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.

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 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.

6.5/10 STARS - I didn't realize before going into this, that it's categorized as a "rom-com slasher," so the comedic elements to this film were a little bit of a surprise at first. However, once I fully settled into the groove of what this movie was going for, some elements were easier to forgive. There IS one plot point I had a major issue with, but despite that, it was still an enjoyable watch. I enjoyed the chemistry and comedic interactions between the two leads and the pacing was fine. The kills were pretty gnarly, so I think it'll scratch the itch of most horror fans in that regard. While I'm not a fan of rom-coms, I AM a fan of horror, so something like this is right up my alley. Video review available on my YouTube channel.

This movie starts off strong with 5 kills in first 5-10 minutes that were cool and fun. Then turns into a corny "love story" with super scripted story lines that is drawn out for 30-40 minutes with no action. The storyline is predictable and plays out like a wanna be I know what you did last summer type of vibe with empty police stations and a drive in movie theater playing 60s movies...yeah sure..🙄 the comedy of the movies misses and story sucks. This movie is lame af. Don't waste your time seeing this in the theater, wait until it streams but I don't see it getting picked up beyond Tubi......
