The slasher genre was in full swing during the early 80's and a string of copycats replicating "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" were released quickly by studios to cash in on the scene. "My Bloody Valentine" was one of these low budget copies, but many fans can agree, it was undoubtably better than most, even compared to a lot of the sequels to the above mentioned movies. The story follows the violent times of a small mining town in the midst of a psycho killer wearing a mining outfit. No one is sure if it is the return of a man from the past, or a new killer out on the loose.Sadly, it is most known for it's battle with the MPAA instead of the actual movie product. Many scenes were cut to give it an R rating, and if we could get everything intact, it'd probably be an even bigger cult classic today. An unrated DVD is available, but even then it doesn't contain everything. But if you want some cool creepy atmospheric qualities as well as some brutal bloody deaths, "My Bloody Valentine" is for you. Side note, AVOID THE REMAKE AT ALL COSTS. If you go back to December you will see the 3D remake is on the top 10 worst of 2009 list. So get your random holiday horror violence on with this classic of slash.
