I saw Heart Eyes today. I was not a fan. The two leads (Olivia Holt, Mason Gooding) were cute and I especially liked Olivia. The kills were decent. But besides that, the script in this movie was BAD. It feels like a hallmark movie version of Scream. The direction was very basic and generic, nothing new here that hasn't already been done in other slasher films a 1000000000+ times already. Despite all this, for awhile the movie sorta (barely) had me, but that last act. Oh boy. It's terrible. The "twist" is so forced and was cringe worthy. It's not even enjoyable in a "so bad it's good" way it's just plain ol terrible. I was a bit shocked this even got a theatrical release while watching it. I've seen better slasher movies that went direct to streaming... ugh. I really wanted to like this movie. It's not the worst horror slasher I've seen but it certainly isn't good imo. If you're really in the mood for a slasher movie just watch (or rewatch) any of the Scream movies or Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was WAYYYYYYY better than this and had a similar concept of a holiday themed killer. It's a shame really because I like this director. His movie Werewolves Within (2021) was really fun and enjoyable. I had a great time with that movie which is why I was excited for this. So yeah, if you're wanting to see this movie don't pay for it lol. Either wait for it to hit streaming (betting this will be on Netflix by April-May) or use a free ticket. It's not good. Sorry
@HHN Maddux lmao. I hope you enjoy it still I know you've been excited for this!
