Blumhouse Productions is reportedly in the process of developing a new installment to the My Bloody Valentine film franchise. While details are currently limited, it is uncertain whether this new project will serve as a direct sequel to the previous films or will reimagine the story completely.
Understanding the Past of My Bloody Valentine
The original version of My Bloody Valentine, which came out in 1981, was directed by George Mihalka. Paul Kelman, Lori Hallier, Neil Affleck, Cynthia Dale, Don Francks, and Keith Knight were the film’s main actors. Though it may not have been a massive success in box-office terms on release, the film developed a dedicated cult following in the following years.
The movie followed the eerie story set on Valentine’s Day in a small town, marked by disaster and revenge. When the townsfolk gear up for another Valentine’s Day party twenty years post a calamitous event, they face the haunting past in the most horrifying way.
Patrick Lussier helmed a remake titled My Bloody Valentine 3D in 2009 that fared much better. This modern take, starring Jensen Ackles, Chris Carnel, Jaime King, and Kerr Smith, was a great success, grossing $100.7 million globally off an estimated budget of $14 million.
The original 1981 film is currently available for streaming through MGM+ on The Roku Channel, and the 3D remake can be watched on Amazon Prime Video.
Looking Ahead to the New My Bloody Valentine
At this point, further details surrounding the new film are scarce, including who will take on the directorial role and the cast members. Moreover, the movie’s release date has yet to be specified. For now, enthusiasts can only wait with bated breath for more information on the latest chapter of this thrilling saga.
