Yeux en coeur

The opening scens and murders made me think..... wow, that's a cool looking character. Some really well thought out fun deaths. This is going to be great.

Then it ground to a halt and it became a really lame romantic comedy (without real comedy, just awkward smile cringe humour). This went on far too long and luckily just when I said out loud....."oh for Christ's sake! Enough of this soppy nonsense" the killer returned and we were off again with some great action. I wasn't really liking the characters yet so didn't care whether they lived or died. Was just wanting more of the killer without the cringe level attempts at comedy.

This film didn't know what it wanted ro be. A soppy romantic soft comedy or an all out slasher gorefest. I guess they thought they were being original trying tk blend the two but it didn't work for me.

The humour seemed out of place and silly and I was constantly thinking "I wish they had played this straight as the killer is really good.

The two cops "Hobbs and Shaw" *eyeroll moment and if it was a nod to something it was lost on me. Same writer ir director as the Staham/Rock film maybe? Otherwise it was just plain odd ??

The police station scenes were well ahem...executed but soon after the film Grinds to another halt to allow some more pointless romance !? Mid chase from a maniac slasher!?? Really!?

Luckily this is not as long as before and the killer takes out the stoners in epic fashion. Now that's more like it.

Ignoring the plenty of opportunities the killer has to end the couples life's yet doesn't the scene is good.

Then back to the soppy romantic slop. And I was almost ready to turn it off.

But then a very lazy twist and we have yet more opportunities to end the heroes but fail and end up toast.

Soppy ending with embarrassing phone call that was supposed to be amusing yet made my eyeballs roll so hard back I could see my brain.

It gets a 5 for the fantastic slasher character who if had been done better and play3d straight couldn't have been a new horror icon.

But wasted opportunity.

It's like a husband and wife team decided to make a film together with one another. One loving Slashers and the other Notting Hill.

The humour didn't land very well and it was ultimately a frustrating mess.

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......

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.

Heart Eyes delivers a wild and enjoyable comic romp infused with a gleeful splatter of blood-soaked chaos. The film strikes a bold balance between horror and humor, creating a delightfully twisted ride that keeps audiences laughing and cringing in equal measure.

The cast's comedic timing shines, with the lead bringing charm and awkwardness to the role. The chemistry between characters enhances the absurdity, making the escalating madness all the more engaging. The creative direction stands out with stylized action sequences and inventive kills that keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

While the film may not be for the faint-hearted, its self-aware tone and sharp wit make it an absolute treat for fans of horror comedies.

Heart Eyes is a blood-splattered joyride, reminding us that sometimes love - and (s)laughter - can be found in the most unexpected places. A must-watch for those who like their laughs served with a side of mayhem.

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.
