Was quite surprised, thought it was a very decent slasher. I watched the uncut version as I heard that it had all the good gory scenes, and they were pretty good.

I actually saw the remake first, which I thought was... bad, so coming back to the original was much better. Also, indirect spoiler: I had no idea that the remake changed the outcome, I thought it was a complete copy. So yeah, I was kind of surprised by this movie's ending for maybe the wrong reason. I'm not exactly sure which I preferred. The original's reveal seemed underwhelming, whereas the remake's seemed too forced (but slightly more interesting).

A typical, but enjoyable 80's slasher with some nice cinematography, decent acting and an ending that kind of suprised me. Recommended if you're fan of good old fasion horror.

A bona fide Canadian horror classic, My Bloody Valentine was shot in a Cape Breton mining town very early in the careers of several ubiquitous Canadian television icons (Street Legal's Cynthia Dale and He Shoots, He Scores' Carl Marotte, for example) and though I don't recommend it for its acting generally, its use of the setting is great (there's even action inside the mine) and the kills are original and gory. The lore is kind of told like a campfire story: Twenty years ago, the fictional town of Valentine's Bluff held its last Valentine's Day dance on account of a traumatized miner serial killing party goers. But this year, the kids aren't afraid of to make the good times roll, and the revived tradition brings the killer out of the woodwork. In addition to the clever kills, the movie has some other interesting twists, like the rivals for the presumed final girl's attentions teaming up to save her, although the Big Twist(TM) is rather predictable, or at least, guessable. One to watch as a double-feature with (the admittedly better) Black Christmas.
