That heart shaped pizza is just like my heart. Filled with grease, pepperoni and it won’t last long.
That’s the best comment I’ve read all week
I am honestly blown away by the fact that you haven't done this one sooner. Like waaaay sooner.
he did years ago
It feels nice with a slasher that seems a bit more grounded, the excessive kills excluded. I wonder if Wilford Brimley stole that magnificent moustache from Hollis-Shalit when he was killed.
Either that or it was left to him as inheritance
You mean you didn’t like that “masterpiece of horror” that was Halloween Kills?🤣
I liked when the townsfolk remembered they had guns.
Sometimes undergrounded
R.I.P Paul Kelman aka TJ. He was a fun dude irl.
Oui he was a chill solid guy R I P PAUL
I remember this movie as the one that got my babysitter fired.
One day, taking advantage of one of the earliest applications of pay-per-view, she forced me(age 6) and my 8 year old brother to watch "My Bloody Valentine" along with her, and horror movies were generally not the type of fare that either me or my brother were accustomed to, nor would our parents ever permit us to indulge in such viewing.
Granted, we were more perplexed than horrified by all the blood'n'guts on screen, but the minute we inadvertently relayed details of the previous night within earshot of our parents, she was sacked.
Best thing to ever come out of Valentine's Day!
With death by shower pipe, an idiot snorting "coke" from a can, escape by arm decapitation, and a catchy ending theme, this film remains one of my favorite slashers of the 1980s!
Also, it's nice to see the Cinema Snob give some love to the 3-D remake!
That coke snort scene looks straight out of a John Belushi film. That writer deserves a pat on the back.
I watched this on Netflix a couple of years ago on Netflix. Unfortunately it was the edited version so the shower scene cut out the impact.
Man, antagonists in some of these films really do be just look for any excuse to be a serial killer.
This is one of those Snob episodes where I just kinda sat down and learned a bunch of cool stuff.
Always a underrated movie and with the good remake it just proves that good remakes can exist.
Good remakes do exist, but they require care and respect for the source material. And studios ain't bothering with that, they just want a quick buck.
I’d also cite Elm Street and Child’s Play
"The Thing" and "The Fly" are remakes 🙂.
@@Dragonlochd0815 that’s two other great examples
@@DocZFlux you're kidding right ? RIGHT ?
I always liked how good and realistic the relationship between the husky guy and his gf was and it did make me sad when she found out he died
My uncle Jim plays Tommy, and inspired me to do some acting as well, albeit far more low key.
I can’t stop seeing Bill Hader in TJ’s face. I just can’t unsee it.
The dripping blood in the title! This one is right up there with 'Black Christmas' and 'Happy Birthday To Me' as a great character drama with a serial killer in the background:) I love how all of those decorations and the country music add to the middle-of-nowhere small-town-ness of Valentine Bluffs, and definitely how all of the characters DO come off as people who have grown up together, know each other too well, and are sick of each other;) But I do wish that Harry had actually been the killer so that TJ and Axel had to work together to stop him only for Axel to sacrifice himself so TJ and Sarah could escape...I love the way Happy tells the backstory and the whole scene of Mabel's death, and when Newby finds the "Be My Valentine!" note from her:( And Hollis, man, Hollis IS the man! The way he jumps in and THROWS Axel and TJ apart when they're fighting! Too bad he just HAD to go and let himself be talked into taking everyone down into the mine...and when Sarah was walking home in the dark, you can totally tell by how sweaty she is and how TJ smirks at Axel that, yeah, they were DOIN' it;)
I just watched the shout factory version and I think they restored the kills there.
They restored them with footage that survived. There's footage of kills that's been lost completely like some of the kills from Friday the 13th Part 7: Jason vs. Carrie.
I love this movie. My proudest thing about being from Nova Scotia!
My proudest thing is NS being the birthplace of cannabis in Canada 😆
"Nova Scotia’s relationship with weed dates back to 1606, when a French botanist named Louis Hebért planted cannabis crops in Nova Scotia. He is widely considered the first apothecary and the first person to ever farm in Canada. That is likely when Canada was first introduced to weed."
Trailer park boys
@@lShishkaBerryl Theres also that.
Plot twist: the foo who said he’s got the munchies actually toked off camera and broke the fourth wall 🚬😏
I really enjoyed this movie. The location really helped the ambiance, they characters were solid, and that was a great look for a mystery killer.
As someone else said in a different review, I can totally buy this is a town when everyone is done with working in the mine, they go to the bar and hang out like that nearly every day.
"More MINER injuries"
*slow clap*
Hell yah Brad! Mad respect for showing off the heart shaped pizza from Cottage Inn!
I think they said "cherry yet," not "chariot."
Nova Scotia has had a lot of movies to it's name, I've lived here my whole life and still find out about stuff shot here years later lol. Dolores Claiborne is my favorite I think.
New Waterford Girl is peak Nova Scotia cinema
Shipping News?
Thank you, Snob, for using "Lonestar 911" clips as an excuse to show us your handsome cat, Lloyd of the lovely blue eyes.
I have to thank AMC for airing my bloody valentine which is where I saw this movie for the 1st time and absolutely loved it.
1:24 Don Francks also did the voice of Boba Fett in the STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL!!!!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I just love Lloyd and his Out Of Context Lone Star 911 Clip of the Week segment. It really puts a smile on my face every time I see that adorable Siamese on my screen. Thanks for the great review of this fantastic film, Snob! 💝
I really like the ending to this film, with the whole community basically outing the killer as he stumbles off into the mines, singing all the way. It's an effective, creepy ending.
Don Francks was the voice of boba fett in the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Thank You Scream Factory for Releasing the Unrated Version.
I'm surprised Brad didn't mention that Shoegaze legends, My Bloody Valentine, got their name from this movie.
My Bloody Valentine, literally came out on the same day that i was born. Also Canadian too.
It's always the holiday related film reviews that gets me excited. 😊
The Calgon “Ancient Chinese Secret Admirer” line made me LOL.
You can always tell when Brad has love for a movie when he keeps citing trivia on characters and scenes.
Yep gives a whole new definition of you're breaking my heart.
Favorite slasher movie.
Favorite Cinemasnob.
Valentines day: Check!
I saw this movie when I was like 7 and it's been one of my favorite movies ever since
Nothing is quite as sexy and romantic for Valentine's Day as miners. And man, I'm glad that I didn't misspell that.
Dang, you just reminded me to rewatch this movie. I was trying to figure out of I should watch a raunchy comedy, exotic thriller, or horror v day/romance movie today. Too much of a hassle to go out to silly restaurants lol.
Love this film. One of my favourite slashers of all time.
I still remember my ex finding out about a showing to a small crowd somewhere in NYC back in like 2007-08, there's a Valentine's Day I can say was worth remembering 😎 👍
6:32- "Son, are you trying to get yourself killed in this slasher film?!" (The Cinema Snob, 1981 in Film)
22:05- Uh-huh. Well, Tron also underperformed, but it still got a sequel 28 years later, and Tron: Legacy was freaking awesome.
Literally just watched this movie for the first time a couple of hours before you posted and was about to see if you had done a video on it! Happy Valentine's Day for me!😃
I always remember Don Franks as the voice of MOK, in Rock & Rule.
I fucking needed this
I always remember when the remake came out because I went to see Coraline that night and it was showing in the theater next to me. It must have started a bit earlier because I could hear people screaming right before Coraline started. There were six of us watching Coraline but the theater for My Blood Valentine 3D was PACKED.
Kinda surprised there’s no mainstream valentine horror that makes use of how Cupid uses an arrow🤔
I honestly thought he had already reviewed this movie before and he was doing the remake. Then I remembered it was Brandon Tenold who reviewed it.
happy valentines day brad (:
Saw this opening night in 09. Still one of my favorite theater experiences. There wasn’t one empty seat
I always have loved the characters in slasher movies you like, the fat mustached guy who dies in my bloody valentine, the guys in wheelchairs in texas chainsaw and friday the 13th part 2, all three of them and more have always seemed like the most natural actors in their respective films, the most true to life. For me that makes me hate when they get killed. Probably also helps they were nobodies cast to semi major roles in movies so it was most likely their personality while reading lines.
Great Video Brad.
There's a slasher flick for every holiday
Thanks, Brad! Always enjoyed this movie. We need more holiday-themed horror movies!
Mad love for the “Friday the 13th, part 3 in 3D” poster. You made Shelly proud!
RIP TJ (Paul Kelman) 2 weeks ago 💔
Nice jab at Halloween Kills!
I'm surprised you didn't make any Temple of Doom jokes in this episode.
I came across this film after I watched first Halloween and then Friday the 13th when I was 16. I realy liked it back then. Maybe should rewatch it.
Its kinda funny how a town spruced up their home, only for the film makers to spend a portion of their budget to remake the gritty look. XD
I have such a soft spot for the remake I remember seeing it in theaters when I was 12 and I loved it
Amazing
This was one of the towns shortlisted for the filming of Radioactive Man. The townsfolk were so excited they decontaminated the place so the filmmakers went elsewhere.
One of my favorite slashers.
I saw this for the first time this past October and thought it was surprisingly competent for an 80s slasher. The mine made for an eerie horror atmosphere, the miner gear and pick-axe added to the creepiness of the killer, and the acting was overall not *too* bad.
If I have one complaint, it's that the Valentines gimmick was wholly unnecessary and felt really forced in the first half; make it just a movie about a mining town and not a place called "Valentine Bluffs" that loves that holiday, and then I think it's a little more focused.
Back when I had a stint as a camp counselor for a summer, a couple friends and I took a day trip to the filming locations! (I'm from Nova Scotia) 🙂
Saw the remake on opening night and it was wild! People were cheering and screaming, at all the cool parts! Definitely my favorite 3D movie experience.
I love the original too and actually find the quality change, (for the previously deleted scenes) adds to the tension! It's similar to those old "Shock notices" that some VHS releases had in the 80's. Anytime those popped up, you knew something scary was coming!
Good times :)
Cheers.
The latest blu ray/4k restored those deleted kill scenes
8:43 He looks like a Canadian looking Mr Wynn From Diamonds are Forever. lol
love it
Ah, the holiday classic!
One of my favorite movies of all
i think we need to make valentines day more of a people holiday and not just for couples. sure we kinda have it for everyone but it'd be better if they didn't cater to couples so much. give love to everyone on valentines day! ok now this movie, i love this one. i love big ol bear guy character sooo much, i dont remember his name just that hes fat,has a beard and glasses. oh and a hat. he looks like the one villian in "diamonds are forever" now that i think about it lmao, which i also love those 2 villians in that movie.
That's awesome that you like the remake Brad! Maybe a review for next V-Day?
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy Valentine's Day TO Snob and Snob Fans!! 2:40 o GOD i had flashbacks from last house on the left!!! cues sadie and krug montage theme xD !!!
The next review maybe cover THE DENTIST & THE DENTIST II. It would be hilariously awesome! and just an awesome movie with a psycho slasher dentist :p
Wooo 🥳 great video
One thing I just noticed that tips off it's filmed in Nova Scotia, is that Mabel is seen carrying a case of Moosehead beer! And it's looks like the guy was snorting an Alexander Keith's beer?
A Canadian slasher classic! Such a fun movie
This is one of them slashers that makes other slashers look brilliant
Wow, the voice of Mok from 'Rock & Rule' (And Cree Summer's dad) was in this movie.
The 2009 remake had a promotional website that was up for a long time, too, I think it was taken down just a year or two ago. Shane, it was a great little time capsule of cheesy 2000’s website design.
My Hero
Happy Valentine's Day! ❤
A very appropriate choice for a "Valentine's Day" movie (no sarcasm).
Man, I hope we get Scanners one of these days. It's still a favorite, despite some slow parts.
A review of Scanners? He’s done it.
The only way this movie could've been any better would've been if Steve Miner had directed it. And if the killer's name had been 'Steve'.
I also have the movie! Good review for Valentine's Day!
Classic movie
0:08 Is that a deep dish?
13:46 I did not expect a math pun, but that was a good one, Snob.
21:37 Until he asphyxiates from running out of air, and chokes on whatever gas fills up in mines.
Methane fills up mines: it's also flammable.
Lloyd!!!
Some killers want to halt holiday traditions, others want to make sure they're followed to the letter.
I woke up just in time
I’m an 80’s/90’s kid, and always prefer the originals over remakes, but I enjoyed the remake of MBV more
Friendly correction; when writing a shortened date, the apostrophe goes before the first digit, not after the 0 (i.e. '80s).
@@JanetStarChild I'm 51 and have been doing it wrong this entire time?!? Thanks Funk, one's never too old to learn!
DRRRIIINKK! That had me.
Imagine thinking your the good guy only to realize your not and your character's about to lose an arm and rub off lol. I think that choice was pretty clever it let any potential killer sit in a kinda limbo or suspicious yet not.
A few of my parents friends were extras in this
This movie must be completely incomprehensible in the theatrical cut to be honest. I am sure if it had been released without the cuts originally it could have been as popular as Friday the 13th, it's genuinely one of the best slashers ever made.
A classic slasher that makes a a miner iconic.
How are you just getting to this now? It’s strange in its tone, like the random party in the junkyard. But what the film really does well is creating atmosphere of a small town, plus nearly every shot of the film containing something red. Also RIP to star Paul Kelman, who played Axel.
You really need to sell I'm the Saul of this group T-shirts
the remake with jensen ackles wasnt bad i enjoyed it
@Devan Moran it wasn’t one of those wussy PG-13 horror remakes either. It was gory.
that movie was dumb gory fun.
it's not gonna win any awards, but it's hard to not enjoy
