Blumhouse Bringing the 'My Bloody Valentine' Franchise Back to Life

Released in 1981, the original Canadian slasher classic My Bloody Valentine spawned a Hollywood remake (My Bloody Valentine 3D) in 2009, but it's now been 15 years since we've heard a peep from the franchise about a sadistic and bloodthirsty miner with a pick(axe) to grind. But as "The Ballad of Harry Warden" once told us, it's a curse that will live on and on...

And the My Bloody Valentine franchise does indeed plan to live on, as Bloody Disgusting has exclusively learned that Blumhouse is developing a brand new My Bloody Valentine movie.

My Bloody Valentine is one of those franchises that never was, with both the original movie and the 2009 remake failing to spawn follow-up movies. That's despite Lionsgate's My Bloody Valentine 3D scaring up $100 million at the worldwide box office, and the original becoming a classic that horror fans enjoy watching every time the calendar flips to February 14.

George Mihalka directed the original 1981 movie. In the film, "A decades-old folk tale surrounding a deranged murderer killing those who celebrate Valentine's Day turns out to be true to legend when a group defies the killer's order and people start turning up dead."

Directed by Patrick Lussier, the 3D remake follows a similar storyline. "Tom returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine's night massacre that claimed the lives of 22 people. Instead of a homecoming, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders, and it seems like his old flame is the only one that believes he's innocent."

"In this little town when the 14th comes 'round, there's a silence and fear in the air..."

Bring it, I guess.

I thought the last remake of it was fairly decent. I wonder when Sleepaway Camp will get its turn? (Quite possibly it already has and I've either missed or ignored it).

Hmm.. I'd be open to this.  A claustrophobic mine seems like the perfect setting for a horror flick in any age.  I totally dig the original.  Saw it with my mom on HBO.  We both enjoyed it.

Probably too risky? It was a product of its time. I doubt that ending will fly these days, plus you don't want to upset the trans and LGBTQ community.

I think it's by far the best remake of an 80s slasher tbh... actually improved the plot and was just entertaining. didn't go down the in vogue 'torture porn' route. (went down the 3D gimmick route instead, but the 2D version works fine)

I dunno. But you never know! Stranger things have happened.
