MY BLOODY VALENTINE
Anyone else a fan of this? Paramount released this not long after their first FRIDAY THE 13th film, and it seems somewhat overlooked today. While it didn't lead to a franchise (which can be a good...

Walmart had this among a display of Paramount horror and sci-fi titles for around $5.50 during the Halloween season. Also among the goodies were ROSEMARY'S BABY, most of the FRIDAY THE 13th features,...

Oof! If I could stomach Wal-Mart, I might have gone for that - ROSEMARY'S BABY, certainly. Maybe even APRIL FOOL'S DAY. I myself just saw MY BLOODY VALENTINE on the big screen in Vancouver, and it was...

The version I saw in the cinema when it was first released in the UK was savagely cut, with all of the best Fangoria moments excised - even the launderette scene. I'm still holding out that one day...

I liked them a lot. Their masterpiece was the album Loveless from 1991. Some tracks from it appear in the soundtrack to Nadja (starring Peter Fonda as Dracula/Van Helsing and David Lynch as the night...

It's been three years since I first saw this and I don't remember much about it. But I did find some very brief notes I wrote: ** Typical F13-influenced slasher fare, with all the trimmings: bad...

Hmm, I'm a little warmer to it than that, having seen it in the early eighties, first run in the UK. I think it was paired with a re-run of Friday the 13th - Part 2. In the recent documentary about...

'My Bloody Valentine' was one of those movies I heard about from other kids, and they would tell me about the WHOLE movie. They had select tv, cable, HBO.. all that, long before I ever did. These...

Yeah, but I'm rashly only going on sense memory, rather than an actual recollection. Thinking about it, I think I saw them in two different cities, so it's back to written proof I go! I just found a...

I still think this is probably the best of the FRIDAY THE 13TH knockoffs. Despite the censored violence (Damn that old issue of Fangoria) and the Dollar Tree Peter Graves of a sheriff,everything else...

This has become a traditional viewing for me this time of year. It's really a fun flick. Nothing GREAT, but definitely fun. It fulfills the early 80s nostalgia with style and mood. And like was posted...

Not really a slasher fan at all, but I loved this. There was that deep claustrophobic atmosphere (this one spent much more time in the mines than the remake) juxtaposed with the wholesome town, and...
