Happy Valentine's Day
My Bloody Valentine- is a underrated horror jem. It also takes place on a holiday. Yes its one of those horror movies. A horror surrounding around a major holiday.

The plot tells about a group of young adults who decide to throw a Valentine's Day party, only to incur the vengeful wrath of an assailant in mining gear who begins a killing spree.

My Bloody Valentine faced notable censorship, having a total of nine minutes cut by the Motion Picture Association of America due to the amount of violence and gore. Though co-producer Dunning confirmed that the excised footage still existed, attempts to release it proved difficult as Paramount Pictures refused to offer an uncut version. In 2009, Lionsgate subsequently acquired home media rights to the film and released Blu-ray and DVD editions with three minutes of additional footage restored. The same year, Lionsgate released a remake of the film.

Oh yea their is a remake of this film. And that i will be reviewing next.

So overall this movie is a slasher horror movie revolving around a major holiday. That is both underrated and a horror jem. Love hurts doesnt it.


Happy Valentine's Day everybody.

Tediously slow
I haven't seen the original so can't compare them. Seeing it got a remake I assumed the story was good.
It wasn't at all, in this version anyway. It's slow and rather boring. Not helped by the editing or pacing. Going from nothing much happening to the women throwing themselves at him all of a sudden. It lost all sense and any believability very quickly.

Big screen remake of an old 60s TV series, that was actually better than I was expecting!

Starring Steve Carrell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Terence Stamsp (with support from the likes of Terry Crews, and a cameo from Bill Murray), this was more deadpan than I (vaguely) remember (I wasn't around in the 60s, and only caught a few episodes on repeat), although I did pick up on a few of the call backs in the movie to said series.

Not the Jumanji of My Younger Years
I typically don't like "reboots" because most of the time it seems to mean "remake". However, Jumanji is a true reboot. It took the basic premise of the original and completely updated the concept for today's audience. I was super excited to see it as I'm a fan of everyone in the cast and they did not disappoint. Their chemistry was amazing their characters kicked ass and were hilarious.

Lots of running and shouting in the woods
More shaky camera work
More of the same
Nothing new here at all. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a sequel, although I think it is, but it could be a remake. Almost identical to the original scene for scene for large parts. The only difference is the camera is up to date and they have a drone. Don't waste your time.

Artistic Slasher
A very stylish Slasher film that is very different to the norm. I'm not sure if this was a remake of the old Slasher film or not? What makes this stand out is a great performance from Elijah Wood. It's also quite shocking rather than a tongue in cheek horror as most Slasher films fall into. Also the fact the view point of the majority of the film is through the eyes of the killer. Something better and varied to most horror films.

A very well assembled cast in a high quality produced western, which stars and is directed by Ed Harris. The only real problem I kept waiting for all hell to break loose and the pace to be upped a few gears and unfortunately it never really happens. If you don't mind a slower paced western you will enjoy it, if you are after more action I recommend the remake of 3:10 to Yuma.

Some movies are ment to not be a remake
Now don't get me wrong it was a ok movie. But the kind of movie you can watch Once, it struggles to hold my down. The clown was amazing and the actor done an amazing job but the movie was lacking something which I'm not sure what. I wouldn't recommend it. I think the hype was too big for this kind of movie.
