My Bloody Valentine (1981)
My Bloody Valentine is a 1981 Canadian slasher film directed by George Mihalka and written by John Beaird. It stars Paul Kelman, Lori Hallier, and Neil Affleck.
Plot
Valentine’s Day is coming around and the young people of the small mining town of Valentine’s BLuffs are organising a party. A few decades earlier an explosion at the mine trapped six miners underground. One, Harry Warden, 
survived, though in a deranged state. Warden is sent to a mental hospital but escapes and murders those he deems responsible for the mine accident. Now people are being brutally murdered again, 
and the townsfolk suspect that it is the work of Harry Warden.
Notable scenes
A girl gets pushed into a pickaxe in a mine.
Making of My Bloody Valentine
In an interview director George Mihalka said that the shooting location at Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia was chosen because of its rustic atmospheric appearance. However when the locals found out that a movie was to be shot there they decided to spend $50,000 to have the mine painted and cleaned! This, of course, diminished the reason that the production wanted the location to begin with. Mihalka said that $75,000 of the film’s budget was then used to return the mine to its original state for shooting.
Our view on My Bloody Valentine
Director George Mihalka brings us another holiday-themed slasher, riding the success of “Black Christmas”, “Halloween” and “Friday the 13th”… and paving the way for “April Fools Day”. 
IBut George is a nice guy and I don’t want to say he’s just one among the crowd. There were hundreds of 80s slashers, but only a few stand out today. Bloody Valentine is one of them. Exploutflux must see!
