Pros: Nice setting and gimmick; special edition version has some cool gore effects restored Cons: Stay away from the lousy theatrical cut
In the early 1980s, with John Carpenter's Halloween raking in boatloads of cash at the box office, it's understandable that the major Hollywood studios would be quick to jump on the bandwagon and produce all sorts of slasher flicks. For the ...
Pros: restored uncut edition Cons: the theatrical cut is nothing special
I was never a fan of 1981's My Bloody Valentine, but when I heard it was being remade, I was excited. The movie had to be heavily cut in order to avoid an X rating, and the result was a slasher with some shockingly weak death ...
Pros: The uncut edition of a surprisingly potent old-school slasher film finally on DVD. Cons: It's formulaic to a fault.
The slasher film may have existed prior to Halloween, but it wasn't until the success of John Carpenter's independently-made scarefest that it seemed horror was the new industry standard. By 1980, when Friday the 13th turned a ...

There were countless slasher flicks that came from the perverse imagination of their creators and onto the big screen in the eighties; I know because I’ve seen a good portion of them. Yet, I was mining the library collection and came across one I only ...
Pros: Some solid jolts and gore. Cons: The actors speak.
My friend Dave and I were discussing if we should review My Bloody Valentine, and I realized that the conversation he and I were having was already more of a review than it deserved. Here's the transcript. If it seems that "not a lot of work"...
Pros: Some suspense Cons: Unoriginal, dated effects, poor acting
Pretty much thanks to John Carpenters classic "Halloween" (1978) any day of the year can become a horror film; "Friday The 13th" (1980), "Mother's Day" (1980) "April Fool's Day" (1986) etc. So on to "My Bloody Valentine" (1981). Synopsis: 20 years ...
