When laughter turns into screams and assorted chocolate heart gift boxes become filled with actual heart organs, Valentine’s Day isn’t so lovely anymore.

A must see Valentine’s Day movie, My Bloody Valentine, directed by Patrick Lussier and produced by Jack L. Murray, startles moviegoers to their wits’ ends, and definitely lives up to its title.

The film brings the Valentine’s Day theme to a whole new level, causing couples to rethink the real meaning of love, trust and communication in their lives — and also reminds them that people are not always who they say they are.

It encourages viewers to check up on their lovers at all times possible. The characters in this film found out the consequences of not doing this on the most romantic holiday in history, when five miners lose their lives to a pick-axe murderer, and one miner is left in a coma.

This Valentine’s Day horror begins when the villain wakes up from a coma and murders all of the hospital staff, draws hearts on the walls with their blood and then escapes.

The sight of the murders and the bloody special effects send chills up the spine. When the rogue decides to go back to the scene of the crime where innocent lovers gather, this Valentine’s Day turns out to be Valentine’s Night. 

When the head female character enters the shaft by herself to catch up with friends, viewers are left wondering why she treaded straight into the obvious — as is common in most horror movies.

After being confronted by a miner covered from head to foot with miner gear and a pick-ax, the lead female runs for her life in fear.
 
Nothing is new in this horror flick, but it still leaves viewers hungry for more of the night of blood filled chocolates.
