- 67Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovMBV 3D is full-on, old-school, Fangoria-approved, gorehound heaven – a supersaturated arterial goregasm with zero socially redeeming values for anyone other than first-year med students.
- 63PremierePremiereThis is a fun midnight movie. Horror fans, get your friends together and go see some gore and some naked chicks in three dimensions.
- 60VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonAt heart an unabashedly retro work, reveling in the cliches and conventions of the slasher horror pics that proliferated in the early 1980s.
- 60The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisA strange synergy of old and new, My Bloody Valentine 3D blends cutting-edge technology and old-school prosthetics to produce something both familiar and alien: gore you can believe in.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe 3-D effects come fast and furious, rendered with a technical skill and humor that gives this otherwise strictly formulaic slasher picture whatever entertainment value it possesses.
- 58The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasBut save for a giddily gratuitous sequence involving full-frontal nudity, a little person, and a French bulldog, the film is strictly by-the-numbers slasher boilerplate. It won't endure past the weekend.
- 58Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment WeeklyWhat really leaps out at you about My Bloody Valentine 3-D is its lack of imagination.
- Wooden performances by forgettable, generic actors -- again, just like in the original -- don't aid in making things any less leaden. Perhaps this is the best one can hope for from something like My Bloody Valentine 3-D, that it be just good enough to not be annoying. Or in this specific case, physically painful.
- 38Boston GlobeBoston GlobeLussier stages his movie not so much around nail-biting moments as novel ways to fling entrails at his viewers. But if you take pleasure in such mindless gore, there must be worse ways to spend 100 minutes.
- 30L.A. WeeklyL.A. WeeklyThere's no excitement or terror in watching the 3-D execution of 2-D actors giving 1-D performances, just the steadily diminishing returns of the same eye gouge delivered ad infinitum.
