A 1981 holiday-themed Canadian Slasher Movie directed by George Mihalka.Twenty years ago, in the sleepy mining town of Valentine Bluffs, a methane gas explosion at Hanniger Coal Mine trapped five miners in a shaft when the foremen who were supposed to be supervising left to go to a Valentine's Day party (similar to the absentee camp counselors in Friday the 13th (1980)). Six weeks later, the accident's sole survivor, Harry Warden, was rescued; he survived by eating his dead coworkers and ultimately had gone mad. After a year in a mental institution, he escaped on Valentine's Day, killing and cutting out the heart of the guilty foremen, leaving a warning that the same would happen if the town ever again held a Valentine's Day celebration. With this nothing but a distant memory and Harry supposedly back in the institution, the town is now throwing another party. Murders of the same manner as before start cropping up, and the town sheriff (Don Francks) orders the party shut down. But the requisite bunch of none-too-bright young adults ain't happy about this and elope to host the party in secret up at the mine instead. Big mistake...Known for having nine minutes constituting the gorier killings lopped off of it to comply with the MPAA. In 2009, the movie had a remake in 3D, named aptly: My Bloody Valentine 3D. The remake coincided with a DVD release of the original movie, which had the cut footage reincluded.Quentin Tarantino said that this is his favorite Slasher Movie.Not to be confused with the famous Shoegazing band of the same name who may or may not have taken their name from this movie.

Crazy Jealous Guy
 My Bloody Valentine / int_50b9b3d0
comment
Early on, the film establishes that TJ has been away from the town for quite some time with his return to town suspiciously coinciding with the Miner's murder spree. In addition, he is still quite jealous about his ex-girlfriend Sarah hooking up with Axel, a motive that would fit with the Valentine's Day theme. TJ also behaves rather dubiously during the later segments—he lags behind Patty and Sarah right before Axel "dies" and disappears right before the Miner stabs Patty and mysteriously leaves Sarah alone.

Implacable Man
 My Bloody Valentine / int_659ef759
comment
The mythical killer Harry Warden is not some scary Implacable Man. He's a homicidal lunatic suffering from PTSD, who only went after two people he specifically blamed for the tragedy in the mines and was later promptly captured by the authorities. He died while incarcerated in a mental institution years ago. The actual killer is just a copycat.

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: It's hard not to feel for Harry Warden, even if he is a murderer. He was trapped in a mine during a cave-in, and forced to resort to cannibalizing the dead bodies of his coworkers to survive. It's no wonder he slaughtered the two neglectful supervisors responsible. In fact, Harry Warden isn't even responsible for the present-day killing spree, having died in a mental institution long ago.

Artistic License – Law: In reality, Harry Warden would not have been able to wreak vengeance on the two supervisors who caused the methane explosion in the mine because they would've immediately been arrested and convicted either for gross manslaughter or negligent homicide. The film shows them remaining free and still employed by the Hanniger Mines until their unfortunate run-in with Harry's pickaxe.

Foreshadowing: Note the way John lifts Sylvia up when he kisses her in the union hall early in the film. It's the exact way the Miner lifts her during her death scene. Patty brags that she "may not get out alive" from the party thanks to her sexy new dress. Howard pranks Sarah, Patty, and Hollis with a Jump Scare while hanging upside down and jokes that he has a hangover. A little later, when Howard forgets his blanket, Hollis grabs him and says, "Oh, come on, you'd forget your head if it wasn't tied on with rope!"

The police are actually competent and do extensive investigation into the murders, they even take measures like cancelling the Valentine's Day dance to avoid any more carnage. The only reason the body count continues to rise is because the main characters go behind their backs and have the party anyway.

Howard pranks Sarah, Patty, and Hollis with a Jump Scare while hanging upside down and jokes that he has a hangover. A little later, when Howard forgets his blanket, Hollis grabs him and says, "Oh, come on, you'd forget your head if it wasn't tied on with rope!"

Re-Cut: The assassination of John Lennon led to a backlash against violence in the media, resulting in the film being trimmed considerably. Thankfully, a decent amount of footage survived, and was reinstated in the 2009 Special Edition.

Red Herring
 My Bloody Valentine / int_dbca2c99
comment
Red Herring: Harry Warden died five years ago. Happy the bartender has a personal connection to Harry Warden as he was the first person to find Warden in the mineshaft and warns the main characters that they would be sorry for having a party on the anniversary of Warden's rampage. It turns out he was meaning to scare them off with a dummy. Early on, the film establishes that TJ has been away from the town for quite some time with his return to town suspiciously coinciding with the Miner's murder spree. In addition, he is still quite jealous about his ex-girlfriend Sarah hooking up with Axel, a motive that would fit with the Valentine's Day theme. TJ also behaves rather dubiously during the later segments—he lags behind Patty and Sarah right before Axel "dies" and disappears right before the Miner stabs Patty and mysteriously leaves Sarah alone.

Unbuilt Trope
 My Bloody Valentine / int_f0e85546
comment
Unbuilt Trope: Even though this film was made when the Slasher Movie trend was gaining traction and many tropes were already being cemented into the subgenre, it features many major deviations from the formula that set it aside from its contemporaries: None of the victims are teenagers, just young working class adults. The film does not take place on a wealthy college campus or in an upper class suburban neighborhood, the main setting is a small grimy mining town dependent entirely on the nearby mines. Two of the victims are elderly people, a rather jarring sight in an 80s slasher movie. The police are actually competent and do extensive investigation into the murders, they even take measures like cancelling the Valentine's Day dance to avoid any more carnage. The only reason the body count continues to rise is because the main characters go behind their backs and have the party anyway. The mythical killer Harry Warden is not some scary Implacable Man. He's a homicidal lunatic suffering from PTSD, who only went after two people he specifically blamed for the tragedy in the mines and was later promptly captured by the authorities. He died while incarcerated in a mental institution years ago. The actual killer is just a copycat.

The Coroner: He's perfectly fine with handling a fresh human heart with his bare hands. Actually, if you look closely he's wearing very thin clear nylon gloves. You can see the edges of them just under the sleeves of the white doctor coat. It certainly LOOKS like he's handling it with his bare hands, though.
