MY BLOODY VALENTINE [2009]

Patrick Lussier aims high in remaking the notorious Canadian cult classic slasher My Bloody Valentine in hilariously entertaining 3D.
The cast is lead by a pack of ageing youth TV series stars including Jensen Ackles, Kerr Smith & Jaime King in an attempt to cash in on the modern teen slasher flick craze that's worn out it's welcome 10 years prior to this film.  With it's gratuitous nude scenes, overly played out kills, lame dialogue and wooden characters it feels exactly like a passionate ode to the slasher films of yesteryear and that's why it really isn't that good.
Fun but lacks any sort of innovation or sparks of inspiration.
