Editorial Review:
Ten years ago in the town of Harmony, an inexperienced coal miner caused an accident that trapped and killed five men and sent the only survivor, Harry Warden, into a coma. When Harry awoke, exactly one year later on Valentine’s Day, he wanted revenge and brutally murdered 22 people with a pickax before being killed himself. Now, after years of peace, something from Harmony’s dark past has returned. Wearing a miner’s mask and armed with a pickax, an unstoppable killer is on the loose. As his footsteps come ever closer, the townspeople realize in terror that it just might be Harry Warden who has found his way back.
My Bloody Valentine 3D/2D Flip Reviews:
Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Loved the Original and This one Too!! 
2009-11-05 - This remake of the 1981 chiller is solid with some gruesome kills, spills and interesting characters. The story is routine, about an undistinguished mining town being terrorized by a crazed killer out for bloody revenge but the gloomy setting adds to the films eerie tone and the killer, although never as iconic as the other more infamous horror screen legends, (You know who I'm talkin' about, the one that wears the hockey mask and the William Shatner mask.) is amazingly chilling in his mining gear and wielding a handy pick axe. I originally saw this in the theatre in 3-D and loved it. It definitely looses a bit of its edge when viewing it on the small screen but the tension and dread are still there. Overall, the performances are good. Jaime King is a delight, Tom Atkins, who made a name for himself appearing in several popular horror films; The Fog (Special Edition), Escape from New York (Special Edition), Halloween III - Season Of The Witch, Creepshow (Keepcase), Night of the Creeps, is his usually charming self and it's good to see him back in his genre and Kerr Smith is great as the egotistical Sheriff who has an axe to grind with the overwhelmingly inexpressive Jensen Ackles. Smith's performance is slick, cool and despite his characters unlikable characteristics, he still manages to make him rather likable. Ackles' performance on the other hand does not hold up against his supporting players. He seemed to have graduated from the "Keanu Reeves School of Acting" and his performance at times was embarrassing. Some may state that it was his characters nature since he is portraying a rather troubled young man with absolutely no personality but he could have at least made the character a bit more interesting. He speaks all of his lines in a monotone and his sculpted face is expressionless throughout making his character come across as a complete and utter bore.
For those who are fans of the original, you may not find this remake necessary as it is your typical by the numbers slasher film. However, as a re-make of a cult classic, and considering we have had a number of atrocious, Z-grade re-tellings of classic and cult classic horror movies, this one stands out as one of the best. The pacing is great as is the ensemble cast with the exception of Jensen Ackles. The death scenes deliver the goods and the murderer is as chilling as he was in the original. Definitely worth your time. Recommended.
Bloody Valentine in 3D!
2009-10-17 - Most all know about this movie. But I have read the review's from other poster's, and there is a difference of opinion about 3D.So, maybe I can clear that up. When I got my copy, I put on my glasses and the 3D was very disapointing. So, I have another paid of glasses but the Red lense in on the right side...and the Blue lense in on the left side. This is the reverse of the first pair I used. I found, by using the pair with the Blue lense on the left and the Red lense on the right, the 3D is great...so maybe, that is the reason that some here post No 3D and some post Great 3D. So, in the future, if you buy a movie that is supposed to be 3D and it is not, try reversing the lense's. It worked for me really well. As for the movie, there are also some who reported scratch's...I did not find that to be the case with the movie I received.The 3D is great. ....just use the glasses with the blue lense on the left and red on the right...You Will See a Difference.<>Lon<>
Good movie, disappointing 3D 
2009-10-13 - I bought this DVD because I saw My Bloody Valentine in 2D in theaters and I really liked it. The film itself is a pretty good horror/chase flick, especially these days when most horror movies are 100% predictable and have very little plot behind them. So this movie was a breath of fresh air. I didn't get to see the movie in 3D but was excited when I saw that I could purchase teh DVD in 3D with the accompanying 3D glasses. However, the 3D is hardly notable and you might as well just purchase a 2D version, unless you can get this one for less money then by all means get this one.
3D Works
2009-09-09 - Here's the thing: the 3D works. It isn't perfect of course, but it does work, not sure what everyone else is complaining about. Of course it isn't good as theaters, they've spent thousands of dollars upgrading to new 3d technology, if you want it to be as good as a theater then go to the theater but for a 3D experience at home it works fine. Must be user error.
Not 3d! More Like Blurry! 
2009-09-08 - Ok, After buying this horrible movie I realized that after the first 10 minutes of watching this I can't Even See the people! The 3d Was Terrible it was just Blurry and Unwatchable. Then I went to Flip the disk over and Where the 3d glasses were in the box it scratched the movie up so bad it didn't do anything but skip! This is a Horrible Buy! They shouldn't have put the 3d glasses where they scratch the disk.
I'm Warning you The 3d DOES NOT WORK, If you like to waste money on a horrible movie and even worst 3d get this thing, But after you watch the 3d side you willl understand it is a horrible piece of crap.
