MY BLOODY VALENTINE on Blu-ray

“Oh the legend, they say, on a Valentine’s Day,
Is a curse that’ll live on and on;
And no one will know as the years come and go,
Of the horror from long time ago.”

For twenty eight years it did seem as if My Bloody Valentine was doomed to a curse by censorship. Forgotten, though, it wasn’t. Everyone knew of the horrors the MPAA inflicted upon this little Canadian cash in on Paramount’s past success with Friday the 13th. So revered were the death scenes that were all but excluded from the finished film that I’m sure, if you were to tally the threads, Valentine received more uncut requests than even the Friday films that spawned it. All the petitions, posts and emails, though, couldn’t escape the fact that the film remained a property of Paramount, and not only was the film too small a fish to fry, but they don’t even go unrated for their biggest properties. All that changed earlier this year when, gasp, Lionsgate of all companies got a hold of the DVD rights. It seemed like some fanboy had hacked into the Lionsgate email, but reports were coming out first that the deleted footage had been found, and then later that it would actually be seamlessly branched into the feature film. Seemed too good to be true, and now it’s gotten even better – it’s on blu-ray. Let’s cut to the heart of this slasher favorite.
