My Bloody Valentine is The Deer Hunter of the slasher genre
except the characters, who probably sniffed too much coal dust, are so brain-dead stupid that I've lost
interest in whether or not they live.
As far as horror goes, nothing much happens because it went through extensive cuts to achieve an R rating. Not
that it matters either way; hence, it's a by-the-numbers slasher flick that offers more of the same just like
anything from the Friday the 13th franchise.
The plot is about idiots smoking, drinking, fornicating, getting killed, and overcoming scary moments
while playing the survival game until the identity of the masked killer is revealed at the end.
All in all, here's an important memo to Hollywood: come up with something new; otherwise, stop making the same
crap again and again.
