My Bloody Valentine 3D Official Trailer

Director Patrick Lussier has been working on My Bloody Valentine 3D, a remake of the 1981 Canadian slasher film of the same name. Well no exactly the same name, this new version deserves indeed the additional term 3D to the the title: it will have a 3-D theatrical release. The marketing behind the movie is heavily (over?) promoting the 3D gimmick... It should maybe focus on the plot. My Bloody Valentine 3D is starring Jensen Ackles in the lead cast. It is expected to be released in Mid-January 2009.

Here below the first official trailer of My Bloody Valentine 3D:

The Plot:
"Tom (Ackles) returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine's night massacre that claimed the lives of 22 people. Instead of a homecoming, however, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders, and it seems like his old flame (King) is the only one will believes he's innocent." (Source: IMDb)

I believe this remake is faithful to the original movie. But it also seems to have its own originality, with a pace that fits better in our digital era than the older version.

I think that one may enjoy My Bloody Valentine 3D even in a traditional theater. 3D, may bring something to one's theater experience, but it sounds just like a gimmick so far...

Anyway, for valentine’s Day: make love not war! Keep an eye opened in case the slasher would be wandering in your neighborhood though!

My Bloody Valentine

The synopsis and what follows below may contain some spoilers for the new movie, so read at your own risk.

The Plot:
"Twenty years ago in the sleepy mining town of Valentine Bluffs, a methane gas explosion trapped five miners in a shaft when key members of the crew left early to attend the town Valentine's Day dance. Six weeks later, the sole survivor of the accident, Harry Warden, was rescued; he survived on the flesh of his fallen coworkers and went mad. After a year in an institution, he escaped on Valentine's Day and cut out the hearts of the guilty crew members, leaving a warning that the same would happen if the town ever again held a Valentine's Day celebration. When a group of young miners and their girlfriends decide that the town has gone without a party long enough, a murderous maniac in mining gear begins dispatching townsfolk in bloody and creative ways."

In a March 30, 2007 issue of Entertainment Weekly, the film was ranked 17 in a list of guilty pleasures, listed among such films as Dawn of the Dead and Escape from New York, and called the most criminally underappreciated of the slasher genre.

Quentin Tarantino is said to be a real fan of My Bloody Valentine, it is even reported that it is his all-time favorite slasher film!

So no wonder that Lionsgate has pushed forward a remake: don't miss My Bloody Valentine 3D!
