Ten years ago, an inexperienced coal miner named Tom Hanniger (Jensen Ackles) 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.

Tammy Oler

Bitch Media

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.

Rick Bentley

Tribune News Service

Toss in first-rate 3D and the movie not only pays a proper homage to the 1981 original but kicks it up about 1,000 notches.

Rated: 3/4

Kevin C. Johnson

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

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

Rated: 2.5/4

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

Film Inquiry

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

Gone With The Twins

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.

Rated: 3/10

Filme legal, o roteiro é bacana, gostei das cenas de mortes no filme, gostei do plot twist desse filme bem melhor do que o filme de 1981, esse o jensen ackles tem alucinacões com o assassino, e acha que está sendo perseguido por ele, mas na verdade era ele o vilão do filme, perto do final tem um briga em uma mina abandonada e acaba meio que matando o jensen ackles, o policial e a garota sobrevivem, mas no final jensen ackles aparece vivo com um roupa dos bombeiros que ele pegou e acaba o filme.

MBV from 2009 is a reboot that I really liked, Harry is much more brutal than his 1981 counterpart (too much)

Un plutôt plaisant et gore remake. Les jumpscares sont très bien réussis en partie grâce à une BO totalement réussi. Les effets 3D deviennent juste ridicule quand on regarde ce film en 2D et le "twist" n'est pas vraiment appréciable et n'apporte rien au film.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

If you like twists and turns and lots of blood, I highly recommend (but there's full nudity so keep that in mind)
