A slasher film with nothing special, as there are so many movies just like it.

Slasher simple, sans prise de tête et très caractéristique des slashers des années 80 avec une scène de fin géniale.

Fans of '80s gore (you know who you are) should check out the unrated cut.

This slasher does not get enough love! The MPAA cut 9 minutes of footage which means it had some great kills. The gore was really good for a movie in 81. Thats crazy

AV Club

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.

''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.

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

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.

Rated: 4/5

Horror Queers Podcast

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

Rated: 3/5

Film Inquiry

Far from the best horror film, and far from the best slasher, there is something classically endearing about My Bloody Valentine.
