Eye Candy #297 - "My Bloody Valentine 3-D"

My Bloody Valentine 3-D:  Never saw the original horror movie this remake was based off, but I have to say that this one wastes absolutely no time in accruing a body count.  We’ve got people catching pick-axes in the back of the head within 2 minutes of the opening credits, complete with eyes popping out of heads and other heads being severed in two with the creative use of a shovel.  And the situation does not improve for our hapless victims from there, as they are hunted down over a period of years by Harry Warden, a masked homicidal former miner who was the victim of a mine cave-in that left him all kinds of not right in the head.  Lots of gore here (very few of the killings happen off-camera and all the victims are dismembered in some way) along with some odd nudity (at least one character had no budget for costumes, as she is naked the entire time she is on screen), and several of the good ol‘ genre clichés (the inability to outrun a walking villain).  Fun and dumb.  Or dumb and fun.  I can’t tell for sure.  Woodchuck sez, “Fan of the genre will like this.”
