Though never a landmark in the slasher subgenre, the Canadian-made My Bloody Valentine (1981) was a favorite among gorehounds for its plentiful scenes of bloodshed; the 2009 remake sticks closely to the original in this respect, and ups the gross factor by rendering many of them in impressive 3-D. The core plot, penned by Todd Farmer and Zane Smith, remains essentially the same–a series of gruesome murders appears to be linked to a terrible mine accident from two decades ago–but just as with the original, it’s largely just a framework on which to string the carnage set pieces, which are splattery enough to please even the most jaded Saw or Hostel fanatic. The Real-D effects deliver the required degree of heart-stopping jumps without the usual eye strain, and if one can snicker away old standbys like a tree branch crashing through a windshield, one has to admire the chutzpah of presenting actress Betsey Rue’s pursuit of a wayward bed partner while fully naked and toting a shotgun in full and vibrant 3-D, moments before the pickaxe-wielding killer descends upon her. Rue’s scenery-chewing performance is the best of the twenty-something cast, which is led by Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles and Jaime King; character actors Kevin Tighe and Tom Atkins deliver their moments like the old pros they are. Though by no means a new horror classic, My Bloody Valentine 3-D sets the gross-out bar for all future slasher remakes to surpass. — Paul Gaita

I’m beyond dissapointed with this bloodless F13 remake, they didn’t try anything new or shocking, even standard for the 80s, shame!

That’s why I bring My Bloody Valentine 3D to the discussion, I was beyond impressed with what they got away in the end. It’s brutal, shocking & unexpected. I love the kills in that one, I can’t even mention one memorable murder in the F13 redux.

these are probably the best two things in my life.

titties and Jason

i agree with you john on debi vorhees…she’s the bomb. the fullscreen print of pt 5 is awesome because you can also see her ass and almost a crotch shot when she’s laying in the woods.

i was quite disappointed with the fake ass titties in this new one. the chick at the beginning was decent, and the waterskiing scene was ok. but the other chicks tits were not stupendous.

Another great thing about the Final Chapter is that it had something for both boys & girls, the chicks got to see plenty of male buttocks, unlike the watered down remake.

On a side note, the girl with the best breasts in the original series was Debi Sue Voorhees. Very hot chick, no one could compete with her breasts. The waitress in part five would be second place to Debi Sue. Now that I found out that girl’s breasts are fake, I will have to go with Willa Ford and the girl Trent banged in his bedroom.

Also another thing that could have been included was full frontal nudity from that same girl. I don’t mind if a girl has some intelligence, it would be a nice touch.
