Product Description
Ten years ago in the town of Harmony, an inexperienced coal miner caused an accident that trapped and killed five men and sent the only survivor, Harry Warden, into a coma. When Harry awoke, exactly one year later on Valentine’s Day, he wanted revenge and brutally murdered 22 people with a pickax before being killed himself. Now, after years of peace, something from Harmony’s dark past has returned. Wearing a miner’s mask and armed with a pickax, an unstoppable killer is on the loose. As his footsteps come ever closer, the townspeople realize in terror that it just might be Harry Warden who has found his way back.

very fun and for once, not entirely predictable! A review of the actual DVD movie,

By A. Boston (Boston, MA United States) -

I have not seen the original, so I didn’t know what this was about. My boyfriend and I love to watch horror movies, from really good, well done ones all the way to the cheesy. We planned a movie night and sat down with the 3-D glasses(red and green paper ones that came with it) to give this a go on our 42 inch screen.

As for 3-D at home, not amazing, but did have it’s moments. It seemed to fluctuate between clear with great 3-D to downright blurry for some scenes. There were a couple of times that I was jumping out of the way of a pick-axe or flying body parts and others were I was straining to figure out what exactly was on the screen. Being this DVD is double sided, it doesn’t hurt to give it a try just for fun, but it’s good to have the regular 2-D version for normal viewing at home.

We both love Jensen Ackles, which was why we watched this movie. We find him to be pure entertainment and really funny(supernatural is one the shows we never miss)…he did not disappointed. For once I actually had predicted a completely different killer, and that is surprising being 95%of the time I can tell you the ending within the first 20 minutes.

Unfortunately, no good special features on this one. But otherwise, the movie was gory, inventive kill scenes, amusing and suspenseful. Definitely worth a watch!

The BEST 3D technology ever!,

By Stephen “EyeAm” (Florida) -

I saw this movie at the theater. I was expecting the kind of ‘digital 3D’ that Journey To The Center of The Earth (w/Brendan Fraser) had. I was more than pleasantly surprised! The glasses are of the ’smokey lens’ variety (though in the right light, they look like a rainbow oil slick); and the quality of the 3D is absolutely, bar-none, the BEST on the market! The images were vivid and so realistic. One could bob and weave his head and still see everything perfectly. Crisp and clear, and in your face.

The name of the technology is “RealD 3D”. Trust me, it’s the only kind you’ll ever want again. It is not the Red|Blue lenses, not the Red|Green lenses, not blurry, not hard to see. It’s what we’ve waited for all these years, in a 3D film technology.

When watching the 3D, if one takes off the glasses, any text onscreen is going to be garbled. This is why the DVD is to have both 2D and 3D versions–for those who don’t want to use the glasses.

As for the movie itself, the storyline takes liberties with the original. There is *not* the infamous ‘corkscrew’ heavy industrial drill scene (of the two lovers), nor the showerhead scene. But the mining suits do drop from their ceiling hangers, and Harry Warden himself does kill and butcher (though briefly). The entire Valentine’s Day dance has been condensed to the first twelve minutes of the movie, where about 22 people are slaughtered in a very grisly manner. You want blood, violence and rib cages, this movie has what the horror fan or gore-hound wants. The manner in which Tom Atkins’ character gets dispatched is particularly disturbing and violent. Many have wondered how this movie every got an R-Rating, when an NC-17 might have been more appropriate. It’s a ‘hard R’.

Blood and pick axes get hurled at the audience in fine-grained 3D. And there are some legitimately scary moments. Most of the reviews for this film gave it high marks, so it averaged out to be about B+. It covers most of the bases to make it a ‘remake’, but it goes beyond this to further flesh out the romantic tension between the main characters (Axl, Sarah, and Tom Hanniger). Axl is a police officer in this film, and married to Sarah–a situation which ratchets up the tension when Tom returns.

There is already a sequel planned. The movie made more than $51.5-million at the domestic box office.

The DVD box will most likely come with the paper 3D glasses (unlike the plastic formed glasses distributed at the theaters–but, for those who saved those, they should work fine with the DVD).

beware home video 3D,

By Art Deresh -

I have not seen this movie but since they have never perfected 3D for the home market and the companies who care know that and do not release their 3D movies on dvd (Disney,Pixar) you can bet this is a blurry cheap production, no doubt using the blue and red glasses. Anyone who’s checked out the last couple of 3D releases knows what I mean. Don’t be fooled the people who put this out could care less about quality. Don’t waste your time or your money on the joke. It’s a 3D headache.
