I’m a sucker for slasher flicks. While there have been some really bad and forgettable ones in recent memory, I had to satisfy my desire for decapitations, gore and of course T&A. Add the fact it’s in 3D, I couldn’t wait to see this movie. For all the hardcore fans, you’re either going to love or hate this movie. For the masses, it’s probably just another excuse to snuggle with their other half or get a taste of what the future of cinema might be, namely 3D.
The movie stars relative new comer Jensen Ackles as Tom Hanniger, Jamie King as his former love interest Sarah and Kerr Smith of Dawson’s Creek fame as Axel, the town’s sheriff. The story opens with a brief prologue of newspaper clips about Tom Hanniger (Ackles) causing an accident in the mines he works for that is also family owned. The accident sends the lone survivor of five, Harry Warden, to the hospital where he lies in a coma. One year later on Valentines Day, Harry Warden wakes up and goes on a massive killing spree. The horror ends with Harry Warden being shot to death in the mines he works for. Fast forward ten years on Valentine’s Day, the killings begin again and mayhem ensues.
