Review Excerpts
Although it boasts state-of-the-art 3-D camera trickery, which helmer Patrick Lussier shamelessly exploits to goose the aud with cheap thrills and full-bore gore, "My Bloody Valentine" is at heart an unabashedly retro work, reveling in the cliches and conventions of the slasher horror pics that proliferated in the early 1980s.—Variety ReviewVariety: My Bloody Valentine... (January 16, 2009)
The remake, directed by Patrick Lussier (of the unfortunate Dracula 2000, a movie Gerard Butler's career only recently recovered from), fails to find much of a motive for the mayhem, but at least promises some 3-D pickax action. And while some of that is nicely done, it can't excuse the rest of what's up there onscreen.—E! Online ReviewE Online: My Bloody Valentine 3D (January 16, 2009)
