Roses Are Red, Vionlets Are Blue, One Person Is Dead And So Are You

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

I'm glad I was able to enjoy this classic 80s slasher film that isn't the edited version. If you want to check out My Bloody Valentine make sure you get the Special Edition with the red tinted cover as it has all the death scenes.

The plot is very simple a town that's haunted from a mining accident that left one of the miners to go insane and kill anyone who hosted valentine's party. 20 years later the town of Valentine's Bluff is having it's first valentine's party while everyone is looking forward to it however TJ who returned to the town isn't having the best of times. His girlfriend is now going out with a friend Axel as the two are butting heads with each other as they both want Sarah.

When the sheriff gets a package of a heart along with a warning not to host the a valentine's party he and the mayor call it off after another person is killed. TJ's friends annoyed and believing the whole curse isn't true plan to host their own party at the mining station. Everything is going fine till the killer shows up and one by one begins picking them off with some of friends trapped in the mines.

I really enjoyed this movie and loved the plot twist at the end. Like I said before if you want to watch a good fun slasher like My Bloody Valentine make sure you get the Special Edition as you won't be disappointed.

Slasher with adults

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2019

My Bloody Valentine (the original, not the remake), is fantastic. Very entertaining. I love that this is a slasher with adults. It's different. Also no gratuitous nudity which is rare for an 80's slasher. If you purchase this movie though be aware that the special edition is the only version that is unedited. The original version I purchased had all the death scenes cut to bits. The special edition has the original scenes in tact. It's much better with these scenes in place. I love this movie. If you like slashers I highly recommend this one. It's a cut above the rest.

Good ole 80's slasher film, like a few of them that have become iconic

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

This movie is not talked about as much as others but it definitely made an impression on me and has a cult following. I’ve always liked the feeling of not knowing the cast to add a level of mystery and increase the chance of not knowing who will make it to the end. I thought it was well made for a slasher movie from the time period of "Friday the 13th". I remember not being old enough to see it at the time, but seeing stills in Fangora Magazine that creeped me out. Glad to finally see it. I was surprised by the high production value and special effects/make-up, including some great camera angles to add to the creepiness. The acting was on par for that time and actually surprised by the high class background music. Just fun watch on a Fall chill quarantine Friday or Saturday evening at home. Pop some Orville Redenbacher and enjoy.

We use to watch this on VHS when it was first release in the eighties, it has gained a cult following over the years. Sound is only 2.0 mono. Wide screen edition 1.85:1 with very good special features on this two dise package. Story is good, color is great. You can't go wrong adding this to your library collection.

The unrated version is much better than the whittled down theatrical release

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2021

My Bloody Valentine is one of the more underrated but brutal slasher films of the 80's. I know that the MPAA had cut the living daylights out of this film, omitting the graphic hardcore stuff but this dvd release brings it back because of the release of the remake. I kinda like the unrated cut of My Bloody Valentine better because it was more violent and gory. Awesome movie!

MY BLOODY VALENTINE

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2020

If you're a fan of 80's Slashers then MY BLOODY VALENTINE is a must watch! The plot is simple and true to the genre. It centers around an urban legend of a murderer killing those who celebrate Valentine's Day. When the town of Valentine Bluffs reinstates a Valentine's Day Dance, that had been suspended for two decades, people start turning up dead which brings the legend to life. THE REST IS BLOODY!!

MINER 49er AND CLEMENTINE

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 23, 2015

Verified Purchase

My Bloody Valentine, R1 special edition DVD. 1981.
The picture quality's great, 16:9 no black bars, the unrated
footage which you can watch as part of the film?, that's not
so great, but it's still perfectly watchable. Manic miner starts
offing the townsfolk just in time for the big valentines day/night dance.
Naturally after a few drinks you're going to want a crafty after
hours tour of the mine!. Way above average horror high jinx,
excellent & bloody fx that make some horror films look tame.
A massive thank you for the reviewer(s) for this next bit of info-
get the Lionsgate special edition, it's the one with the miner
holding the heart shaped chocolate/candy box, the other version,
the one with the red thin hand drawn heart on the cover is apparently
cut. Run time 90min (not sure if that's with the extra footage).
Extras:Bloodlust-My Bloody Valentine & the rise of the slasher film-
-Bloodlines, an interactive horror film history- deleted footage
with introductions.

"Forget about having a party at all on saturday night....You may not live to see daylight!"

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 24, 2011

Verified Purchase

In the small mining town of Valentine Bluffs, two foremen leave early to get to the town's Valentine's Day dance. Five workers remained in the mine when a methane gas explosion traps the five in a shaft, six weeks later a rescue team find there's only one survivor. Harry Warden has survived by eating his coworkers and appears to have lost his mind. After spending a year in a mental hospital, Harry returns to town and takes his revenge by brutally murdering the guilty foremen. He ripped out their hearts and put them in Valentine's candy boxes, along with a warning that if a Valentine's party is ever held in Valentine Bluffs again, the murders would continue.

Twenty years later and with Harry Warden being nothing but a distant memory, the town is getting ready for their first Valentine's Day party since the killings. It isn't long before a maniac dressed in mining gear is killing the townsfolk, in a similar brutal fashion to those twenty years earlier. Has Harry Warden kept his promise to return and kill anybody celebrating the 14th of February?

The mostly Canadian cast do a really good job, Paul Kelman, Lori Hallier and Neil Affleck are all believable enough as the main stars and the three involved in the film's love triangle. Keith Knight is the most likable of the group, he plays the slightly robust coworker with the bushy moustache. George Mihalka directs confidently and keeps the movie going at a great pace. The atmosphere is fantastic, they filmed it in a real town and in a real mine thousands of feet under ground. The special effects that were unseen until this 2009 release are excellent and really realistic, it's a shame that such excellent work was unseen for nearly thirty years. Quentin Tarantino stated this is his all time favourite slasher film.

Lionsgate's 2009 special edition on blu-ray looks fantastic, and best of all it's region free. From the opening scene down in the dark, grimy mine I was instantly impressed by how clean and detailed the picture was. I was impressed by how nice the Paramount region 2 bare bones dvd looked, but this blu-ray looks far better than I could ever have imagined a low budget Canadian slasher film from 1981 could look. Virtually all the speckles and dirt has been removed, there's very little grain even in the darkest scenes, the blacks are really dark and inky and the colours are vibrant and much more visually pleasing. If it wasn't for the fact it's so obviously the early '80s, the film could pass as a pretty recent film.

Despite how brilliant the film now looks, it wasn't the main reason I decided to get the region 1 special edition. I really wanted to see the added "gore" scenes that had previously been cut out, I wasn't disappointed. I'm not exaggerating when I say that every single death scene in the film had been cut, now all the death scenes are bloody and brutal and the film finally lives up to its name. There's pickaxes being pushed through torso's and one through the face with the pickaxe coming out through the eye socket. The launderette scene is extended and much more gruesome, the shower room scene is much longer and now a much more taut scene. Nail gun to the face, a body in a noose where the head gets ripped off from its shoulders leaving the decapitated head swinging in the noose, and an important scene with an arm being hacked off with a knife. The two rumours for the film being so heavily cut are that Paramount came in for a lot of criticism the year earlier for Friday The 13th and decided to tone it down, the second being that John Lennon was killed shortly before the films release and according to Mihalka, there was a major backlash against movie violence in the wake of his death. Either way, there's no doubting that the film is much better with the gore back in.

There's not as many extras as I had hoped for, but that was secondary to the improved picture quality and reinstated gore anyway. There's a twenty minute documentary about slasher films leading up to My Bloody Valentine, for some reason half way through it becomes all about the recent remake and the last ten minutes seems like it should have been an extra on the remake. All of the cut scenes are here as extras with optional introductions by a member of the cast or crew before each scene is shown. Bloodlines is an interactive horror film history with notes about all the different sub genres of horror films, and a trailer. Decent extras but i'd have personally loved a commentary.

My Bloody Valentine is just about the best of all the Halloween and Friday The 13th "Knock offs" from the early to mid '80s. If you're a fan of My Bloody Valentine and have always liked it like I did, but thought it was rather tame compared to most of the other slasher films of the time, this version shows it was just as gruesome as the others and is an absolute must own. A big upgrade from the Paramount region 2 release, and the front cover is a million times better. The cover with the hand and the blood heart is horrendous, the new version has the killer in his mining gear holding a heart shaped candy box and looks brilliant.

Forget the re-make, this is the original and best.

It's a "Friday The 13th" style slasher movie set in a small mining town that many years ago suffered a tradgedy concerning miners trapped down below after an explosion on Valentines day.

The only survivor was rescued weeks later, completely insane after having to eat the bodies of his co workers to stay alive, and escapes from the looney bin to disappear for years but not before he puts a curse on the town warning them to never celebrate Valentines day again.

Present day and guess what?, the local youngsters decide it's time to forget old curses and have a Valentines dance, but get this, they hold it in the mine where all the trouble began.

The bodies soon start to litter the place and what you end up with is a great game of cat and mouse deep underground in the spooky tunnels and shafts of the abandoned areas but who is doing the killing?, a copycat killer or has the original fruit cake returned?.

This is an excellent horror movie with it's tongue firmly wedged in it's cheek, check out the really awful poems the killer sends his victims in Valentines cards before the big mine climax.

great presentation of a key slasher film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is a very good presentation of the original My Bloody Valentine. The picture is sharp and the extras are very good. There's a 5.1 DD soundtrack and a original-mono-soundtrack as well.
You can watch the film in the pg-like-rated theatrical version, which has nearly no gory scenes at all or in the extended cut with all the famous special effects, which in fact are pretty good.
You can also watch the deleted footage with introductions by the film makers.
Then there's a not so very interesting 20-min film about the slasher film, which you can watch or just not.
There are English and Spanish subtitles as well.
The Aspect Ratio is 1.78:1 not: 16:9 - 2.35:1 as wrongly stated. With the original aspect ratio being 1.85 : 1, this is just fine.
