Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Back in 1988, five adolescent girlfriends were mean to class geek Jeremy Melton at the middle-school Valentine's Day dance. Twelve years later, the girls are in their mid-20s and have forgotten all about little Jeremy's abject humiliation. Until Shelly is brutally murdered, and the others start getting nasty valentines from someone who signs himself 'JM'. The culprit may be obvious, but 12 years is a long time - with a new name, Jeremy could be almost anyone. Cue spooky music, grotesquely inventive murder scenes and, of course, the running and screaming. Director Blanks made his debut with the derivative Urban Legend and apparently plans to continue strip-mining slasher-movie clichés until audiences wise up.Author: MMc
