original.. i watch it every valentines day since my parents recorded it in 1984.. its a tradition. thank god i got it on dvd years ago..now its a tradition with my boyfriend.. have a bloody valentine people :) Whats your damage heather?-veronica sawyer
The original is far superior... the uncut My Bloody Valentine definitely stands out amongst its slasher movie bretheren; it's much more subtle and atmospheric than the others. Very well crafted, to be sure.
The remake, while it had occasional worthwhile moments and Tom Atkins, was just lame.
The remake was successful large in part to the 3D effect, which was fun.
The original is good though. If you've already seen the remake, the original might be a letdown, not to mention the fact that it's close to 30 years old so it's dated also but it's not a bad film, no.
It's not dated except maybe for the hair and clothes. The special effects were pretty good for the time - and I prefer that over CGI anyway (I haven't seen the remake)
Normally I almost always favor the originals, but in this case I have to go with the remake. I thought MBV 09 was just a lot of fun where as the original was entertaining, but I was slightly bored at times.
Suspense level was decent and it had a creepy vibe, but it all depends on what you are looking for I suppose.
You talk tough over the net I'd like to see you try and kick me in the face. Don't be one of those bitches that talks trash over the net. Be a real man.
So like I said to you on another post I'll call your bluff. Anytime you wanna attempt it let me know.
Completely agree. The storyline in the new one is AWFUL. There's not even a f_ucking dance, which totally gives away who it is. And don't get me started on the cliche "surprise" twist. So many movies in recent years pull that sh*t and think they're being clever. Newsflash: YOU AREN'T.
Like most in this thread, I like the original more, preferably the uncut version. That being said, I did find MBV3D to be a far more enjoyable movie than either the Halloween or the Friday the 13th remakes.
The original is waaaay better than the crappy remake! The new one has got no atmosphere, no plot, CGI, bad actors/characters and a stupid twist. Even if you considered it as a standalone film it's just bad, lame & cheap looking! I don't know what's going on these days, just make a movie with an alibi plot, use bad/unlikable actors, fast pace + gore (worst example: Friday the 13th remake)! And these movies easily cash in more than the originals! The remake is even rated higher than the original here! I just don't get it! :( It has been really easy becoming a successful director or writer over the last ten years, just copy an older movie! You'll have success and make money. Welcome to Hollywood!
I watched the original many years ago, then watched the remake and I really liked it. But, after watching the original today for the first time in years, I realize that it is a much better film. More suspense and more deaths I believe. I like them both, but the original is more of a mining massacre, where the 2nd one doesn't seem so focused on the mine which takes away from the story.
