So if you know me, or have been reading my blog for a bit, you know I’ve recently falling deep into the world of Supernatural. I love the show. The writing, the acting, the way it’s filmed–everything. As a result, I’ve tried to find other shows that the actors have been in.
That led me to going to see My Bloody Valentine in 3D this weekend.
Now, I was a horror movie fan from a very early age. I saw Friday the 13th when I was seven. A babysitter of a friend of mine had it and played it. Freaked the hell out of me. The same babysitter a few months later showed me A Nightmare on Elm St. Yes, I lived on the corner of Elm St., so it TOTALLY freaked me out. But I also got hooked. I started watching every horror film I could around 12, and have only really ever been scared a few times.
In recent years, I haven’t liked the movies that have been coming out. The torture films don’t really do it for me. I like a scare, but I like to see it coming, I don’t mind a certain amount of cheese factor, and I love it when the bad guy has a gimmick.
After all that, what did I think of My Bloody Valentine? OMG IT ROCKED!!! Here are the things I loved about it in order:
- Jensen Ackles. Really, the guy is a fantastic actor.
- 3D effects. LOL This was awesome! They were well done, and I even jumped a few times.
- The plot. I know this seems odd to say about a horror movie, but it had a great story. More along the line of a murder mystery than a straight up, “Hey he’s going to slice everyone to bits” idea.
- Jensen Ackles
- The character of Irene. She’s naked for most of her screen time. But do you know what, she was the funniest character in the movie. Loved her!
- Jensen Ackles
I think that just about wraps it up! The bonus of the whole film, was we got to see a preview of the Friday the 13th remake, staring Jensen’s Supernatural co-star, Jared Padalecki. I’ll be going to that one too. 
On the writing front, I managed to write just over 16k last week, bringing me up to over 55k for The Bond That Saves Us. I’m in the home stretch now!
You’re a nut you know that.
I remember seeing Friday the 13th … umm yeah it still freaks me out.
I’m not a horror fan. I think the movies I like are the oldies like Frankenstien, Dracula, Wolfman. The old Alien scare movies and I really like Poltergiest series, but the others the slasher stuff. NOPE.
I’ll take happy any day.
I haven’t watched a horror flick in years… since the kids were born. I just lost my stomache for them I suppose… but I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Hey – congrats on cranking out those words!! WOOT WOOT
