Critics Consensus

My Bloody Valentine stumbles through a cinematic coal mine of mechanical scares, bland characters, and a contrived, blood-soaked plot that's as predictable as it is unimaginative.

The direction, acting and production values are so inept that you begin rooting for the killer.

1.5/4

Lacking even an ounce of imagination, this is no better and maybe just a little bit worse than most of the era's like-minded fare.

The film never overcomes its deadweight of contrivance.

The Canadian producers of George Mihalka's My Bloody Valentine do everything they can to make us believe that the grisly events depicted... are happening in America and not the Maritime Provinces. Their reasons are not patriotic.
