"My Bloody Valentine" is a Canadian slasher film directed by George Mihalka and released in 1981. The movie is set in the fictional mining town of Valentine Bluffs, where a series of gruesome murders occur on Valentine's Day, allegedly committed by a miner named Harry Warden, who went on a killing spree years earlier after being trapped in a collapsed mine.
The plot follows a group of young people who plan a Valentine's Day party in the town despite warnings from the town's mayor about the legend of Harry Warden. As the party progresses, the mysterious killings begin again, leading to a tense and suspenseful climax.
The film received mixed reviews upon its release but has since gained a cult following among horror fans for its atmospheric setting, creative kills, and holiday-themed premise. It was remade in 2009 under the same title.

A true horror classic from the 1980s. Also, it appears that it's the uncut version with the legendary lost footage remastered (the previous uncut version released around the time of the remake's release was a bit grainy as they didn't have time to properly remaster the lost footage sadly).
