The goofy 3D glasses were on and the apprehension was in place as I prepared myself for the slasher movie My Bloody Valentine in 3D.
My Bloody Valentine takes place in a small town with mining at the heart of the community but, it is also the mines that bring fear among the locals as they are a scene of a series of brutal murders.
Tom Hanniger causes an accident in the mines that kills five men and puts one man, Harry Warden, into a coma. When Harry awakes from his coma on Valentines Day a year later, he escapes the hospital and wreaks havoc in the mines, killing 22 people before being shot down and killed.
10 years on and Tom Hanniger is back in town to decide whether or not to sell his share of the mines but, there's someone around to distract him. A killer dressed in a mining suit and wielding a pickaxe is on the loose and embarking on another killing spree in the community. Is Harry Warden back to put fear into the locals or has somebody else taken his place?
My Bloody Valentine is an entertaining film but, is somewhat lacking in its ability to scare the audience or make them jump, not to mention the fact that much of the action and killings are quite comical (though that probably isn't the intention). The plot is quite long and quite complicated and you really have to try to keep a hold of what's going on and who's who.
The 3D effects are good in parts and not so good in others but, it's all in good fun and so My Bloody Valentine proves to be a popular film.
