of all the stupidass things youths in slasher movies have ever done, getting drunk and going down into a mine for fun has to be in the top 3 worst ideas

First off, the scream-factory restoration of the uncut material, mostly being lingering gore inserts of dangling eyeballs and pick-axe punctures, is beautiful. While being a golden-age slasher, it's still uncommonly visceral. The ensemble cast give the story a compelling seriousness that resides within a blue-collar milieu. Why is a mining town and their 30 year old workers so invested in a Valentine's Day dance? At the end of the day, it doesn't matter, My Bloody Valentine sells it. All the red and pink colors are lovely, mixing well with the pastel blood and guts, and the final act is fucking scary. Most slashers don't freak me out like this one does. The hopelessness of the mine caverns, the dark pathways and the unsettling image of a man in a gas mask - it's determined and relentless by the end. Watch it if you haven't.
my fav scene is when a man gets sent a severed heart in a candy box and when he opens it he looks genuinely bummed that he didn’t get chocolates and not even slightly concerned with the fact it’s a human heart, i totally feel that.
My Bloody Valentine is easily one of my very favorite slasher films, and for my money one of the best. 1981 was a hell of a year for the genre, in fact, 1978 to 1984 may be my most watched era of horror, producing a bevy of films that I'd easily call some of my favorites.
I've always been fascinated by this movie... after the big name slasher films I found my way to this, The Burning, and The Prowler (which is a fun double bill with MBV!). I think I was around 13 or 14 when I first saw it, IMMEDIATELY after I couldn't wait to watch the sequel... My Bloody Valentine II: Roses are red, Violets are blue, you better watch…
