Last year, around Valentine's Day, I reviewed the rather craptacular " Valentine ".  This year, I'm going to be reviewing a true classic of of the holiday horror films- the 1981 Canadian made, " My Bloody Valentine ", since I was able to find a copy and watch it this year. Sorry it's a week late... shall I give you my heart? After a mine collapse caused by negligence on Valentine's Day, Harry Warden is found alive, but insane... having eaten the others trapped with him.  A year, Harry returns and kills several people- warning the town of Valentine's Bluff that it'll happen again if they ever throw another Valentine's Day dance. The town has faithfully heeded this warning until one year, against the requests of the sheriff, a small group decide to have a Valentine's Day party... out at the mine where Harry went insane... This is classic 1980's horror material.  You can certainly see elements of John Carpenter's ...

In honour of today being Valentine's Day... a day when we all want to win that "special" someone's heart (and possibly gnaw on it a bit), I thought I would revisit a horror movie based on this romantic day.  I remember watching the original "My Bloody Valentine" several years ago, but I can't remember enough to do a decent review of it- nor have I seen the recent remake of it. So, alas, I will have to shoot my arrows at the 2001 teen slasher move, "Valentine".  I wish I could say these were arrows of love, but alas (I do love that word), I can not.  Cupid's arrow misses the mark with this not so sweet gift. Even though I do enjoy David  Boreanaz in the TV show "Angel", and as FBI Special Agent Seely Booth on "Bones", he wasn't quite able to save this film from being a Valentine offering I'd like to return to sender.  Nor could Denise Richards' hotness, since she was a big draw name at the time.  The rest ...
