What Parents Need to Know
About My Bloody Valentine (1981)
Parents need to know that this iconic slasher film -- recently remade as My Bloody Valentine 3-D -- is full of gory deaths, especially in this DVD's "Unrated" version; the stalking miner-suit wearing killer is also quite frightening. The film also has the requisite '80s slasher-film link between sex and death, where teens at play are targets for a killer's wrath while doing the figurative deed.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the appeal of the slasher film -- what makes these movies so well-loved, and such often-remade movies by modern Hollywood? Families can also talk about the Freudian link between sex and death in these films; why do these movies seem compelled to show teens being murdered during sex? Is it a cautionary warning, or grim exploitation?

wicked!
the movie has a few parts that arent appropiate for children such as the first scene includes some partial nudity.A part that might not be appropiate for kids is axels flashback around the end of the movie.his flashback was harry warden hit his father with a pickaxe and in the special edition in the directors cut gets his heart cut out and axel watched it.it is a good slasher movie reminds me of the texas chainsaw massacre but i recomend it for kids 10 and older and for people who like watching gory,violent,disturbing,scary movies.
