Heart Eyes - Der Pärchen-Killer

This was a pretty cool movie and I knew it would be from the very first scene it was a nice spin on slasher movies it wasn't to serious or overly dramatic it was actually kind of funny and romantic but just with a lot of gory killings which was super cool also there was a twist on who the killer was and it wasn't as obvious as it usually is in these kinds of slashers, the actors were all pretty good and Holt and Golding had good chemistry which made it cool, the storyline wasn't great byt the ending was pretty good it's definitely worth the watch and something I could possibly watch again but definitely doesn't compare to some of the more popular slashers overall I'd rate this a 6.3 out of 10.

It's no surprise that Christopher Landon was behind this in the story/ production because the first thing I thought when seeing the trailer is how the tone and look of this screamed happy death day. Well this is basically the same thing with minor tweaks in story and visuals to have that Valentine theme . Not to say it's not passable but it just seems so recycled. The comedy aspect I think is what I have the the most problem with. It's all so forced and unnatural . I miss when horror had moderate amounts of comic relief instead of now alternating jokes with kills. The horror factor loses its luster due to this . Now I will say the brutality is quite effective and the pace is well done. Overall it's forgettable but somewhat intriguing .

This movie starts off strong with 5 kills in first 5-10 minutes that were cool and fun. Then turns into a corny "love story" with super scripted story lines that is drawn out for 30-40 minutes with no action. The storyline is predictable and plays out like a wanna be I know what you did last summer type of vibe with empty police stations and a drive in movie theater playing 60s movies...yeah sure..🙄 the comedy of the movies misses and story sucks. This movie is lame af. Don't waste your time seeing this in the theater, wait until it streams but I don't see it getting picked up beyond Tubi......

No couple is safe on Valentine's day, the Heart eyes killer, known by the news and broadcasters as The HEK, relentlessly kills unsuspecting couples.

I was seriously looking forward to this, they made it look quite something in the trailers, I was expecting something along the lines of Scream, what I wasn't expecting was a film that had horror elements, but was 70% romcom, I'm not one hundred percent sure it worked.

It definitely deserves a couple of points for originality, I can't think of many films that have emade me laugh and bad a couple of decent jump scares. The restaurant scene also made me chuckle, amusing to see the man being objectified, it was funny.

If they'd done less of the soppy stuff and more scares, it would have worked a whole lot better, there were essentially three big scare scenes, you couldn't really blame the killer going after that awful couple at the start.

Interesting, if flawed.

6/10.

Heart Eyes was a good attempt at a holiday themed horror movie, but ultimately didn't know what it wanted to be. A romantic comedy mixed with horror elements seems like an interesting idea, but unfortunately ended up dull. Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding are great in their roles and the character design for the Heart Eyes Killer was cool. The story was a little bit all over the place and doesn't have much of a payoff in the end. The kills were fun and creative, but usually done for laughs. Overall, if you are looking for a silly and dumb horror movie for a Valentine's Day date night, Heart Eyes is a good choice.
