it is a vacuous trawl through horror's more sensationalist tropes... but that is just another way of saying that this is popcorn cinema at its most unapologetic and unpretentious, guaranteed to delight gorehounds and to bring young lovers closer together.
it works like a blood-spattered charm
There's nothing sweeter that watching a film that knows exactly what it is. At no point does MBV:3D pretend to be anything but a mindless slasher film straight out of your DVD collection. [It's] is jammed with great kills, loads of gore & plenty of laughs
Old-school gore, complete with people getting slaughtered while they're nude, gooey viscera as far as the eye can see and the planting of seeds for a sequel.
While the story itself is a mixed-bag at best, you have to give it up for the technology, which uses the 3-D platform to such a successful extent, it takes a mediocre movie and turns it into a reasonably fun, camp contender.
It's a lousy movie all around, but I had a great time watching it.
An in-your-face bit of bloody fun that's guaranteed to thrill those looking for a gory good time.
Doesn't quite match the original in terms of its overriding eeriness. It does, however, live up to the second word in the title. My Bloody Valentine is a visual blast.
Though the script is flat and the acting perhaps intentionally stilted, Lussier's trump card is a distinctive blend of new technology and old-fashioned prosthetic effects.
Made for the genre's fans, this exploitation item delivers the basic goods by applying modernist technology and f/x to a formulaic slasher of the 1980s.
It manages a few surprises -- and in a genre as worn-out as this one, a few surprises are all it takes.
If you're expecting lots and lots of extreme gore you won't be disappointed.
Blending ample serves of gore and nudity with a dash of self-awareness, Lussier skilfully uses the 3D format to simulate the perspectives of both predator and victim...
undeniably hokey, but also giddily effective, with the 3-D turning what might otherwise be a routine slash-and-hack job into a ridiculously gory theme park ride
It will appeal to slasher fans (though it's by no means a standout example of the genre) and those with a black sense of humour who will no doubt think the in-bred, mean, cheating folks in this town are getting the devil they deserve.
A strange synergy of old and new, My Bloody Valentine 3D blends cutting-edge technology and old-school prosthetics to produce something both familiar and alien: gore you can believe in.
Top Criticmakes great use of the 3-D format in a better than average horror film.
The new remake of My Bloody Valentine wasn't screened for the press, which was a mistake; it's actually more interesting, more fun and better made than most of the big movies that were screened.
This is a fun midnight movie.
It is one of the best times I've had at a horror movie in years.
