I can't seem to find this flick anywhere outside of the larger cities. Has anyone seen it and would you recommend it? I saw the movie years ago, and would be going just for the effects. If I have to travel a couple of hours each way, I want to make sure it's good.
Cheers.

Here is a review excerpt of the movie from Mr. Filthy (one of my favorite movie critics):

"Beyond 3D, My Bloody Valentine is generic. The movie Scream and its sequels must be far enough in the past now that moviemakers can once again use the hoary old tricks and plots of the seventies and eighties. The only difference between this flick and its predecessors is that now the irrational, indestructible killer is a coalminer who wears heavy coveralls and a breathing apparatus that makes him sound like either an obscene phone caller or a fat kid with asthma. Oh, and the backstory is as belabored as that same fat kid during PE."

The rest of the review is here, but it is NSFW (Mr. Filthy swears a lot, hence his name) and has spoilers:

Yeah, I know the movie sucks, I was just looking for some first hand experience regarding the special effects. By this I mean, will it be worth it for me to slump my fat arse 2 hours to Seoul or not. The movie is total crap, but on the commercials, the special effects look like they might be pretty awesome. Friday the 13th 3D was a crap movie but the effects were awesome.

Bump. Is this out yet? Also curious about the 3D thing... and I have a soft spot for shity horror movies.

What's the deal. Do they give you 3D glasses at the theater or something??

I dunno if you read the review on the link I provided, but here is what he says about the 3D:

"My Bloody Valentine 3D sure as hell ain't worth $12.50. It's not worth regular prices for the 2D version, and it won't even be worth watching for free on TBS in a couple years. I will say, though, that's it's the first of this new breed of 3D movies that embraces the tacky, cornball potential of three dimensions. You see more dangerous stuff flying at you than would a guy wearing a PETA shirt at a crossbow convention. There are picks, fiery explosions, *beep*, pans, guts, brooms and teenagers. It's not to the level of Dr. Tongue holding his western shirt to the camera in Midnight Cowboy 2 in 3D. Still, it's more than any of the other recent flicks who try pretend it's not just a gimmick."

Sounds like fun to me. I like how on the TV commercial when he faces the screen they simulate light coming out.
I like anything 3D and from that guy's review, sounds like this will be even more fun.

As usual, not paying attention. I just noticed on the commercial that it comes out on the 23rd of this month.
