Heart Eyes

[HHN Maddux]

Directed by Josh Ruben (Werewolves Within, Scare Me)
Written by Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky), Michael Kennedy (It's a Wonderful Knife), Philip Murphy (Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard)
Produced by Spyglass (Scream (2022), Scream VI, Thanksgiving), Divide/Conquer (Totally Killer)
Distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment

For the past two years, a masked murderer known as the Heart Eyes Killer has been stalking, hunting and brutally slaying couples on Valentine's Day. When co-workers Ally (Olivia Holt) and Jay Simmons (Mason Gooding) are mistaken as a couple by the killer, they become the killer's main targets in a night they'll never forget, in this slasher/rom-com mixup.

While unfortunately produced by Spyglass (saw this movie for free with AMC Stubs, not giving them any of my money), this movie was very, very good IMO. Not only just very well made (cinematography and soundtrack were excellent), this movie hits on every mark. Great characters that you actually grow to care about and want to see survive, surprisingly really funny with lots of laugh-out-loud moments (largely thanks to Gooding's comedic timing and line deliveries), brutal kills with great gore that are always fun and never feel mean-spirited (looking at you Terrifier), and a genuinely scary killer with an intimidating presence and iconic design.

Highly recommend (just... try to see it for free or a low price).

If you are going in expecting a scary movie you will be disappointed. Go in expecting something along the lines of a Scream vibe and you’ll likely enjoy it.

I never went in expecting a scary movie (I love horror movies but I rarely get scared by them, so I never go into any horror movie expecting it to be "scary".) tho!!! I knew exactly what I was getting with this movie. I'm a huge fan of the Scream movies and other slashers like it. I simply think this movie was very lazily written and boringly directed. The kills were cool sure. But everything else was so cliche and dull imo. To me it was basically a hallmark movie script that got turned into a slasher. I also never laughed once during this movie so it failed on the "comedy" front for me too. Companion was a way better horror movie about romance tbh. I enjoyed that movie a lot more and found it a lot funnier

I enjoyed the movie sure it was a little scream like and was not that funny but other then that it was great. I didn't find or expect it to be scary. Overall I really enjoy the movie and I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes slasher films.

I did not get a scream vibe. It had elements of scream, but all scenes that did not directly have Heart Eyes character were beyond cheesy bad.
I also did not find it funny at all, my only laughs were how stupid the scene was.
