My Bloody Valentine became available for free streaming on Pluto TV on August 30, 2026. Director Quentin Tarantino previously described the 1981 slasher as his favorite film.
The movie, directed by George Mihalka and written by John Beaird, follows a miner who returns to Valentine Bluffs two decades after a cave collapse kills two supervisors. He murders the supervisors and leaves their hearts in a box of chocolates with a warning that he will return if the town holds a Valentine’s Day dance again.
The original film earned $5.72 million at the box office against a modest production budget and was considered a disappointment relative to Paramount’s previous horror release, Friday the 13th. A 2009 reboot directed by Patrick Lussier grossed $101 million on a $15 million budget, reviving interest in the franchise. Tarantino said the film’s lasting appeal stemmed from its blend of slasher tropes and a distinctive setting, and he praised its influence on later horror works.
Blumhouse Productions has announced plans for another reboot of the series, though no release date has been set. The free streaming availability on Pluto TV may expand the film’s audience and sustain its cult status.
