Now that we've established that they weren't and the ending was crap, we're left with what? Arguably better death scenes and the MTV generation pace? I personally like the grittiness and simplicity of the original versus the 3D overdone shit of the remake.

I don't know how anyone could call the remake characters "compelling" with a straight face. The original Harry Warden rules, not this imposter. Another garbage remake just trying to capitalize on the greatness the original name has. I’m with Havok. I don’t know how anyone could call the remake characters “compelling” with a straight face.

And yes there was suspense, in setting up the characters, their pasts, what was going on, and leaving the possibility for several of them could have been the one responsible for what was going on. And like I said I didn't like the ending, it seemed forced, over the top, and out of place. the plot was still around the coal mine when they werent in it and I really dont think anything would have been added by them being done there the whole movie as opposed to in the town. I was more eager for the characters in the first to die where the characters here were more like real people and I didnt want to see them die (although the deaths were fun). wait...so you're mad b/c the characters here weren't brainless idiots? the more developed the characters the more compelling the movie is. You should have at least enjoyed the deaths if you hated everyone in the movie so much. My point is that the film didn’t solely rely on objects flying in to the screen like I thought it would.

A pick-axe came toward you. What suspense? Being a true Horror fan you could guess the ending as soon as the movie began, which then ruins the whole film of any thrills left in the movie. All characters in Horror films are ment to be brainless idiots, some are more brainless than the others, but that's only the script written. I actually cared for some the characters in the 1st MBV. The remake I just wanted everyone dead, so I could get on with my life and day, they just didn't have that much for me to like them. Plus a movie set up to be in a mine...they weren't in a mine for more than 5 mins and that's only the begining. I appreciate them trying to change it up abit, but in my opinion it just didn't fit. This could have been another movie altogether if they didn't think about putting the script in a remake setting and changing a few minor things. I'm still not seeing it, but that's me, as stated before. There still was a pick-axe going through the head of the guy toward the screen, with a eyeball at the end. A pick-axe came toward you.

There was suspense built up and good kills. The characters in the original were just annoying and so meaningless. The characters were miles better here plus there wasn't that stupid obsession with "evil valentines day/dances". That was like trying to make footloose a horror movie which didn't work at all. What was new here is that it lost all that crap and gave us realistic, compelling characters that mystery and suspense could be driven through. I didn't like the ending so I guess I can agree on the killer. I do appreciate the genre, which is why I expect more from it then what the original gave me. This was a great improvement. I'm not saying it was a great film, there are horror remakes (just a very few) that are better but this film did it's job as a remake which is a very rare thing.

Ooohhh the pick-axe came toward me...Who cares, at least the 1st was trying something different with Slashers. Another thing (Spoilers Ahead!!!)How exactly are both "MBV" the same film? The 1st was about the jealous boyfriend trying to kill everyone, the new film was about the old boyfriend having problems, because he figured out his dad was the first Valentine Killer, then he followed in his footsteps. Two totally different films. Yes everyone has their opinion on a film, hell there's a fan-base to "The Item" and countless films that shouldn't warrant a fan-base, i'm sticking with my gut, there was nothing "New" to this "New" take on the film, it was a boring piece of crap that I paid $5.50 to see. Some just don't appreciate the genre as much as I do...Oh well!!! Yes, i’m a fan of the Original…But still, the whole film was just a big waste of time.
