Heart Eyes

Do not expect cinematic genius.

Do not expect Oscar worthy writing, acting or even costuming.

Do not expect to be scared, there wasn't any visual only mild suspense.

Do expect to cringe at some awkward meet-cute moments.

Do expect campy gore that isn't realistic in the slightest.

Do expect to laugh out loud because you just didn't expect something so predictable to be sort of refreshing.

I seriously guffawed at this well paced and goofy movie.

It was awkwardly cute. As if a Hallmark movie fell in love with a Jason Voorhees obsessed teenager and they wrote a movie about it. I think it only got an R rating because of the swearing and perhaps the visual of a sex toy. There wasn't any visual sex (but there is audible thrown in for gross factor) or nudity in this film.

As we were leaving the theater, I thought to myself "that was a fun movie!". It wasn't serious. There was not a lot of thinking involved. I just enjoyed being on a break from reality. I was simply entertained from the beginning until the credits.

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.

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 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.
