The Bloodcurdling "My Bloody Valentine 3D" Review!! (not really)

I knew going into this *sigh* remake of the classic slasher film of same name that I probably was not going to enjoy myself that much. But, all of my friends said,"The movie isn't that great, but the 3d glasses made the whole experience something amazing!!" So I watched part of it in 3d, and I have to admit, it was a 3d movie like I have never seen before. Basically everything in this movie is in three dimensions, even something as mundane as the credits seemed to roll at a brighter pace. Did that save the actual movie itself? I don't think so.

I did a bad, bad thing. I watched the movie withouth the 3d turned on. Frankly, the glasses were uncomfortable and I was getting tired of my 19 month old son trying to steal them. Yes, I realize this changed the whole experience, but a good 3d movie should also be a fair 2d movie as well. This is in no way the worst movie I have ever seen, but it just doesn't hold up as a slasher movie.
Yes, there are titties. And blood. And gore of sorts, but even the gore was pretty lame without 3d glasses. To be fair, it isn't anyone in particular's fault that this remake was not at its best. Frankly, the original is considered one of the more low rent slasher movies of the 80's.

The story follows a miner who apparently didn't "bleed the lines" and got a bunch of his coworkers seriously injured or dead. He goes to the mine to party one night(already, the plot is shabby) and along comes a man in a miner's uniform to come and slash slash slash. The "idiot" lives through the murder attempt and the slasher is seemingly shot dead, but oh no, the murders done by maniacle slasher still continue and he is killing people close to "idiot'.

A few of the effects were down right awesome, and for that I applaud this film. For the rest of the movie, it just doesn't pan out. I would say avoid this one, if you have to see anything rent the original and you will see why a remake was not the best of ideas.
