According to our friends over at Bloody Disgusting, Blumhouse Productions is set to revive the “My Bloody Valentine” franchise, breathing new life into the slasher series that has been dormant for 15 years. The original film, released in 1981 and directed by George Mihalka, became a cult classic with its chilling tale of a murderous miner named Harry Warden. The 2009 remake, directed by Patrick Lussier and presented in 3D, grossed $100 million globally but failed to generate sequels.
The storyline centers around a deranged miner who kills those celebrating Valentine’s Day, a theme explored in both the original and the remake. The 1981 film’s plot involves a group of people defying a folk tale’s warning, leading to a series of gruesome murders. The remake follows Tom, who returns to his hometown on the anniversary of a massacre, only to find himself accused of the killings.
Despite their popularity, neither film led to additional installments, leaving fans yearning for more. Blumhouse’s new project aims to continue the legacy of Harry Warden, promising to delve deeper into the lore and horror that made the original films iconic. We don’t have any more information at this time, but we will be sure to update you as news becomes available.
