My Bloody Valentine (1981) - Movie Review

This movie began like almost all slasher flicks; there's a legend about the town, a love triangle, and the first of many murders. At first I began to think that the man that was depicted in the legend, Harry Warden, had come back to exact his revenge as he said he would if the town celebrated Valentine's Day with any parties or dances. 

The town sheriff and the Mayor thought the same thing. As the story continues and the body count climbs I began to think the killer is someone from the town that took the persona of Harry Warden to drive fear into the townspeople, but it wasn't who I thought. The love triangle comes into play towards the end when the killer is unmasked and it turns out to be one of the two men in the triangle.

Good plot, telegraphed though. Acting was OK, for something that is nearly 35 years old. I'll have to see if the remake made in 2009 was better. On a scale of 1 to 10, on Internet Movie Database, I give this a 7, the plot saved this one for me. Also this is the first time I have seen this one.
