LOL terrible movie.
...
I considered making that the entire post, but even in jest poor grammar with no explanation can make me cringe.
Billy has been dying to see My Bloody Valentine 3D for weeks. Out here in Queens they're only playing the non-3D movie, so we had to find a day when we were both free and, preferably, already in Manhattan. We tried going about three times last week alone, but were constantly foiled for one reason or another.
But last night! We made it!
Thank god we saw it in 3D because that was the only redeeming factor.
Seriously, it wasn't even scary. I jumped a couple of times, mostly because some lethal weapon was being slammed into my face, but that doesn't make a good horror movie. Or have we stopped considering these slasher films to be horror?
Honestly, by the third time the Valentine's day massacre came around, I started closing my eyes when people were getting killed. There are only so many innovative ways that a person's face can be impaled on a pickaxe, so it got quite dull for me. Blood =/= scary in my book.
Also? Everyone in this movie is INCREDIBLY DUMB, even for slasher/horror movie standards. Our theatre was outright laughing at a lot of times that I don't think were supposed to be funny.
The 3D was really good, though. Now can someone use this "Real-D" technology on a film that is worth paying $29 for?
