My Bloody Valentine (1981)


Paramount Pictures
Directed by George Mihalka
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Paramount/Lionsgate)

Teens in a rural Canadian mining town plan to reinstate a Valentine's Day dance that had been stopped due to murders that occurred twenty years ago. When body parts start showing up in candy boxes, the sheriff tries to stop it. The teens carry on with a dance at the local mine instead, releasing the rage of the same killer from decades earlier. The new uncut version reinstates all of the censored violence, which is particularly nasty. I can't say it improves the film. It still wallows in a love triangle, is poorly acted and lacks any kind of atmosphere.
