The most obvious critique applied to pretty much any 3-D movie is, would this film work as well without the 3-D? In most instances the answer is no, and in the case of MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D, that’s more or less the case.

Take the 3-D out of it and VALENTINE is really no different from average direct-to-DVD slasher fodder, albeit not a bad example by any means. And as the current slate of remakes goes, this new MY BLOODY VALENTINE measures up decently to the original, which was neither the best nor the worst of the lot (though it works better now as a nostalgia piece), and is a fairly respectful retelling. But all of this is irrelevant, since the new BLOODY VALENTINE was made to be seen and experienced in three dimensions (the first horror film shot with the Real D process) and this is what gives the film the large majority of its entertainment value. If you don’t experience this one in a theater in 3-D, you’ll be missing out on all the fun.

For those who are fans of the original, you’ll be pleased to know that MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D is not a “reimagining” of the original but rather a pretty straightforward remake, keeping a large majority of the 1981 film’s storyline and characters and making certain changes that work for the better. One of the things that set the first movie apart was the fact that it was populated mainly by adults and not horny teenagers, and the new version takes the same course, although these leads are mainly young adults. It retains the same plot structure—deranged miner slaughters his co-workers and townsfolk before supposedly being killed himself, and a new series of murders occur years later, along with the love-triangle subplot and murder-mystery aspect (which Todd Farmer and Zane Smith’s script works fairly hard to keep us guessing about). None of this makes for truly riveting drama, but it all works as best it can, and as a plotline to basically connect a bunch of gory 3-D killings, it is reasonably watchable on these terms.

Two TV spots for My Bloody Valentine 3-D have popped online and you can check them out below. The Patrick Lussier directed flick is a remake of the 1981 horror movie of the same name and stars Jensen Ackles, Jaime King, Kerr Smith, Betsey Rue, Edi Gathegi, Tom Atkins, Kevin Tighe and Megan Boone.

In the movie, opening January 16, Tom (Ackles) returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine’s night massacre that claimed the lives of 22 people. Instead of a homecoming, however, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders, and it seems like his old flame (King) is the only one will believes he’s innocent.

Those Winchester fellas from Supernatural are at it again, volleying jabs at each other now that they each have a horror movie coming up in 2009. And in a strategic move this week, New Line pit its Friday the 13th teaser, starring Jared Padalecki, against the trailer for My Bloody Valentine 3D, with Jensen Ackles, on the same day.

Continuing the smack talk which began on the Friday set here, and the retaliation recounted by Ackles’ co-star Kerr Smith in this discussion, Padalecki explains to ShockTillYouDrop.com why Friday the 13th will be the better film. “Because Jensen’s not in it and I am,” he says when we caught up to him recently. “And I hope that gets back around to him. I’m very excited about My Bloody Valentine 3D. Jensen had a lot of cool things to say about it. He had a great time. But we’ve got Jason, though. We’ve got Jason!”

“You have to have fun,” Padalecki goes on to say, commenting on the rapport with his co-star. “I grew up in Texas playing sports where talking shit is…like if you’re friends with somebody, you can tell them ‘Go F yourself’ and not get a reaction. I respond better with the ribbing, so it was fun to call Jensen when he was working late. A few times he’d text me, ‘Hey dude, you on set?’ And I’d tell him I was off and going to sleep, so he’d make it a point to call a couple of hours later knowing I was asleep. It’s cool, I love the fact that fans notice that, ’cause we have a great time.”
