely resembling the quality of the original film, you'll be nothing but disappointed.

3-D Version - ***1/2
2-D Version - **1/2

[spawningblue]

I have a question about the theaters showing it in 3D. Are they all the same? As long as I find a theater that says Digital 3D then it will be the best way to see it? Or are their certain theaters that show 3D better?

Pretty much is there just 3D or no 3D, or are there like IMAX theaters that make the 3D work better?

I'm not sure about the whole IMAX thing (or even if it's coming to IMAX ... I don't think it is) but if it's at a regular theatre, it should be the same no matter what theatre it is. The digital projector needs to be equipped with Real-D in order to play the film in 3-D but I suppose there could be quality differences between different projectors.

[eric_angelus]

The further I get away from this movie the less I like it. I found the performances to be absolutely awful...with the only exception being the great Tom Atkins. This movie really missed the point of the original entirely, with the two most important elements of the story, Valentines Day and The Hanniger Mine taking a backseat (The teen party in the mine that was the central setting to the original takes place all in a short opening sequence...and there is about 10 minutes in the rest of the film set in the mine shafts...and the fact that it is Valentines Day does not matter) to a silly hyperactive freakshow of a movie where the film makers just seem determined to put a pick axe through either the top or the bottom of every characters skull as quickly as possible. The entire movie has a cheap, shot on video look...and honestly feels more like a bad theme park ride than an actual movie. Plus there is a just painful sequence involving a naked women, a midget in cowboy boots, and a bare assed trucker that even further cements the feeling.

[evildeadfan123]

I just got back from seeing a special 10:00 P.M. Screening of My Bloody Valentine 3D. It was pretty good, but the original was a little better. I still recommend seeing My Bloody Valentine 3D. It has 2 things going for it: 1.) Horror Movie, and 2.)Jensen (Dean Winchester) Ackles.

[drown021]

The wife and I just got back from seeing this in theatres and we both thought it was pretty cool. The 3D was simply awesome,no more of the red/blue glasses. I wouldn't recommend seeing it without the 3D though,the movie itself wasn't that great and without the 3D effect's I probably would have gotten bored. I've never seen the original so I don't know how it compares. Anyway, I WOULD recommend seeing this in 3D at a theatre.This has to be the best 3D movie I've seen.Whatever the realD technology is,I thought it was pretty cool.

[boycrieswolf]

Saw it last night too and it was totally worth it in my opinion...not better than the original of course, but the 3-D viewing is just awesome...seeing it with a lively audience only elevated the appeal for me...it's not great by any means, but the 3-D really makes it all worth it. Tha acting is okay...nothing to write home about and downright embarassing in a handful of emotional scenes. Overlook that though, and what you're left with is very gory and inventive kills, (fans of the original will be pleased to hear that some of the fx sequences are upgrades of gore shots that were excised from the 1981 original) gratuitous nudity, breathtaking 3-D effects, and some seriously funny intentional humor...oh yeah, and Tom "thrill me" Atkins is in it too, but not nearly enough...all in all, I had a really good time with this on the big screen. If you're gonna see it, make sure you see it in 3-D with a fun crowd. Something tells me it won't be nearly as fun on dvd without the added benefit of 3-D technology. :banana:

[fceurich39]

lionsgate will release a 2D version of this on dvd and maybe a 3D version as well but will probably be blue and red but then again i hear the upcoming friday the 13th part 3D dvd glasses are clear?

[Cardiac Tom]

I just got back and I enjoyed it...The 3D was fun...And it did deliver on the gore...

I had some problems with it (Same with Kolpitz--see his spoiler tab if you want to know) but overall I was satisfied...

I like the original better, but this was not bad as far as remakes go...I didn't find it to be insulting to the original...I feel most of the newer remakes are...

[mclay18]

While this is a completely random tangent, I know Betsy Rue gets naked for a five-minute scene while being stalked by the killer, but is there a sex scene immediately before that?

There was one in the first film too, so...

[bigdaddyhorse]

The clear 3D glasses are a newer technogy that most are moving in.
When I checked Journey to the Center of the Earth out from the library it didn't have any glasses with it, so I dug out my old red/blue glasses from Freddy's Dead (dvd and one pair of theater), but they didn't work at all with the new shit.

[spawningblue]

Going to check this out tonight! Hopefully it's not sold out, although I plan on getting there an hour or two early.

[KillerCannabis]

I went to the premiere last week and I thought it was a lot of fun, cliched as it was. I put a review up in the Reader Reviews forum for those interested.

[vampyr789]

damn it!!! i cant go tonite b/c my friend cancelled on me.... :cry:
im really sad now!! ill probably see it next weekend.:(

hey, to everyone who is seeing it tonight, have fun...:o

Fearnet interview with Tom Atkins discussing the remake SPOILER WARNING:

http://www.fearnet.com/news/b14330_exclusive__we_speak_with_bloody_horror.html

[fceurich39]

just got back and it was pretty good the first showing here was sold out after i left the theater i looked up and had a sold out sign during the showtimes of the movie

[evildeadfan123]

I saw it last night at 10:00 P.M. and Tom Atkins really looks good. He looks about how he looked in Night Of The Creeps. I did want to see Tom Atkins, but the main actor that I wanted to see was Jensen Ackles.

[kiddo]

I saw it last night too. The 3D was really neat, but the story was very weak.
I also wanted to see what all the fuss was concerning this Jensen Ackles guy. I've never seen Supernatural, but Jensen seems to have a lot of fans because of it. Frankly, I found him dull and boring.

[ReelFear]

Just got back from the theater. Here's my thoughts...

The original is better, just in case there was any doubt.
But... The 3D is great, the movie is VERY VERY bloody, and differs alot from the original, so it will stand on it's own in the future. I don't think i will like it as much in 2D, so I hope the DVD comes with glasses.
I got great seats at the theater, snuck in a couple of 24 oz beers, and was entertained for 2 hours. I have no complaints.
When the dust settles, though, It will be the UNCUT 1981 version I will continue to be revisiting year after year, not the remake.

This pretty much mirrors my thoughts exactly. The remake was a fun romp, though I don't know how it'll hold up in 2D. Still, it's worth seeing for the fun 3D effects. Plus, you get to wear the dorky glasses!

[old-boo-radley]

My buddy reviewed it, if anyone wants to check out another opinion!

http://www.oh-the-horror.com/page.php?id=473

Seems to live up to the hype well enough writer Todd Farmer created for it back when we interviewed him. I won't be able to see it in 3-D here though. :(

[rhett]

Great fun, just what I was hoping for. Plenty of homages to both the original MBV and to the Friday the 13th lore (no surprise, given Todd Farmer's involvement), and Tom Atkins gave it a touch of class. The 3D effects were all awesome; they were more than just a wavering gimmick - virtually every single shot in the film was effectively utilizing the third dimension in some form or another. I had no qualms with the ending, either - it was classic psychological slasher stuff. If anything, I admired the story for staying so true to the classic slasher tropes. It lagged a bit after the middle, but the rousing climax more than made up for it. Fun fun fun. But where's the Moosehead beer?

Also, stay through the credits for a one last 3D surprise!

[drown021]

While this is a completely random tangent, I know Betsy Rue gets naked for a five-minute scene while being stalked by the killer, but is there a sex scene immediately before that?

There was one in the first film too, so...

Yep.....

[promnight13]

This remake, sadly, was only so-so in my opinion.

The 3-D was very good but the story dragged on and the "fun" that was established early on in the first 30 mins. of the movie petered out into a love triangle that I did not care for. Bad acting (excluding Tom Atkins) and Jensen Ackles very fake deep voice also stopped this from being a classic. That being said, I'll still buy the 2-D version on DVD as there were some great kills/gore.

[NaturesMistake]

Did anyone recognize the shower death set up in the end? All the minor suits started to fall around our main girl, and then she turns and looks at the minor staring at her. The angle then goes to her face (lightened by his mining cap), and I was waiting for him to grab her by the face, then she ran off. How could they leave that kill off of the movie and honor "Happy's" death from the original twice? It was still a fun B movie.

[Lenny]

If you like slasher flicks this one you will enjoy!I want with my friend and he did not like it,But he,s really not into slasher flicks.I was wondering why the 3-d did not come right into your face.But it looked like watching a live show.All in all i thought it was a good movie.And i think watching it in 2-d will be just as good.Enjoy

[lakini71]

Saw it yesterday, and pretty much got what I expected. It's a fun 3-D slasher film, nothing more, nothing less. I thought it was about on par with the original, and Jensen Ackles is just as bad an actor as Paul Kelman.

[Suicide]

Anyone care to spoilerize the first few minutes for me? The theater we saw it in kind of screwed us so we got in there late. First off the directions to the theater (from the theater's site) told us to turn left when we were supposed to turn right, that screwed us up for about 10 minutes. But even still, we managed to get there 10 minutes before showtime. The movie "starts" at 8. When I buy the tickets the guy says "For the 8, right?" We get in the theater at like 7:54 and I hear Tom Atkins talking, we've missed all of the previews and several minutes of the movie. So we run in and grab our seats and we are pretty much right in the middle of the action. I don't think we missed too many minutes of it - there were still a few credits popping at when we sat down - but if someone could fill me in on what I missed that would be great. The first part I saw was right around the shovel scene.

We get in the theater at like 7:54 and I hear Tom Atkins talking, we've missed all of the previews and several minutes of the movie. So we run in and grab our seats and we are pretty much right in the middle of the action. I don't think we missed too many minutes of it - there were still a few credits popping at when we sat down - but if someone could fill me in on what I missed that would be great. The first part I saw was right around the shovel scene.

Pretty much all that you missed was a prolonged CGI sequence of news paper clippings about the original Harry Warden murders with a voice over narration and some short clips of him hacking up the other miners in the mine before the 'collapse'. You didn't miss a whole lot.

As you can tell, saw this one tonight. The 3-D was pretty awesome, but as noted by a few other people, the movie overall was just so-so. I really didn't care for the first third of the movie, the second third was decent, and then it sunk back down in the last third. Still, worth seeing in the theatre if you can catch the 3-D version, and it did hold up in the kills and gore, but still just a very average slasher film. *** out of *****

Fun fact: Todd Farmer, the co-screenwriter, has a cameo in the movie as Frank the Trucker, the guy who tapes his quickie with Irene, and then dies just as quickly. Also, check out an interview with him at Oh, the Horror! http://www.oh-the-horror.com/page.php?id=312

I went to see this tonight, and found it to be pretty cool. Not great but I didn;t feel like I flushed $

Okay cool, thanks for letting me know. I didn't think I missed much, but I just wanted to make sure.

[spawningblue]

Did anyone recognize the shower death set up in the end? All the minor suits started to fall around our main girl, and then she turns and looks at the minor staring at her. The angle then goes to her face (lightened by his mining cap), and I was waiting for him to grab her by the face, then she ran off. How could they leave that kill off of the movie and honor "Happy's" death from the original twice? It was still a fun B movie.

Don't forget the tribute to Mabel's washing machine death.

[killit]

ha! I liked this better than the original! The washing machine thing did justice. The actor playing tom now is fucking hot! 3d was pretty decent and sometimes amazing! Campy but good, would watch again. but it'll suck if the 3d doesnt work on video

[Bobbywoodhogan]

I saw it in 2D, it wasnt showing here in 3D anywhere in Leeds (UK). Still loved it in 2D.

BTW can anyone tell me what happened after the end credits, apparantley there was a suprise after the credits?

[YottNik]

There were several nods and winks to the original, I thought.

The dryer scene.

The mining uniforms falling from the ceiling.

The pickaxe through the chin a couple of times ala Happy's murder.

The naked chick hiding under the bed while watching the one woman get killed was reminiscent of Axel's flashback to watching his Dad get killed while hiding under the bed.

The scene where Tom and Sarah are on the bridge by the water emoting over their relationship seemed just like TJ and Sarah's same conversation on the bluffs by the water.

The miner smashing the lights with the pickaxe.
Anyone notice some others?

[YottNik]

BTW can anyone tell me what happened after the end credits, apparantley there was a suprise after the credits?
The miner shows up and swings the pickaxe at the audience. Looked cool in 3-D but nothing mind blowing.

[baggio]

Here's a question?

Do they hint on who the killer is throughout the movie? In other words , do they do that stupid long pause by some actor or a strange look (to make it look like he's the guy) Or is it assumed by the characters in the movie that the killer is Harry Warden the whole time. (like the original) Not one character in the original ever thought different, and nor did the movie give any hints whatsoever to the viewers to think otherwise.

They basically play it up that it's either Harry or one of two other characters in the movie. They mix it up throughout to try to throw the audience off trying to fool us. FWIW, I didn't know the true killer til it was revealed but I'm usually terrible at guessing those kinds of things. Your mileage may vary.

So another words the didn't follow what was great about the first. The first did nothing to throw anybody off because the audience never thought to think different than what the characters told us. That...Harry Warden has come back to kill everybody.

[Workshed]

Great 3D effects! I was really impressed by how cool MBV3D looked throughout. The rest was fairly silly stuff but fun in the right theater atmosphere. I'll never watch it again, but wish there were more 3D experienceslike this.

Yeah I didn't either. I thought it was the other one of the two.

It is good man, original is better ob. But its cool dodgein pick axes gettin throwin at yea

[scott71670]

Called my closest chain movie theater and they're not showing it in 3d. Bummer...

[cjg]

the 12 theater complex in my town isnt showing it in 3d either have to go 60 miles to the nearest town showing it no thanks

[Dave]

I saw it today. Before I read through this thread and get potentially jaded, my thoughts:

Fun flick! Great 3D effects and lots of gore. Not much of a story but who cares? It's a slasher and it delivered the goods. Hope to see a sequel.

[fceurich39]

some info on the plans for the dvd release

While speaking with My Bloody Valentine 3D director Patrick Lussier this weekend, we asked him about the film's upcoming DVD release, and he let slip some intriguing details...


Can we expect to see the more extreme version on the DVD?

Probably not. You don’t need to see it. The one thing that was much longer that we cut down was the sex scene. That, I believe, will be on the DVD. It might be an Easter egg – you might have to find it, but it will be there.

What else can we expect on the DVD?

Todd Farmer – the writer and the actor who plays Frank – and I did an audio commentary track. There are about 30 minutes or so of deleted scenes, an alternate cut of the ending, extended scenes, deleted scenes from throughout. A couple of Easter eggs, one involving Tom Atkins [who plays Burke] that is awesome. If you find it, it is beautiful.

Will the DVD be in 3D?

I believe it will be in 3D and 2D, yes. They are still sorting out all the technical details.

So far they are some nice specs.I enjoyed this movie alot and I will welcome the dvd to my collection.

[fattyjoe37]

This was mediocre throughout. The acting and writing were terrible, but the kill scenes were good. Only worth seeing in a theater in 3D.

[spawningblue]

That's how I flet, not a terrible movie, but just kind of blah. Take away the 3-D and the gore and you have nothing left, unlike the original, that without those, still is amazing!

[Dave]

Anyone know what the budget was on this? It's already up to 30mil so I imagine it's bound to make a profit and get a sequel.

[WesReviews]

Finally broke down and saw the 2-D version last night. LOVED IT. It does kind of lose steam toward the end, but man...what a fun, solid slasher flick. Easily the best remake in a long while. I was surprised at how much was kept from the original flick... subtle stuff like Sarah working at the grocery store, etc. Made me smile. Can't wait to see it in 3-D next weekend. :)

[Buddusky]

Good remake but the 3D made it a great view in the cinema. :D

[spawningblue]

I was wondering this myself. I think on Wikipedia it says 20 million, but I don't know how accurate that is. I'm down with a sequel though!

[Mark Relford]

Saw this on opening day and enjoyed it quite a bit. The 3-D effects were very cool. Atkins' death was the best. His torn jaw flying at you. I also liked when our "hero", Tom was locked in the cage. It felt like I was in there with him. The one minus is that I was concentrating more on the effects than the movie!

[othervoice1]

I am finally going to get to see this in 3-D this thursday night- really looking forward to it-from most of the reviews I have read the movie is decent and the 3-D makes a really fun experience at the theatre.

[j tea]

maybe i havent seen too many modern horror movies, but i was surprised this wasnt rated nc17, the gore was pretty crazy, especially the hospital scene, and beaucoup pickaxes to the skull, and also a fully frontal nude woman running around for what felt like 15 minutes (was probably only 2 minutes).

i also found it confusing that the blond girl who meets the shovel in the opening sequence was not axel's girlfriend. bad editing in not introducing her at all?

[x666x]

Just saw it. It is exactly what it was supposed to be. Nice and violent. The
3D technology worked great as well. They definitely respected the horror audience with how violent it was, while not trying too hard to weigh it down with an attempt at a story.

[vampyr789]

i just saw it tonight, though not a great movie by any means, it was so fun!! some of the deaths were just plain awesome (the eyeball & jaw ripping) the 3D looked great too! 4 stars! :)

[Spit]

I just got back from this. The 3D effects make this movie totally tits.

[baggio]

Saw it. It was alright and it stands on its own. Really nothing like the original. The mine was an after thought in this version, vs the original where the mine was another character in the movie. They tried too hard to make a "who the killer was" And it was completely obvious from the start. It's one of those its so obvious that it's exactly what you think it is trick. The original hinted NOTHING. The whole time it was supposed to be Harry Warden. Not in this remake. They had the suspicious looks, music, etc... all making you think , oh maybe he's the guy.

Too bad the makers of this version didn't have the guts to name it My Bloody Valentine Part II. Because that's basically what it is. Except for the "concept" its a totally different movie. Why didn't they just call it part 2? Because then nobody would have seen it. Slap on 3-D and use the original title and you have a decent hit. All they had to do is take it from the original ending. Change a couple of names, and bang... there's your part 2.

Think about it, everything except the names and fact there's a mine is different. The reason for the killing, the locations, etc.. very different. Which all backups my point. Why the remake? Just do a part 2.

The film on its own had plenty of violence. Plenty of cgi blood. A couple of "that's impossible" scenes. Ex: How do you swing a pickaxe from inside a truck. I don't think so. Other than that, it was pretty good , but I wish they just made a part 2.

[othervoice1]

I FINALLY saw this today - I thought the movie on its own was decent but it really benefits from the 3-D. I wonder when this gets released on dvd and blu-ray if it will come with 3-D glasses? Anyways this was one that greatly benefited from the 3-D and anyone who misses seeing it that way in the theatre is really missing out. Id grade it a C or C- on its own and a solid B with the 3-D at the theatre. For comparison Id rate the original a B+ with all the cuts or A- with some of the cut scenes added back in on the dvd.

[Harry Warden]

I finally saw this last night. LOVED IT! 10/10. It did depart from the original but also paid homage to the original as well. BTW, it was filmed in Kittanning, Pennsylvania -not too far from me. Kittanning is becoming a regular hotbed for horror films. The Mothman Prophecies was also filmed there.

[_pi_]

So, I was impressed with the 3D (my first experience with "true 3D" and it looked mighty fine, although my eyes were a little sore afterwards).

I thought the prolonged nude-stalk scene was fun in a trashy kinda way.

Aaaaand that's about where all the good stuff ends. This was absolutely dreadful. Wasn't boring, but I'm thinking that had more to do with the 3D than with anything in the film itself. I'm not the biggest fan of the original, but at the very least it had atmosphere. This remake is lifeless and plastic and just lame.

Hope F13 is at least a little bit better. It's been a long while since I've seen any good (meaning really good) horror released theatrically.

[othervoice1]

I thought this movie without the 3-D was about on par with the Friday remake- not bad but not great either- about C or C- material. The 3-D was fun though and bumped this up to B grade to me.

[Myron Breck]

Fuck. I can't believe I missed this in 3D when it was here. :(

[fceurich39]

dvd and blu-ray coming out on may 26th 2009

no word yet if a 3D version will be included but i remember reading an article that the director clearly said that there will be a 3D version on dvd but will be in red/blue and also supposed to have alot of deleted scenes

also i am hoping that if it is in 3D that it will include the 2D version so you won't have to double dip like when the night of the living dead 3D came out from lionsgate and had both a 2d and 3d version sold separatly but the movie was so crappy there was no need to get the standard version

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/15405

Yea if the blu-ray has 3-D and preferably 2-D as an option they got my money- if not they may not get my money

[fceurich39]

Lionsgate Home Entertainment's DVD and Blu-ray release of Patrick Lussier's My Bloody Valentine 3D, which arrives at retailers on May 19th. And yes, it'll be in 3-D.

The 3D remake of the classic horror film My Bloody Valentine slashes its way into stores in a Special Edition DVD and Blu-ray Disc as well as a standard definition DVD this May from Lionsgate. A terrifying tale about a small town that faces horrifying consequences on the anniversary of a deadly tragedy, My Bloody Valentine 3D was praised by horror critics as "The best 3D horror film ever made" (CHUD.com).

The Special Edition DVD includes both the 2D and 3D versions of the film with bonus materials including audio commentary, two featurettes - "Deep Inside My Bloody Valentine" a behind the scenes look at the making of the film and "Sex, Blood and Screams" - the make-up FX from the film, deleted scenes and a gag reel.. It will come with four pairs of 3D glasses enclosed in the DVD.

My Bloody Valentine 3D on Blu-ray Disc contains both 2D and 3D versions, four pairs of 3D glasses plus all of the special features and a digital copy of the film. The standard DVD will feature both the 3D and 2D widescreen versions of the film and will come with four pairs of 3D glasses.

Ten years ago in the town of Harmony, an inexperienced coal miner caused an accident that trapped and killed five men and sent the only survivor, Harry Warden, into a coma. When Harry woke, exactly one year later on Valentine's Day, he wanted revenge and brutally murdered 22 people with a pickaxe before being killed himself. Now, after years of peace, something from Harmony's dark past has returned. Wearing a miner's mask and armed with a pickaxe, an unstoppable killer is on the loose. As his footsteps come ever closer, the townspeople realize in terror that it just might be Harry Warden who has found his way back.

Good news-Blu Ray with 3-D and 2-D and it has a digital copy too- I will be picking this up

[Erick H.]

Any plans for the original film to go BLU yet ?

[fceurich39]

For those of you asking about the 3-D glasses that are to come with the DVD and Blu-ray release of My Bloody Valentine on May 19, here's your explanation. A Lionsgate rep e-mails us this explanation, "Neither red and blue nor grey polarized. It will be anaglyph which is the red and blue style but it is not the same quality as people think when talking about the traditional "red and blue". The lenses have been updated and improved... and are the best technology available now. The lenses are more green and pink to be exact," adding, "it's the state of the art in anaglyph technology from TrioScopics."

Hmmm. Isn't that the same they used at the Super Bowl halftime commercials? I don't recall those being that great, but I had been spoiled by seeing My Bloody Valentine 3-D in the theater a few days earlier. I was hoping to be able to use those from the theater for this Blu release, but I think you need two projectors to make the grey work anyway.

Hey Appleseed I thought this movie was a great flick for a post 80's slasher.We should all welcome Harry Warden into the late 2000's. Ive drank to much beer tonight lol.


seanI could have sworn a bunch of you said this movie sucked. Now yall are excited as fawk for the DVD release. oooooooooooooooooooK LOL!

[Anthropophagus]

Great fun, just what I was hoping for. Plenty of homages to both the original MBV and to the Friday the 13th lore (no surprise, given Todd Farmer's involvement), and Tom Atkins gave it a touch of class. The 3D effects were all awesome; they were more than just a wavering gimmick - virtually every single shot in the film was effectively utilizing the third dimension in some form or another. I had no qualms with the ending, either - it was classic psychological slasher stuff. If anything, I admired the story for staying so true to the classic slasher tropes. It lagged a bit after the middle, but the rousing climax more than made up for it. Fun fun fun. But where's the Moosehead beer?

Also, stay through the credits for a one last 3D surprise!

My sentiments exactly, it captured the sense of fun of the eighties slasher films perfectly. One of the better remakes.

[thrashard76]

I picked this up on Bluray today.

[indiephantom]

Watched it on blu-ray last week with my g/f and loved it. The 3-D effects were really good.

[maybrick]

I rented it the other day (standard DVD) just to see what I'd be getting before hand. (It was only $2 at the local mom and pop store so what the hell.) Overall I'd say that the 3-D effects were the best I've ever seen on video, but it wasn't completely without faults. I'm dominant in my left eye so whites were more green than I would've liked and there was some blurriness in shots, and of course the depth of field wasn't nearly as great as it was in the theater, but really there isn't a whole lot they can do about that for standard size TV sets. Definitely watchable.

Just for comparison, I have a 42" 1080i HDTV

[bigdaddyhorse]

I just picked this up from the library and they have a weird alternate dvd version.
This is a single disc and has all the extra features from the 2-disc, but is missing the 3-D version of the film.:confused:

So it looks like the 3-D version on dvd is good-very good? Think I'll dub the extras and end up buying the single 3-D disc down the road.:)

From what I know the 3D and 2D are in every version. Its a flipper disc on the single.

Maybe the 2 Disc Set has 2D with extras on one disc & the 2nd Disc has the 3D version. That's the one you got, the 2D Disc with the extras.

Or maybe you have the flipper & didn't notice.

Nope, it's a single sided single disc with the 2-D version and all the extras (everything listed for disc 2 on the SE). It even had a different barcode (031398109594), and nowhere did it say 3-D on the cover.
I was just about to ask the employees at the library for glasses when I noticed it didn't mention 3-D.

I know Blockbuster had a 3-D version for rent, but haven't seen what Hollywood has. I recall BB having a sign saying they were the only ones with the 3-D for rent, so maybe this is the other rental version. Otherwise it's just a weird alternate disc for libraries.

I did see a couple for sale on ebay after searching the UPC on google.

I was surprised to see my local cinema will be showing this tonight in 3D, they had it on previously for 2D, but I don't know why they didn't show 3D earlier, but now they are, guess it's gotten popular requests, I wasn't into watching it in 2D, since everyone is going on about it in 3D for the full experience.

I will check this out tonight, on a roll here, last week drag me to hell, and this week bloody 3D,

I would go see this in 3-D again in a second, by far the most effective and best 3-D effects I've ever seen. I just wish the same system would work for home theater, Real-D is the fucking bomb!
Have fun.

[hellraiser40]

i have received it today on DVD (flipper)

are the 3D effects good? on some reviews, i read the image is much too blurry in 3D and the included glasses aren't that hot?

[Mutilated Prey]

I just checked out the Blu 3D last night briefly and was pretty impressed with how good the 3D effects were on my 50" Panny Plasma. Sure, it's not as good as the theater with the grey glasses, but for home I think it's very good.

[bigdaddyhorse]

So I figured out the weird disc from the library is the rental version. I stopped into Hollywood Video and these were all over the used sale rack, same specs, smae lack of 3-D.
I guess BB has a 3-D version with no extras to rent, judging by what I saw when I went in there to look at used dvds a couple weeks ago (my BB boycott is still strong, although I will buy used discs there now and then if the price is right).

[hellraiser40]

watched this in 2D and afterwards i tested a couple of scenes in 3D

the 3D effects themselves are quite convincing, but colours and overall image quality isn't that hot

and i seemed to get a little headache after only watching about 5 minutes, which isn't a good sign!

[Mutilated Prey]

and i seemed to get a little headache after only watching about 5 minutes, which isn't a good sign!

I got a slight headache when watching it in the theater, but I think it was more just that my brain was getting sore from being overworked with all the 3D effects. I kinda felt tired as if I just cramed for an exam or something. Brain overload!

[bloodthrill]

I don't recall the extended sex scene that was promised being included on the features in the deleted scenes.

I also resent that when asked if an unrated version with even more carnage that was trimmed from the theatrical release would be offered,the director said,"No,you don't need to see that".WTF??Since when do I not need to see it?While certainly gory and violent,a few of the deaths did seem a bit snipped, (anchored pickaxe to the eye,for one)and while the dialogue/character devel was mostly shit,the bloodletting was one thing executed near-perfectly.So I want to see all of it.Why is that so hard?I'm a gorehound.Its what I do.
