Tremble is a horror podcast that cuts through hype to figure out what actually works, whether a movie is trying to scare you, make you laugh, or do both at once.
On this episode, the Tremble crew heads down into the mines with My Bloody Valentine from 1981, one of Canada’s most infamous slashers. Set in the small mining town of Valentine Bluffs, the film revolves around a deadly legend, a decades old cave in, and a killer who returns every Valentine’s Day with a pickaxe and a heart in a candy box. Kurt, Taylor, and Steve break down the movie’s grim blue collar atmosphere, its surprisingly mean spirited kills, and why the mining setting gives the film a heavier sense of dread than most slashers of the era. They talk about the now legendary MPAA cuts, the effectiveness of Harry Warden as a slasher villain, and whether the film’s low key character drama helps ground the carnage or just slows things down. They also get into why My Bloody Valentine has aged better than many of its early eighties peers, and where it still shows its rough edges.
