My Bloody Valentine 3D

As a whole, if this movie was in 2D there was not much special about it at all.  However, the 3D effects make it worth your while.  I actually caught myself dodging the miner's pick ax when it was thrown at the audience. 
The movie does a lot but I think in the future there is much more that is left undone regarding the 3D effects.  They overkill the "gun pointing at you" effect but still cool. 
As for the storyline it's about average.  Tom  returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine's night massacre where his father claimed the lives of 22 people in the coal mine. However, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders when they start happening again, and it seems like his old flame Sarah Palmer (Twin peaks reference right there hah) is the only one will believes he's innocent.  Tom gets in an arguement with Axel (Kerr Smith) in regards to where Sarah's heart really belongs.
The twist towards the end keeps you guessing on who is responsible for these murders that begin happening yet again 10 years later.  There are some good kills in this movie that remind me of Saw and they are pretty graphic.  There's also an enormous amount of nudity in this one so leave the kids at home.
5/10 for the movie... +2 for the 3D effects...
7/10
