B-

Director George Mihalka gets effectively naturalistic performances out of his leads, as well as an intermittently eerie mood, but ultimately, it's a movie enjoyed more for what it could've been than what it actually is.

Quickly devolves into a piece of hackwork.

''My Bloody Valentine'' probably won't make you shiver with fright, but it's almost certain to make you squirm, first with irritation and then with revulsion.

...My Bloody Valentine just doesn’t have any memorable moments that make it undeniable... My Bloody Valentine is full of nostalgia, but that’s not enough.

Even if it was aiming to cash in on the Valentine' Day setting, the connection to the holiday only heightens the absurd and entertaining horrors contained within its run time.

3/5

Earns points for being a more mature slasher than others of the time, but most of the human drama feels superfluous.

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.

Overall, pretty good. The miner costume the slasher wore was intimidating and it was an interesting concept to have it set on Valentine’s Day.Definitely not the best horror flick but it’s certainly charming and worth a watch if you like slashers.
