- McCarty1313November 26, 2025Surprisingly funny stuff! A decent slasher to boot!
- Hipster ZOMBIEMarch 10, 2025Nothing 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.
- TeddyFurlowAugust 8, 2025One of those funny RomCom Slasher films. No plot really, kills are not unique, in fact some are just laughable. All low level actors
- dj_xwingNovember 12, 2025Nothing special, but still an entertaining rom-com slasher flick
- parcolanJuly 17, 2025Kind of OK for one time watch but still crap
- rg9400March 8, 2025Heart Eyes is an interesting experiment. Part romcom and part slasher thriller, the movie tries to blend the two together to create a fun Valentine's Day horror movie. The result is fairly mixed. The killer's identity is extremely predictable, with it being very easy to figure out which ones are red herrings. When the reveal is done, it doesn't feel very gratifying and ends up actually feeling very cheesy. The set pieces actually look pretty cool with some dramatic imagery at times, but the problem is that there simply are not many of them in the movie. The reason is that the movie tries to balance its romcom genre with the horror, and those two contrasting tropes tend to result in very distinct separations within the movie. What I mean by that is that instead of being able to blend the two genres together, the approach the movie takes is to create what feels like two separate movies and alternate between them. If I had to estimate, the romcom part probably eats up more screentime as well. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding and did chuckle at times, but when the movie tried to build this relationship between the two, it just never really landed for me. It felt very much like insta-love, and we still ended up getting some half-baked backstory to try to make it feel more meaningful even though it caused the movie to come to a screeching halt. The ending really reflects how much the movie wants to be this romance even though that is its weakest element by far. I think the movie would have been a lot better had it focused more on the comedy and horror elements or if it was able to fully blend in the romance into the other two instead of keeping it so disparate. In particular, I think the movie should have had a lot more kills and setpieces because those were genuinely fun. There's some good stuff in this movie, but also a lot of really boring stuff.
- C0XYPLEXJune 15, 2025Want to waste your time watching an unrealistic love story paired with a terrible horror story, well this is it. Pretty sure AI was used to come up with this terrible plot.
- Big HulkyOctober 8, 2025TrEYEadic Eyes. Good slasher film with nice effects, decent acting, and quality kills.
- Jacob O’NealMarch 21, 2025What happens when you mix bad Hallmark romantic comedies with every post-Scream horror movie trope, with just a sprinkling of wokeness and bad jokes? You get Heart Eyes, a movie directed by Josh Ruben, best known for the better than expected Scare Me and Werewolves Within. It was co-written by Christopher Landon, writer director and son of Michael Landon. Normally I like his stuff. Sure, he’s made some stuff that was lower quality, but I liked Happy Death Day and Freaky a lot. So I was actually looking forward to this movie. Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding star as the two people with the “Meet Cute” story that you want to see together, but obstacles get in the way. In this case that is the Heart Eyes Killer (HEK for short) who saw them in the least passionate kiss ever put on screen. This movie had stiff and stilted dialogue, terrible characters and little to no chemistry between anyone in the film. People like Devon Sawa and Jordana Brewster couldn’t save it. The movie somehow manages to fall into every single cliche of romantic comedies and slasher movies. It felt like they had a checklist they were ticking off that the Paul Rudd and Amy Pohler movie They Came Together spoofed. Then they used Scream as the horror model. But Scream was meta and showed the tropes to everyone, pulling back the curtain and telling the world we needed something new in horror, not just using Scream as the new template. There is a moment near the end of the film when Holt is on the phone with her obnoxious friend who tells her to go to the airport and get her man by throwing romcom titles into her monologue. It was such a cringeworthy moment that made me almost turn the film off. I was insulted that anyone would think this was a good idea to make into a movie. But what was it? Is it the directing, the cast, the script? What made it bad? The acting wasn’t terrible. The directing was good on a technical level. The script could have been better with a better cast and crew, I suppose. I think it was just a perfect storm of poor choices. Don’t waste your time.
