My Bloody Valentine (1981)


      Watched My Bloody Valentine, a film by George Mihalka.  Overall I was not that impressed.  The movie is about these miners that got buried alive while underground while a valentines day dance was going on, one guy named Harry Warden survived and has killed people every time the town had a valentines day dance.

     I think I enjoyed the idea of this movie more than the story itself. I found the gas mask to be a creepy thing for a killer to wear, and to have him kill people with the pick axe he used while mining was cool.  What WASN'T cool was the killings/deaths of this movie.  Every time someone was about to be killed by Harry Warden the movie would cut out to a different scene, then later on show the outcome of the killings.  The normal horror movie would show everything. 


    Not much else to say, the acting was alright, except for this one girl who freaked the fuck out during all the deaths, but when Harry Warden was right in front of her, she barely reacted. tha fack.  I was convinced one actor was Chris Parnell, but according to IMDB it wasnt! so that sucked. Anyways, watch this movie if you wanna see a wannabe slasher movie, with an okay story.


     My main flaw was with the end, with the killer ending up being Axl.  So why Axl?, because Harry Warden killed his father.  Now what im confused with is, why would Axl want to kill all of his friends because of what Harry Warden did to his father?. Doesn't make any sense, if anything Axl should have hunted down Harry Warden and killed him!  I'm still scratching my head about that one, an hour after watching.
