ZoeMovieReviews: My Bloody Valentine

My Bloody Valentine This is a 1981 Canadian slasher film directed by George Mihalka and written by John Beaird. The Plot An old man tells a story that happened a decade ago surrounding a deranged murderer killing those who celebrate Valentine's Day.   It turns out to be real when a young teenager group dares the killer's order and people start turning up dead. I really enjoyed this film a lot. This film actually surprised me to be honest, didn’t know what to expect and thought it be one of those typical slasher films, but it isn’t. This film is something different. This is such a very fun film to watch! I loved the fun ‘country music’ and men joking around in the shower at the start.   This made the film open up to be bit more of an interesting and fun horror film to watch. The acting in this film I thought was really good. There are times in the film where it gets intense which I liked, whereas some h...

The Plot The soul of a young girl with telekinetic powers becomes the prize in a fight between forces of God and the Devil. Well this film was quite good. Not expecting it to be as I haven’t heard anyone talk about this film at all. The first few opening scenes to this film was really good. The acting to this film was great and the score was brilliant. It suited the tone of the film. On a side note this film is really bizarre so don’t get freaked out because of that reason. This film is very interesting and is well directed. There are a few dull moments here and there which is a shame really. They could of cut the running time for this a bit more. The little girl is this film is so evil. I can understand why I enjoyed the ending to this film a lot more (no spoilers) although lot of bi...

The Plot A woman travels to an isolated cabin she begins to think she is losing her mind when her boyfriend comes to stay. This is a very interesting ghost film. It is very good and well directed.

The Plot A sleazy cable-TV programmer begins to see his life and the future of media spin out of control in a very infrequent fashion when he obtains a new kind of programming for his station. Wow.

Although Deborah Harry is a singer she can act well too. The score to this film is great and it suits the tone of the film. This film is very interesting and intriguing to watch and I don’t think there is any other films quite like this at all. I liked some of the gore in the film it wasn’t too over the top just the right amount but not enough to call it a full on horro...
