Ten years ago, an inexperienced coal miner named Tom Hanniger caused an accident that killed five men and put a sixth, Harry Warden, into a coma. A year later, on Valentine's Day, Harry woke up and murdered 22 people with a pickaxe before dying. Now Tom has returned home, still haunted by the past. And something else is back in Harmony: a pickaxe-wielding killer in a miner's mask, who may be the ghost of Harry, come to claim Tom and his friends.

Critics Consensus

This gory, senses-assaulting slasher film is an unpretentious, effective mix of old-school horror stylings and modern 3D technology.

My Bloody Valentine has lously gender politics for a slasher movie, and that's both disappointing and disconcerting because the film has probably made enough money to merit a sequel and inspire other 3D horror movies.

2.5/4

In the end, the movie is a true blood-splashed valentine to fans of the cheesy genre that spawned it.

2.5/5

My Bloody Valentine 3D doesn't have nearly enough fun with either its jazzy technology or its inherently campy premise.

2.5/4

The movie provides a few hearty laughs, a profusion of nonsensical stupidity, and plenty of so-bad-it’s-good moments to entertain viewers in the back row, whispering to each other about the inanity of it all.

This film may be a remake of the 1981 classic but it creates its own identity, carving out its own place within the horror genre

3/10

Solving the crime and cheering on heroes is something of a lost cause, as most of the roles are just unintelligent enough to inspire disgust.

A very solid remake! CGI was overused though

This is just a fun horror movie with a good amount of gore. Not a fan of the forced 3D effects attempts, but it was par for the course in late 2000s

It’s a quintessential early-2000s gore fest—packed with nudity, over-the-top kills, and zero apologies. You’re either on board with that vibe, or you’re not. The plot follows a familiar slasher formula, but the Valentine’s Day theme gives it a stylish twist, adding a splash of color and flair that makes the visuals stand out. Think vivid reds, heart-shaped motifs, and blood-soaked romance. If you have a soft spot for flashy, holiday-themed slashers, this one’s worth a watch.

(Overall Rating: 2.16/5) (Bad) ----- (Cinematography/Atmosphere: 2.5/5) The VFX were ok but nothing special (did not see in 3D). The overall Atmosphere was also average for the type of movie. The score was not great --- (Storyline/Plot: 1.5/5) The story tried to be something more than was necessary for what it was. What was there was very predictable and used tired tropes. --- (Acting: 1.5/5) Jensen was Jensen, otherwise the acting was very bad in this one. Even the "trips/falls" were hilariously terrible. --- (Character Quality: 2/5) This is an odd one where the characters as written may have been better than how the actors were portraying them. Still not good --- (Entertainment Value: 3.5/5) If the movie has a strong point this is it. The gore was appropriate for the genre. I audibly laughed throughout although I'm not sure if that's what was intended. I was at no point scared and none of the "jump-scares" were good enough to get me. --- (Expectations vs. Reality: 2/5) This was my first viewing of the movie 17 years after it came out. I thought it may be a little scarier than it was, so that was a let down. Otherwise it was a typical low budget campy affair.

The original isn't a great movie, but it's far better than this tired remake.
