not for kids
Ultra-gory slasher remake isn't for kids.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this ultra-gory slasher/horror remake is full of foulmouthed, unsavory characters, many of whom end up getting speared by pickaxe blades, shot, dismembered, and/or eviscerated. Human hearts are torn out and put inside chocolate boxes. There's extensive nudity in a sex scene that eventually becomes a nude chase-murder scene. Teenagers drink with abandon, police officers are unethical, husbands are unfaithful, and boyfriends are menacing. Strong language flows freely, from "damn" to "f--k" and everything in between.
- Families can talk about the appeal of this type of horror movie. Why do audiences enjoy watching people be hideously killed? How does seeing this type of violence affect viewers?
- How does this kind of horror film compare to scares in older movies of the 1950s, '40s,and '30s, when audiences got their thrills from the tamer Dracula, WolfMan, or Black Lagoon creature?
- Parents, ask your teens about theirfavorite horror movies or slasher villains. Why do they like them? Whatsets one apart from the other?
The good stuff
-
Messages: Repeated themes of infidelity in relationships and cops behaving badly (vigilante justice or worse).
-
Role models: Nobody worth emulating here -- the characters are pretty much uniformly unsavory and unsympathetic.
What to watch for
-
Violence: Bloody dismembered bodies, characters speared with pickaxes through the skull and torso. One such impaling makes a bloody eyeball pop out of the face. Another rips off a man's jaw and throws it across the film frame. A girl's head is split in two by a shovel. Characters are shot at close range. Visuals of ripped-out human hearts, as well as the gaping chest cavities.
-
Sex: Characters make a "sex tape" together in a softcore scene that features both male (from the rear) and female (from about every angle there is) nudity. An extended chase scene shows the same actress fully naked. Dialogue includes references to "hand jobs," marital infidelity, and out-of-wedlock pregnancy.
-
Language: Frequent strong language, including numerous uses of "f--k" and "s--t," as well as "c--k," "p---y," "ass," "bitch," "damn," and "oh my God."
-
Consumerism: Some product names in the background of a grocery store, barely distinct.
-
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Cigarette smoking, some drinking (including underaged). One character is obviously drunk. A main character takes some sort of prescription medication for mental illness.

Here's a review for ya! by gbwc
So, I totally saw this movie in Raleigh the other night with my two BFF's. I like to call them the Brents. Anyway, I have to admit that when I found out it would be an extra $2.50 for a 3-D movie I was like, 'Whaaaat?!" But the Brents were like, "Waaaay!" Anyway, I am sooooo glad that I went for it. From the the first eye popping scene, to the axe picking finish, I was like, "Word. This is dope." BTW, the girl that kept yelling behind me was totally right. That girl was stoopid. And let me just say there aint nothing with a little gratuitous skin. 18 minutes, word. And speaking of totally right, the lady that took my ticket was on point, too. She was all, "Make sure you do your bidness before you go in ther..." At first I was all, "Huh?" But after I was thankful that I did cuz that junk were so scary that I woulda gone in my pants. Beside, using the urinal in 3-D is now what I am all about. Go see this movie. It will not disappoint! You heard it here. Yes, Yes, Ya'll!

GREAT MOVIE by andy_8482
I enjoyed it. It wasn't your typical horror flick. You really didn't know who the killer was until it was revealed at the end of the movie. Everyone should go see it! The 3D effects in it were great. On top of that it was funny as hell. I love scary movies. And lately most of them have been really whack, but this one was great.

A Gory Masterpiece!!!!!!!! by MovieMobster08
Okay you people who dont apreciate good old fashoin fun with gore and new age 3-D you can go fall in a hole. This movie had me guessing who is doing this had me wanting to see the next person die in sum disterbing way and what body parts are going to fly in the addience next this movie is an A plus blockbuster and is worth seeing in 3-D but only in 3-D because the storys good but its not going to make you want to watch again and again if itz 2-D. But over all this is a great b-movie to see with friends not with you girlfriend... why ow did i mention theres a 5 minute 3-D sex seen ow well now you know and you dont want you girlfriend fussing at you cuss your injoying it do you?
Movie Grade, MBV 3-D gets 9.5-10
MBV 2-D gets 7.5-10

My Bloody Valentine by donnakatherine
3D movies have come a long way from the old paper glasses with one red & blue eye. This movie was good it had a story that was good for a horror movie and you had suff jumping out at you through the whole movie. Im not a fan of blood & guts but I lost a bet & had to take my boyfriend b/c he has never seen a 3d movie & he happens to like these kind of movies, I was impressed & I liked it enough to recommend my friends to go see it.

Don't take your boyfriend! Not a date movie!! by moviecritic77
Sure it was kind of scary only because of the music and loud noises but in the movie there is about 10 minutes of some blonde chick running around totally naked, full frontal view and everything! Maybe its just me but I think it's annoying to be watching a movie with my boyfriend with naked girls running around everywhere, especially in 3-D! But if thats not how you feel, go for it! over all, the movie was pretty good. But i dont think it was worth how much I paid.

Movie-Goer by turtle-queen
This was my first experience w/a 3D movie, and let me tell you I should have chosen a light hearted movie vs. a horror movie! It was VERY intense and very real too. I was pleasantly surprised that the movie had a plot and wasnt just an excuse for 3D. I was on the edge of my seat, grabbing at my husband, the ENTIRE time! I would definitely purchase the dvd when it comes out!

Awsome a new classic by ibk33M
A gruesome combonation of Jason, Micheal Myers, and Saw series with a twist like 23 the movie carries you with well balancesd suspense and gut wrenching fatlaities. Seeing this movie without 3D is like wearing a condom during sex you jus dont get the full effect of it all with literal eye popping deaths and side spliting blows! A puzzling plot that once resolved will have you begging for more as your heart beat returns to normal and your breath returns to you. A awsome way to bring in o9 and i look forward to more. great job by the editors, actors, writers, and director. 3D makes blue ray look like SD!!!!

Good vs. Crappy by mooshisooshi1
If you want to make a movie and you're not sure if it will be good, make it 3D. I'm pretty sure this movie would have been a load of crap if not for the 3d effect. Granted it was my first 3d movie.

My Bloody Valentine 3-D by beastrunner17
Great movie, 3-D effects were awesome - didn't just make the pictures come off the screen, made them seem an inch or two away from our faces!
Definitely recommend
