My Bloody Valentine 3D: Crappy Treatment of Women Flies Right off the Screen

My Bloody ValentineAs a big horror fan, I've been excited to see what My Bloody Valentine 3D would do for the genre, which trades primarily on thrills and spectacle.  But even if I wasn't into horror, the film would be worth taking note of because it's one of the first contemporary films shot in 3D that is not a family picture (and not animated, at that).  The film's success will no doubt be a benchmark for studios considering shooting other films in 3D.  So I'm disappointed to report that, while the film is something of a technological marvel, its (mis)treatment of its female characters is nothing to be excited about. 

More after the jump - and minor spoilers ahead...
