Director: George Mihalka Cast: Paul Kelman, Lori Hallier, Neil Affleck, Keith Knight, Alf Humphreys, Peter Cowper and Don Francks. Plot: In the year 1960 six miners are trapped underground. Harry Warden the lone survivor is found but in a deranged state. Shortly after on valentine day Warden murders those deemed responsible of the explosion. Now twenty years later Valentine day is fast approaching when a killer start terrorizing the town once more. First off if your looking for a movie to watch this valentine then My Bloody Valentine ticks all the boxes! My Bloody Valentine is creepy, suspenseful, and glory which is all the need from a good old slasher movie. However this movie tells different themes of love and mystery. When you think of great 1980s slasher movies you trend to hear, Halloween, A nightmare on elm street and Friday the 13th. Now My Bloody Valentine might not the heights of those three, never the less this is a bloody good time which got me thinking what could of been if they made this into a franchise. With an amazing opening scene which you'll never forget, it is truly amazing. The design of the killer being a miners is a classic look and one which is creepy and will live long in the memory, the performance of the killer was physically terrorizing and the stature of him was demanding the screen time. The kills here are truly some of the best you will see in slasher movie history given the nature of the kills and how gruesome some of them were, Even the ones off screen made you use your imagination with the bloody nature the body were found. When it comes to the mystery of the killer they only really lead you to think of two suspects which by the end when the killer is revealed was very obvious, With a tact on backstory which makes no sense. Even giving the fact that the killers reveal was obvious, this does not take away from a great third act with the killer playing cat and mouse with his victims in the creepy setting of the underground mines. The performances in My Bloody Valentine are nothing to write home unfortunately, with some very weak side character that are only they're for the kill count and even when being killed the acting at times is laughable. The main character which are not bad just very generic for a slasher movie. I will say Don Francks really stole every moment of screen time as Chief Newby. From a movie making view of things, giving the fact is this a low budget slasher from the 1980s the make up, set designs and costumes very hold up to todays standards. Overall My Bloody Valentine is a great watch for an slasher fan and is worth giving a watch if you haven't seen it yet. You can buy or rent My Bloody Valentine on amazon prime. Rating 6.6/10. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Robson C Há 20 anos, um acidente na mina da cidade de Valentine's Bluff causou a morte de cinco mineiros. Um deles sobreviveu, alimentando-se dos colegas mortos, e acabou enlouquecendo. Ele escapa do hospital psiquiátrico e mata os dois supervisores que abandonaram ele e seus amigos na mina para ir em uma festa do Dia dos Namorados. Durante 20 anos, nunca mais houve comemoração na cidade do Dia dos Namorados, até que o prefeito decide retomar os festejos. Ao mesmo tempo, o assassino retorna, matando várias pessoas. Aproveitando do sucesso dos primeiros filmes de slasher lançados no início dos anos 80, decidiram fazer um filme, usando como tema o Dia dos Namorados. E resulta nesse filme bastante competente, com um bom elenco, um roteiro OK, boas cenas de morte, com um bom trabalho de maquiagem e efeitos práticos. Prejudicado pela censura da época que cortou todas as cenas de morte, esse filme poderia ter iniciado uma nova franquia de sucesso. Só quando foi restaurado é que se percebeu o bom filme de terror que ele é. Primeiro, porque ele tem um protagonista que se encaixa perfeitamente bem nas regras dos assassinos deste tipo de filme: um visual icônico e uma arma de assinatura, no caso aqui, uma picareta. Outro lado interessante é que os personagens não são adolescentes: são jovens adultos, o que acaba por não termos tantas decisões ridículas muito comuns nos slasher movies. Um pequeno clássico do terror oitentista.
