Back in the day when I was a wee little horror movie psycho, I rented every horror movie I could get my hands on. One of these gems happen to be My Bloody Valentine. What I remembered was a psychotic person was killing people in a mining town with a pick-axe and when the movie ends he gets away minus an arm. Fast forward about 25 + years and I purchased said movie on DVD to bask in some childhood glory gore. WOW was I a little disappointed. No gore what-so-ever. It still has that great mediocre 80's slasher flick vibe about it but not enough blood and guts to fill my tank.
This brings me to the recently released re-make directed by Patrick Lussier (Dracula 2000). Lets start out with my favorite part, the gore. AWESOME!!! From just a few minutes in we see blood soaked walls, leg-less torsos and open chest cavities, then it gets even better. I am not into spoilers so all I will say is it over-filled my gore tank. The story followed the original loosely but had enough in common not to displease. The acting is what you would expect from a bunch of 20 somethings trying to act older and full of wisdom. Now the 3-D part. Full thumbs up and no complaints. It has to be the best 3-D movie I have seen outside of Disney World. The 3-D really showed its stuff when you were put in an environment with lots of depth. Whether it was in a house, the mines or in a grocery store. Superb. I can not give enough praise about the whole 3-D element. Oh! one more thing. MBV3-D has something the original did not, lots of T&A courtesy of Betsy Rue. So in closing go see this movie in 3-D only, it is worth the extra couple of bucks for the blood, gore and Betsy's assests.
