Heart Eyes

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 .

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.

This is not a horror film.

This is a romcom with slasher elements but the kills are presented in a very goofy way. The main actress is Julia Stiles reincarnated in Gen Z and the twenty-somethings featured in the story evoke silly teen comedies of the 2000s. The darkest thing about this movie was the dark cyan color grading--also found in abundance in the 2000s in teen horrors. The dialogue and characters are cartoonish, the protagonist is invincible even in her juvenile and clumsy silliness, and the movie, admittedly, is successful in creating an odd fusion romcom with horror but it only works if you were expecting Bring It On, Not Another Teen Movie, or Scary Movie. But sprinkle in a few funny killings.

It's also by SONY. Do with that what you will.

The first and last kills would probably be the only interesting thing to a viewer expecting a horror movie. Toss the rest.

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.

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.
