Synopsis

Valentine's Day is coming to the small mining town of Valentine's Bluff. But for the people of the town, this date means so much more than the simple celebration of love. The legend of Harry Warden has take this date too: "Many decades ago an explosion trapped six miners underground. Only of them, Harry Warden, survived the accident. The horror he went through made him lose his mind. Warden was sent to a psychiatric hospital, but now he has escaped and he is set to kill all those who he believes are responsible of the accident." However, when people from the town who are celebrating Valentine's Day start showing up dead, the town must wonder if there is any truth to this legend.

    Neil Affleck affirmed in an interview that he still has the miner's helmet that he wore in the film.

  • Without sequel

    Director George Mihalka took to Paramount an idea for the sequel in 2001, but the bad box office results of 'My Bloody Valentine' made that it was decided not to make a sequel.
