Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times: A strange synergy of old and new, My Bloody Valentine 3D blends cutting-edge technology and old-school prosthetics to produce something both familiar and alien: gore you can believe in. Read more

Scott Tobias, AV Club: The film is strictly by-the-numbers slasher boilerplate. It won't endure past the weekend. Read more

Arizona Republic: Read more

Ethan Gilsdorf, Boston Globe: My Bloody Valentine may not be horribly acted, but in a post-Scream and post-Scary Movie era, it's difficult to squeeze any more blood from this low-brow/high-camp turnip. Read more

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: In some ways, the filmmakers have created something too authentic in spirit to the original film, as it also fairly quickly becomes a plodding chore to watch. Read more

Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly: What really leaps out at you about My Bloody Valentine 3-D is its lack of imagination. Read more

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: The plot staggers from absurd to ridiculous, and the dialogue is strictly of the 'Look we don't have to go down there' variety. Read more

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Read more

Jason Anderson, Toronto Star: The trouble is that after that first gouged eyeball, there's not a whole lot further to go. Novelty value being a rapidly diminishing thing, the technology demands an escalation in intensity and inventiveness that the movie doesn't deliver. Read more

Maitland McDonagh, Time Out: Read more

Nigel Floyd, Time Out: This is why 3D was invented. Read more

Joe Leydon, Variety: Director and co-editor Lussier (a frequent Wes Craven collaborator) plays the 3-D gimmick for all its worth. Read more
