“My Bloody Valentine 3-D,” which was released on January 16 by Lionsgate as a remake of a 1981 Canadian horror movie, seems to have no other purpose than to show viewers loads of gory scenes and nothing more, since it brings forth no new element to single it out from all the other horror productions.

The 3-D twist on horror movies has been long known, with „House of Wax” having been released more than half a century ago, so it’s up to the story and the plot themselves to make for a good production.

Nevertheless, the film follows the plot line drawn by the original picture, beginning with the story of Harry Warden, a coal miner living in the town of Harmony who has killed all his fellow miners after an accident that forced them to fight for the little air left in the mine.

After one year of being in coma, Warden wakes up and starts murdering people before the local sheriff shoots him dead.

The movie then fast forwards to ten years later, when the miner responsible for the accident, Tom, returns to Harmony and so does Harry, who wearing his miner's uniform and gas mask, goes on a killing spree, choosing as his trademark to leave Valentine’s Day cards with actual human hearts.

From then on, „My Bloody Valentine” is all about the gore, with the audience being served with scenes that although do justice to a horror movie, do not quite make up for the lack of insight and depth that the production displays.
