My Bloody Valentine (2009) - Acceptable 'Scream' clone

It seems like ever since 'Scream' revitalised the 'slasher' genre there's been countless imitation, some - such as 'My Bloody Valentine' even going as far as not to even bother being original and simply remaking an old (not that famous) eighties horror movie.  However, this time it's in 3D!

I've watched this version a few times.  Only the once in 3D and I have to say that it didn't add an awful lot to the overall story.  It's about a coal miner (clad in gas mask to conceal his identity until the final act, obviously) who goes around killing people in a small American town.  Nothing special, but the one thing that it does right (and also one of 'Scream's' main selling points) is the way that there are plenty of suspects as to who the killer might be, so there's a chance that you'll pick the wrong one (I did!).

There's some reasonable gore (if you're watching the 2D version you'll be able to tell which scenes were supposed to - literally - be popping out at you) and a bit of nudity and some strong language.   Therefore, it does its best to stay true to a more 'adult' audience.

Other than that there's not too much to say.  Everything about it is 'functional' and, if you like either your slasher films or just enjoy trying to guess who the killer is, this one should fill an hour and a half of your time.

7/10 if I woke up on Groundhog Day and had to watch this again, I could live with that
