Description
In this episode of SlashBack Cinema, we revisit My Bloody Valentine (1981)—the Canadian slasher that proved Valentine’s Day is a terrible time to throw a party. Set in the mining town of Valentine Bluffs, the film follows the bloody legend of Harry Warden, a pickaxe-wielding killer with a flair for the dramatic, heart-shaped candy boxes and extremely personal murder notes.
This one is Quentin Tarantino's favorite slasher, and we ask the real question: does My Bloody Valentine earn its cult status—or is it just coasting on vibes, gore, and too much Valentine's Day candy?
Plus, we throw it back with trivia from 1981 and give the film its official Stabby Score.
