This second week of Remake Month, we’re tackling the slick 2009 remake of 1981’s My Bloody Valentine, which we previously reviewed on this podcast and found very charming. The remake features much more beautiful people, brutal kills, a crazy bit of inspired full-frontal, and more 3-D gags than you can shake a pickaxe at. There’s no better way to celebrate the holiday! Curl up with your sweetheart and dig in.
Co-written by Frank Darabont and directed by Chuck Russell, lots of familiar faces in this one. Featuring loads of awesome practical effects, not the least of which is Kevin Dillon’s wild and wooly hair. Enjoy!
It was only a matter of time before we got around to discussing this film, and now we have the perfect opportunity. Listen in as we revisit this disturbing and notorious cannibal classic from Italy, which has inspired filmmakers like Eli Roth and Oliver Stone. And let us know what YOU think of this movie in the comments – if you are brave enough to watch it, that is…
What is going on here, exactly? Why does this movie have such a cult following online? Why are the people here doing dumb things? And why were we kinda bored through most of it?
With their glowing eyes, cloud-white hair and utterly humorless affects, as podcast fave Buck Flowers intones with full gusto: “These kids ain’t right.” Help us raise a glass to our first tribute episode of 2023!
