I made it over to my local theater this weekend and I have this to say….Ladies and Gentlemen, the slasher film is back! I’ve said it before; I’m not a fan of recent horror remakes, but occasionally there is a diamond in the rough. My Bloody Valentine 3-D is one of those diamonds. A remake that doesn’t stray too far from the original but also doesn’t make a carbon copy of the original.

Just like the 1981 film, this 2009 remake has solid character development (for a horror flick), interesting locations and balls to the wall gore. I was able to see it in 3-D which made the experience 10 times more enjoyable. Come on! Horror and 3-D go together like peanut butter and jelly. And the filmmakers know this. They take full advantage of the 3-D and deliver the blood right from the get go. 

Tired of all the recent “torture porn”? Me too. So it was nice to see an old-fashioned thriller flick again. Who knows, it might get old real quick once the Friday the 13th remake is released. But let’s enjoy it while it lasts.
