maraki-lost How did he change into and out of the uniform so quickly?How did he get into every house/building without making himself known, without making ANY sounds at all? He is supposed to be a serial killer not a witch...He is only human!How did he go from having post traumatic stress disorder to actually assuming the identity of Harry? We see him taking meds and going over the incident again and again so we do know that he distinguishes between himself and Harry. How the heck does he go from that to actually being/thinking he is Harry?? And of course he only needs his name called to come back to his original self and a minute after he thinks he's Harry again. And of course, he doesn't die after a shot to the chest and he definitely isn't affected by fire!Apart from his character, everyone knows the US has a weird fascination with guns yet only one person seems to own one in the film and no one takes any precautions against the serial killer that's supposed to have made his comeback. Axel wants police guarding his house and we see a woman who is scared of her own shadow and hasn't realized the killer is inside the house already trying to protect Axel's kid. So basically, everyone is worthless, no one can fight back, everyone makes the wrong moves so that the killer kills as many as he can, because that's what people wanna see I guess?I understand it's just a film, but the plot holes were so huge that I couldn;t enjoy it and see past them.
harleyburnett "My Bloody Valentine 3D" is a marvelous rendition of an 80's classic updated with care to create one of the best "remakes" out there. The film does not stray to far from its predecessor yet adds to it in a visually stunning form. Even in 2-D it shines as though it were made back in the 80s! The character development is what I enjoyed the most as it gave a nice change from topless blonde teens running to their deaths. The coal miner "Harry Warden" awakens from his one year coma and wreaks havoc but for a short period as he is gunned down later on. Ten years pass and the town of Harmony wants to forget about this terrible event in their history. Tom Hanniger returns to town to sell his fathers mining facility and catches up with the townsfolk only for a mysterious man in a coal miner outfit to show up and begin a murdering spree. Is it Harry Warden back from the dead or an impostor? The plot to this film is average but the kills are great. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a great night of fright and suspense.
bratty101 My Bloody Valantine 09 is the best remade slasher and probably the best slasher movie since the scream trilogy ended back in 2000.This has decent acting from all involved. The Direction is slick, fast paced and the chase sequences the best part of any slasher movie are very well done here as well. There is also a whodunit aspect which is also not bad.Supernatural fans will have fun watching Jensen Ackles finally move out of his Dean Winchester role into a big budget slasher flickoverall its a great fun and thrilling horror movie to watch on a late Friday or Saturday night in the dark with the surround sound up high
DesertDogMedia Title: My Bloody ValentineCondensed Storyline: This is a remake of the 1981 movie of the same name. I am generally neutral to remakes and reboots mainly because I get to see the same movie more or less with better camera quality and different actors. Sometimes it is good like the Dredd reboot or sometimes it bad like the Total Recall remake. The plot is that an old man who killed his fellow miners wakes up and goes on a killing spree, targeting the teens in the old mine before just moving onto random victims. The police arrive and shoot Harry, who runs off into the mines deeper. But he seems to return 10 years later, just as Tom revisits the town. It then turns into a blame game with everyone accusing each other of being the killer. But as people get picked off one by one, you see the miner go after Tom. This leads everyone to believe the miner is Axel, but the surprise plot twist at the end reveals that Tom was diagnosed with a mental disorder and his split personality is the miner who is killing everyone. But I really enjoy the way that they do it so he isn't aware that he is doing any of it, yet an entire bar fight starts because he simply just walks into the bar. You can really sympathize with the character. They think they kill him, but in the end he is shown to have survived. Notable Acting: I liked the cast, not everyone equally. That is natural with movies, but every character I found annoying was killed so that made me happy. The main characters are relatable to an extent and are believable mostly. Along with the important point of me actually caring about what happened to them, I wanted Tom to survive and regardless of him being the killer, he did survive. Axel played the dick of a sheriff who is looking more shady as the movie progresses until it is clear that he isn't the miner. The two CONI having sex before they get killed is a bit of stale acting, but in saying that. When has porn or faked porn ever had good acting? But needless to say this keeps my favourite horror movie rule in tact, sex = death. We also get to see actual breasts along with full female nudity in the scene as well. There is until her and the midget get killed. Horror movies just keep giving more reason to be loved regardless of how cheesy many of them are. Noticeable Camera work: Nice focus pull of the bloody hand in the first hospital scene. We get two gems in the space of second between each other, in the mine scene when the CONI (Character of no importance) knocks his head and falls onto the floor we see a worms eye POV view followed by a POV shot, the cinematographer did a good job there. The main stable of the camera work is the cinematographer's amazing use of POV shots, along with incorporating them into other kinds of shots. Similar to their use of power position shots such as the worm's and bird's eye shots. We see a split screen on Tom and the miner while Tom is in the cage. Knowing that Tom is the miner allows you to see this from a new perspective as you can see it as Tom looking at his darker represented by the miner, this is made better by the fact that for the first part, the miner mimics Tom's moves. We also get a zoom in shot of Tom in the cage accompanied by the music spiking to rise the tension. One of the greatest pieces of editing I've seen has to be at the end when Tom is smashing out the light, as the light goes out you see the miner within the split second, this is simple but so damn effective and impressive. Graphics: To give you a bit of backstory about the events which lead up to the movie, we are given a comic/newspaper style intro with voice over. Those who read my review of Repo The Genetic Opera knows that I was very fond of his graphic in that movie, I am fond of it in this movie also. Even if it is only for the opening title scene. The mutilation effects are actually quite good, but it differs from a movie like Scream where it is just body stabbings, this move has pickaxes going through heads and knocking out eyes and all sorts.Costume: The blood dripping from the hand is less realistic however as once it drops you see it string slightly, blood behaves more like water in the sense that it drop without it's string trail. The actual costume of the miner is consisted of overalls, hosed gas mask and helmet with light on it. This does actually give the look of an old miner and the lenses of the gas mask are darkened so you can't see the eyes, holds similar to other horror movie villains who's face and eyes you cannot see. Dehumanizes them in a manor of speaking. The sound of the forced breathing through the mask adds to that, this can only make things better as this is one of my favourite horror movie killer costumes. Overall Feel: The heavy filtered breathing through the mask is made all the greater when it is accompanied by silence of everyone including most of the musical score. Just adds that sense of tension to an already suspenseful movie. His movie is also very creative for the ways it kills some characters, an example is where one CONI is killed by a shovel style decapitation. Simple, enjoyable coherent horror slasher movie. This is high if not at the top of my horror list. Low rating on IMDb is a shame.
