It seems that coal miners can go postal too, and we're
not just talking occupational hazards. My Bloody Valentine,
the retro-homage to vintage screen gore, arrves on DVD serving
up home entertainment 3-D enhanced chills, with stylish
camp. A remake of the 1981 literally underground coal country
serial slasher outing, My Bloody Valentine is directed by
Canadian filmmaker Patrick Lussier, who sharpened his skills,
so to speak, editing for homicidal maniac maven, Wes Craven.
With an imagination on the overactive and unhealthy side
himself, Lussier goes for broke getting pathologically creative
when it comes to bleeding hearts and mistreated midgets,
don't ask.***
The story unfolds in the community of Harmony, where
miner Harry Warden (Rich Walters) falls into a coma following
a deadly tunnel disaster. Awakening long afterwards with
possibly a nasty grudge, anger mismanagement or a bad migraine,
Warden goes on a killing rampage and then disappears into
the mine. When local teens show up to party underground
one night, Warden crashes the festivities suited up in full
gear, and hacks most of them into the afterlife. But he's
tracked down, executed on the spot, and buried in the woods.***
Years later, Tom (Jensen Ackles) one of the teen survivors
and son of the mine owner, comes back to a most unwelcoming
town, to sell off and close the mine. Soon afterwards, Harry
Warden, even more unwelcome than Tom, appears to have returned
from the grave to once again wreak havoc on the locals,
with a thing for that particular holiday. Unfortunately
for the victims, that maladjusted miner will grab your heart.
