Jaime King Joins My Bloody Valentine
Jaime King looks to be joining the cast of a horror remake. This time around they are digging up the 1981 My Bloody Valentine.
King will star in the remake of the 1981 slasher film about a murderer who kills those who celebrate Valentine’s Day. She will play Sarah Palmer, a woman who has married her teenage sweetheart’s nemesis, and the pair have a child together. When she and her first love are reunited, it becomes clear that she still carries a torch for the man.
I can’t say I even recall the original since I was only exposed to Horror and Rated R movies at that age that appealed to my best friend’s parents. I was only 9.
We would watch them on Beta when they were not home. I was desensitizing myself to violence early.
But the formula seems to fit. Remake an 80s horror with a hot up and coming eyecandy actress and use twice as much gore. Well King is certainly hot, and though she is hardly a new up and coming actress, she certainly isn’t a-list.
Now all we need is extra gore and some Horror enthusiasts to tell you how they did this movie wrong!
I heard about this remake for some time. However…there’s something oddly missing from that synopsis. Something major.
Like…oh, this remake is actually “re-imagining” as it has almost absolutely nothing to do with the 1981 slasher film except in name only? Here’s a hint: no mine!
It also is (supposedly) in 3-D and directed by editor turned DTV B-horror film director Patrick Lussier. Which means my hopes aren’t up.
