"Nothing says a date movie like a 3-D ride to hell" - MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D trailer!

by Matt Holmes

More movies that bring back the fun of going to the cinema, that's exactly what we need. Don't get me wrong, I'm positive Lionsgate's January horror offering MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D will suck as a movie. It's one of those slasher remakes of a shitty 80's movie but the added gimmick of 3D, which they are not so subtly promoting as the sole reason to see the movie... is actually kind of fun. It harbours back to the best of 50's and 60's horror producer William Castle, whose added theatrical gimmicks, as radical as paying fake audience members to faint during screenings to get himself press attention, gave his movies the aura of something you just had to see. I don't think the 3D gimmick will get too many more audience members in the theatre these days and certainly not in such an ordinary looking slasher film but there might be some fun sequences...

Patrick Lussier who has struggled to make a horror hit with his previous directorial vehicles DRACULA 2000 (and it's two sequels) and WHITE NOISE 2... directs. The pretty cast of Jaime King, Jensen Ackles (Jesus, some of you wanted THAT guy as Captain America??) and FINAL DESTINATION'S Kerr Smith star.

The movie opens January 16th (U.S.) and January 30th (U.K.)
