Quick Update: My Bloody Valentine in 2D

I finished watching My Bloody Valentine , but in 2D this time. It kind of sucked without the 3D gimmick, and I'm glad I was able to catch it in its recommended 3D experience .

Anyhow, hopefully when its released on DVD, they'll have a 3D version intact, with glasses included. Later geeks.

This movie is boasting that it's the first rated R movie to be fully in 3D. I suppose all the ones in the 80's don't count because they weren't fully 3D.

Body parts, blood, and boobs are always flying at you off the screen, making for an enjoyable time at the cinemas. I'm not going to go through the plot because, well, slasher's are hardly ever about the plot. It's all about the kills.
