SYNOPSIS

It’s Valentine’s Day in the tiny mining town of Valentine’s Bluff, Nova Scotia, and for the first time in two decades the residents are planning a holiday dance. The long hiatus is due to the tragic events of 20 years earlier, when a pair of mining supervisors were too busy enjoying themselves at the dance to prevent an accident from killing a large contingent of their workers. The lone survivor, Harry Warden, took his revenge the next year by removing the hearts of his bosses and promising similar carnage if ever another Valentine’s dance were held. Unfortunately, the youth of the town aren’t big on tradition, especially since Warden is locked up in an insane asylum. They go ahead with plans to celebrate the holiday, even after a heart in a candy box shows up, Soon, bodies begin piling up.
