Towards the tail end of the slasher remake crazy that kicked off with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), the powers that be decided to remake the cult favorite My Bloody Valentine with Supernatural star Jensen Ackles, whose co-star Jared Padalecki would make a remake of his own that year with Friday the 13th (2009).

After having been burnt out by the remake craze of the aughts, audiences didn't especially take to this attempted revamp of a more obscure title. It didn't help that MBV '09 was also trying to capitalize on the 3D Horror trend. But as the original classic starts to get reappraised, people have asked if Jensen Ackles remake was given a fair chance.

By "people," we of course mean us. We're the people.
