The new one-sheet below, which was originally posted over at UGO, for My Bloody Valentine 3-D is pretty lackluster, methinks. It looks like some generic piece of crap you’d see at either Disney’s or Universal’s theme parks promoting a seven minute 3-D roller coaster ride instead of a feature film. It practically screams, “We have no faith in the quality of the film’s storyline, but we know you’ll love it for the 3-D FX alone!”
The film now supposedly has an R-rating for “graphic, brutal horror violence and grisly images throughout, some strong sexuality, graphic nudity and language” but you’d never guess it by looking at this poo. Give me the original coal miner-masked killer stained with blood any day of the week over this populist garbage.
Safe to say this isn’t going to make me run right out and see this rehash when it hits theaters in the New Year.
For those of you that care about this rip-off, My Bloody Valentine 3-D is directed by Patrick Lussier (Dracula 2000) and stars Jensen Ackles, Jaime King and Kerr Smith. The story centers on Tom (Ackles) returning to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine’s night massacre that claimed the lives of 22 people. Instead of a homecoming, though, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders, and it seems like his old flame (King) is the only one who believes he’s innocent.
