Trivia:
The film was shot in Pennsylvania, because it allowed the production crew to take advantage of the state's tax incentives for filmmaking. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: As Sheriff Palmer lies in the gurney at the end of the movie to be loaded in an ambulance, you can clearly see his badge which says "Deputy Sheriff" and "County." This is despite the fact that the character is THE sheriff, and therefore not a deputy. moreQuotes:
Ben Foley: Eloquent, Sheriff. You make us look like an inbred mining community.Axel Palmer: We *are* an inbred mining community, Ben.

My Bloody Valentine 3D is one of those really rare kinds of horror flicks. It delivers buckets of gore, brisk pacing, and a lot of in your face 3D goodness. Sit close to the front of your theater for the maximum effect (if you dare!). There is brutality in king size portions, sure to satisfy the most hardcore of horror fans. They really pull out all the stops with that pickaxe's of his.
Perhaps most importantly though, the production and marketing teams were aware of what it what it was. At its core, its a cheesy mindless slasher film, and rather than try to overcome this, My Bloody Valentine acknowledges this trait and works with it. It owns it. Internet ads bore slogans such as 'Its actually 4D if you're wasted.' Never does it get bogged down trying to patch together an airtight story. It just keeps its unrelenting pace up from start to finish, and delivers what the audience came out to see, gratuitous violence.
A film like this is quite refreshing for the genre, not because it is artful by any means, but because it embraces its inherent trashiness. By deliberately failing to take itself seriously, My Bloody Valentine becomes something more than the majority of its peers can ever be. It becomes fun in the same way that a Poison concert or monster truck rally is fun. Take my advice and see this thing as it was meant to be seen, through beer goggles and a pair of cheap 3D glasses. Enjoy it for what it is and don't worry about the second thoughts you might have tomorrow morning.
