Critics Consensus

My Bloody Valentine stumbles through a cinematic coal mine of mechanical scares, bland characters, and a contrived, blood-soaked plot that's as predictable as it is unimaginative.

1.5/4

The Canadian producers of George Mihalka's My Bloody Valentine do everything they can to make us believe that the grisly events depicted... are happening in America and not the Maritime Provinces. Their reasons are not patriotic.
