This movie is a fun blend of horror and comedy, featuring engaging performances, decent action sequences, and gruesome kills by the titular killer. Many fun elements are set up to pay off later.
The plot is that on Valentines Day, a character know as the "Heart Eyes Killer" murders young couples in love. Our protagonists are two ad executives who team up to create a campaign for a over-the-top boss, when they are mistakenly targeted by the murderer.
My only complaint is that the movie telegraphs who the real killer is pretty early on, so the "Big Reveal" isn't a big surprise.
That said, the cast is very engaging, and you are cheering for the characters to prevail.

As all good SF Fans know, after the success of Star Wars, there was a huge rush to cash in with ripoffs around the world. Most are forgettable, and this was one of them.
The ironic thing was that Richard Kiel (who plays the titular humanoid) was offered the role of Chewbacca in Star Wars and turned it down to play Jaws in the James Bond series. This movie is just another example of his poor career choices.
Anyway, the plot is that Discount Darth Vader escapes from a prison planet with the intent of overthrowing his brother, the leader of a space alliance. A mad scientist turns a space pilot (Kiel) into an indestructible monster to unleash on the Earth. Hilarity ensues as they try to copy Star Wars in style but not substance.
The thing is, the movie looks good for the time period, but it suffers from what all Italian films of that era suffer from- bad dubbing. All the ADR line delivery is flat and barely matches the actions of the characters.
It's not even fun in a so-bad-it's-good way.
