Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
MBV 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. Read full review

PremiereJenni Miller
This is a fun midnight movie. Horror fans, get your friends together and go see some gore and some naked chicks in three dimensions. Read full review

VarietyJoe Leydon
At heart an unabashedly retro work, reveling in the cliches and conventions of the slasher horror pics that proliferated in the early 1980s. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis
A 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. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank Scheck
The 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. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott Tobias
But 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. Read full review

What really leaps out at you about My Bloody Valentine 3-D is its lack of imagination. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMark Olsen
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. Read full review

Film ThreatScott Mendelson
If a movie like My Bloody Valentine plays like a dime-store slasher picture, then adding 3D to the proceedings will only make it look like a 3D dime-store slasher picture. Read full review

Boston GlobeEthan Gilsdorf
Lussier 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. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyJim Ridley
There'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. Read full review
