A remake of a well-regarded 1981 slasher entry, this holiday horror comes early since February 13, 2009 will see the release of the remake of Friday the 13th. Ten years ago Tom Hanniger (Jensen Ackles) almost became a victim of deranged miner Harry Warden (Rich Walters), who went on a murder spree after nearly dying in a mining accident Tom caused. Now, due to his father’s death, Tom is back to sell the mine. Unwelcome in town, he finds his former flame Sarah (Jaime King) now married to Sheriff Axel Palmer (Kerr Smith). But when someone dressed in miner’s garb starts brutally murdering Tom’s old friends, he lands atop the list of suspects. Is Tom guilty? Is Harry Warden still alive? Or is someone else trying to frame Tom?
While My Bloody Valentine 3D has a serviceable enough horror whodunit plot, the reason to see the film is for the 3D gore effects. Various limbs, organs, and other body parts seemingly end up in the viewer’s lap, and there are plenty of chase sequences and brutal set pieces to keep things moving. But it all gets pretty old too quickly, and without much in the way of character development, this remake falls flat.
