Why We Rated This not for kids

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Repeated themes of infidelity in relationships and cops behaving badly (vigilante justice or worse).
  • Role models :

    Nobody worth emulating here -- the characters are pretty much uniformly unsavory and unsympathetic.
  • Violence:

    Bloody dismembered bodies, characters speared with pickaxes through the skull and torso. One such impaling makes a bloody eyeball pop out of the face. Another rips off a man's jaw and throws it across the film frame. A girl's head is split in two by a shovel. Characters are shot at close range. Visuals of ripped-out human hearts, as well as the gaping chest cavities.
  • Sex:

    Characters make a "sex tape" together in a softcore scene that features both male (from the rear) and female (from about every angle there is) nudity. An extended chase scene shows the same actress fully naked. Dialogue includes references to "hand jobs," marital infidelity, and out-of-wedlock pregnancy.
  • Language:

    Frequent strong language, including numerous uses of "f--k" and "s--t," as well as "c--k," "p---y," "ass," "bitch," "damn," and "oh my God."
  • Consumerism:

    Some product names in the background of a grocery store, barely distinct.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Cigarette smoking, some drinking (including underaged). One character is obviously drunk. A main character takes some sort of prescription medication for mental illness.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About My Bloody Valentine 3-D

Parents need to know that this ultra-gory slasher/horror remake is full of foulmouthed, unsavory characters, many of whom end up getting speared by pickaxe blades, shot, dismembered, and/or eviscerated. Human hearts are torn out and put inside chocolate boxes. There's extensive nudity in a sex scene that eventually becomes a nude chase-murder scene. Teenagers drink with abandon, police officers are unethical, husbands are unfaithful, and boyfriends are menacing. Strong language flows freely, from "damn" to "f--k" and everything in between.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the appeal of this type of horror movie. Why do audiences enjoy watching people be hideously killed? How does seeing this type of violence affect viewers?
  • How does this kind of horror film compare to scares in older movies of the 1950s, '40s, and '30s, when audiences got their thrills from the tamer Dracula, Wolf Man, or Black Lagoon creature?
  • Parents, ask your teens about their favorite horror movies or slasher villains. Why do they like them? What sets one apart from the other?

    I didn't like it. It was boring and didn't scare me at all. Lots of explicit violence and sexual content.

    My Brutal Exerience

    This movie has almost every single problem. The movie has graphic violence althroughout the entire movie. There is one major sex scene that very explict and non stop swearing throughout the whole moive. The movie begins with a big party which involves drinking. The whole movie does not have any good role models and there is no positive messages.

    Pretty Entertaining

    This movie has enough sex and violence to be entertaining, but it has a plot twist that doesn't make sense, and the characters are not very interesting. Still pretty good B-Grade entertainment, though.

    Sex is BAD!

    It's rated R for a reason. The only thing that I think was uncalled for, since it is R of course, was the nudity. That was not necassary for any reason whatsoever. Great movie otherwise though!

    My Bloody Valentine is a breath of fresh air from other slasher flicks.

    My Bloody Valentine is actually quite suprising as a horror film when i went into the movie i thought it was just going to be killing 24/7 which most of it is but has an intriging style to it unlike friday the 13th or chainsaw massacre remakes the movie does also have graphic nudity for at least 5-10 minutes and some sexuality but still you should give it a try. Plus it's not predictable.

    3D FOR ADULTS!!!

    This is a bad way to advertise a movie. Kids love 3D movies and i dont think adults would really care to see a adult horror movie in 3D or to see it at all. I saw part of the movie in 2D and nearly fainted when the guys eyeball got poked out. YUCK!

    A really good thriller

    Really awesome movie! Has all kinds of violence throughout that is way too graphic for kids and has a sex scene showing the girl topless for at least 10 minutes running from the killer. really scary and recommend it for anyone around the age of 15.
