			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-214" style="padding:10px;" title="my-bloody-valentine-review" src="http://www.aguyinhisbasement.com/wp-content/my-bloody-valentine-review.jpg" alt="my-bloody-valentine-review" width="300" height="208" />Let me just begin by saying &#8220;No, I did not see this in 3D.&#8221;  During its theatrical run (which lasted a pitiful 56 days), the film featured 3D visuals (with the purchase of 3D glasses of course) in an attempt to have the action &#8216;leap out&#8217; at the audience and add to the scares.  Whether or not this added anything to the film, I can&#8217;t say, however I&#8217;m quite certain it would have novelty, short lived or otherwise.</p>
<p>What I CAN say, is that this was a surprisingly well acted, well shot film, with an unfortunate plot.  As the story goes&#8230; 10 years ago, a miner decided to go crazy and kill his co-workers while working deep in a mine.  He was presumed dead, only to return a decade later to kill again.  For what reason?  I was never entirely sure, even though the film drags you back through the entire film putting together the pieces of the puzzle and showing why everything happened.  Watching a horror film for the plot though is like eating taco bell because of the fibre.  The gory death scenes are what shine here.</p>
<p>With the exception of the Final Destination films, the deaths in this film were some of the most creative I&#8217;ve ever seen.  At one point (I&#8217;m not joking) you see a jaw FLY towards the screen as its pulled off the victim.  This definitely isn&#8217;t for the squeamish, however Peter Jackson may get a kick out of it as <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092610/" target="_blank">Bad Taste</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/" target="_blank">Dead Alive</a> are two films that quickly come to mind regarding original death scenes.</p>
<p>The performances were surprisingly decent, especially with a relatively unknown cast working with such tongue-in-cheek material.  The dialog helped to fill the gaps between the inevitable murders, of which there are plenty.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">SYNOPSIS : If you are looking for a very basic horror film with some extra gruesome murder scenes and to have a laugh with your friends, give this a whirl.  If you are looking for ANYTHING beyond that, don&#8217;t bother.  The story is absurd and there will be the occasional groan as the plot holes start to show up. </span></p>
