Released in 1981, the Canadian slasher classic My Bloody Valentine inspired a Hollywood remake, My Bloody Valentine 3D, in 2009. However, it’s been 15 years since we’ve heard anything from the franchise about the infamous bloodthirsty miner with a pickaxe. As “The Ballad of Harry Warden” suggests, the curse will live on and on.
Excitingly, the My Bloody Valentine franchise is set to continue, as #bloodydisgusting has exclusively reported that Blumhouse is developing a brand-new My Bloody Valentine movie.
Despite its potential, the franchise has never truly taken off, with both the original movie and the 2009 remake failing to produce sequels. This is surprising considering My Bloody Valentine 3D grossed $100 million worldwide, and the original has become a beloved classic for horror fans each February 14th.
The original 1981 film, directed by George Mihalka, follows a deranged murderer who begins 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ing those who celebrate Valentine’s Day after a group defies his warnings.
The 3D remake, directed by Patrick Lussier, has a similar storyline: “Tom returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine’s night massacre that claimed 22 lives. Instead of a homecoming, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders, with his old flame being the only one who believes in his innocence.”
