Mini Review--My Bloody Valentine 3-D

I don't normally venture out of the house for horror movies, much less 3-D horror movies, but the lure of seeing Jensen Ackles on the big screen proved too much for me in this case.

My Bloody Valentine turned out not to be a great movie, but it wasn't bad, either. The 3-D wasn't as gimmicky as it often is, and also proved surprisingly realistic. (Also, much to my happy surprise, it didn't give me a migraine like the last 3-D movie I went to.)

While gory and definitely not for the squeamish, My Bloody Valentine features a solid performance from Jensen Ackles and a plot that, unlike many horror movies, actually makes some sense. Surprisingly, though, the only really sympathetic character in the film is the killer.
