Nothing says happy Valentines Day like some blood guts and gore. Heart Eyes is a horror-romantic comedy that attempts to merge the slasher and rom-com genres into a unique Valentine’s Day bloodbath. Directed by Josh Ruben, the film follows a jaded marketing executive, Ally (Olivia Holt), who finds herself caught in a twisted game of love and death alongside her corporate rival-turned-reluctant-romantic-partner, Jay (Mason Gooding), as they evade a masked serial killer known as the Heart Eyes Killer (HEK). HEK has a striking mask that has glowing red heart cut outs for eyes. The visual is stunning and very memorable. The film does a fine job of walking the line between slasher film and rom-com, never delving too much into either. The gags are funny and the kills are quite gruesome. An overall fun experience that won’t change your outlook on life but is still worth a watch.
