My Bloody Valentine 3D

My god was I ever hyped for this one. This was almost like this year's Cloverfield, only I wasn't quite as excited as I was for that one. I do still think this year will both revive and murder the 3D movie, but until that happens I'm gonna enjoy them. 

Horror movies are the perfect genre to make the jump into the third dimension. It works so well. The real test though, and the same goes for just about any 3D movie, would the movie be worth watching if it was just 2D? Well I've seen 2 3D movies up until this point, Spy Kids 3D and Journey to the Centre of the Earth. For both of those movies I would say absolutely not. The 3D is the only redeeming quality about them for sure. 

My Bloody Valentine though, in itself is an entertaining movie, no matter what dimension you're watching it in. It never felt like they were making it for the sake of making a 3D movie. It felt more like they had a pretty entertaining movie already, and decided to put it in 3D to make it that much more awesome.

I haven't seen the original in many years now but I don't think this one really strays too far from it overall. It would feel right at home if it were released in the 80's during the whole slasher movie craze. It's fun, it's gory, it's silly, and it's just a lot of fucking fun.

Then when you factor in the 3D it jumps things up about 20 more notches. I loved the 3D in this. Some effects were better than others but there was a lot of great moments that actually had me occasionally leaning back in my seat. I liked that the effects moments were natural and not forced. There weren't really any "hey hand me that pole" "ok" (slowly jams pole towards camera)  or "awesome a yo-yo" type moments. All of the 3D fit perfectly into the movie and felt very natural.

Overall I loved the experience of watching the movie, and even enjoyed the movie itself too. Definitely check this one, but in 3D if possible. I think it will lose something when you enter that boring fucking second dimension.
