Critics Consensus

My Bloody Valentine stumbles through a cinematic coal mine of mechanical scares, bland characters, and a contrived, blood-soaked plot that's as predictable as it is unimaginative.

The picture doesn't make much sense.

The direction, acting and production values are so inept that you begin rooting for the killer.

The script offers promise before it cops out.

The film never overcomes its deadweight of contrivance.

The Canadian producers of George Mihalka's My Bloody Valentine do everything they can to make us believe that the grisly events depicted... are happening in America and not the Maritime Provinces. Their reasons are not patriotic.

It is utterly predictable, utterly average, utterly forgettable.

Watch the unrated version if you can. Oh, and stay away from the lame remake.

The movie moves very slowly but it's entertaining and I didn't expect the final plot twist at all.

This is one of my favorite slashers. It's so unique, and now we have three main movies to watch on Valentines day. (This movie, the reboot, and Heart Eyes)

This movie is corny and cheesy, but it is ultimately one of my favorite cult classic horror movies. It makes you question the logic and reasoning of the town of Valentine Bluff and how they respond in a crisis but it is a fun and crazy ride.
