My sixth grade teacher insanely allowed us to watch this movie in class. I remember we watched it in an adjoining room separate from the rest of the class. No one was forced to watch it. We were in that room by choice. If memory serves, my classmate Tom Ciavarella brought the film in. Tom, if you're out there, can you confirm this? I don't remember the movie having much effect on me or being all that scary. Watching it again I understood why.

The 1981 slasher film My
Bloody Valentine is so forgettable that only six days after watching it, I’m
having trouble recalling a lot of the details – and I saw it once at age 11
when my sixth grade teacher inexplicably allowed us to watch it in class. It is
so forgettable that it didn’t even manage to spawn a sequel due to its poor box
office. However, it did manage to get a recent remake as part of the spate of
horror film reboots that started about five or six years ago. The only truly
remarkable thing about the film is that a small Canadian production with an
entirely unknown cast and crew of amateurs was produced and distributed by
Paramount Pictures.
