Imagine a world where every time the one day of the year comes to celebrate love found between two people comes around and as they prepare to show eachother how grateful they are, disaster strikes.
Slaughter after slaughter, couples are killed without mercy; hunted down as if they were animals. This is what Heart Eyes is about. Heart eyes came out on February 7, 2025.
Heart Eyes is essentially about a ruthless killer who goes out on Valentine’s Day and Slaughters couples in the most gruesome ways.
For example, the beginning shows two couples are about to get married when the couple is slaughtered by a cupid heart shaped arrow and the other is crushed in a winery.
As the killer hunts, the cops are always on his trail but always show up too late. Later we are introduced to the main character, Ally, played by Olivia Holt, who is single and struggling in her job because of the current heartbreak and hardship she’s been going through.
Since she’s single, she seems like an unfit victim for the heart eyes killer but if that were true there would be no movie.
In the beginning she has an adorable meet-cute with a guy at a coffee shop who later on is revealed to be a helper at the same company as her.
His name was Jay Simmons, played by Mason Goodling. She later becomes an actual victim for the heart eyes killer because she had gone out on a date with this guy on Valentine’s Day, completely disregarding the fact that couples for the past three years have been slaughtered for going out on Valentine’s Day.
As the movie continues it reveals to be not only a thriller but a comedy as well. Most of the jokes had the theater continuously laughing throughout the movie while also on the edge of their seats.
For example one of the jokes was actually a reference to Fast and Furious, the joke being two cops being Hops and Shaw the joking being like from Fast and Furious but when Hops and Shaw are told that they claim to have no idea what Ally is talking about.
Although the jokes are funny, some of the jokes are definitely inappropriate for young children but despite that fact the movie is more unique than most slasher movies.
This would be because Ally eyes is the only Valentine slasher movie that actually revolves around Valentine’s Day.
It also has a multitude of suspicious characters but none of which seem to be a dead giveaway for the killer so it always has the watchers guessing.
and as if that isn’t unique enough at the end the Killer is revealed to not be one person but three one of which is killed before the grand reveal.
This movie was a pretty good balance of comedy thriller and romance with plenty of jokes and very creative deaths for each character. You could never guess what kind of death would be for these victims if you were to just look at the movie cover.
