I watched this last night on the independent film channel and was expecting a much better movie than I got,especially since I had been hearing horror fans rave about it for as long as I can remember. The characters just didn't click with me.In fact they pretty much bugged me. The killer was cool and the film has some nice kills overall,but those were the only good qualities in it.Definitely not the great horror movie I was expecting.

Great kills indeed but nothing more than that. I thought it was slightly overrated upon my first viewing of it 4 years ago.I think it gets alot of respect because it's a nostalgia movie from the old school.I'd rate it about 6/10.

Overrated??! This is one of the best slasher movies of the 80s.I will agree that some of the characters are an annoyance but the overall feel and being simple yet effective is what really makes this movie so good.

I've never seen this sad to say but I'd better get moving on it because I hear theres a sequel or a remake in the works for this movie.Not sure which one.

I watched My Bloody Valentine 2 days ago and I really think you should watch this movie again.I don't see how anyone can not like this great piece of 80s horror nostalgia. #Oogle_anim# |

I just felt with al the hype I've seen it get over the time I've been a horror fan,it didn't live up to that hype.It had some good suspense moments and good kills,but I;m the kind of person who if the characters bug me too much I give the overall film a bad grade. |

I watched this at a friends house a few days ago and I found it more funnier than anything else.Especially the first death scene where the woman who is sporting a heart-shaped tattoo on her chest is impaled through the heart,classic.I thought it was a good slasher film for the period in time however.The scene where the 2 dudes and the girl are climbing the ladder to escape the killer only to have a dead body get tossed down at them was a very nicely done scene.What made this movie work for me was that it took place inside a mine.The dark,dank, inner-mine atmosphere set up a really great finale.

Being partial to slasher movies I think this one is a pretty good oldie.The killer had a kick ass outfit and the pick axe is always a great weapon for a slasher.The sequels script is already done I think and I'm looking forward to it.I just hope they get to working on it soon.
