Valentine’s Day Horror Film ‘Heart Eyes’ Sparks Excitement with Bloody Praise!

2025 seems to be a thriving period for the slasher movie sub-genre, with “Heart Eyes” emerging as a promising new horror production from Josh Ruben, director of “Werewolves Within”, and writers Christopher Landon (“Happy Death Day”), Phillip Murphy, and Michael Kennedy. Despite numerous horror movies launching in early 2025, such as the anticipated AI thriller “Companion”, “Heart Eyes” appears to stand out as a potential blockbuster based on initial audience reactions to the film.

On X, bigscreenleaks stated, “#HeartEyes will be your newest addiction! Refreshingly good for the slasher genre, Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding have an incredible chemistry that shines in every line they deliver. They draw you in right from the start, keeping you hooked till the end. The kills are not just brutal but also visually stunning, making them a real treat to watch.

Shayhbaz from The Movie Podcast commented, “#HeartEyes is a gory, campy horror with some of the most hilarious scenes this year! Mason Gooding and Olivia Holt share a natural chemistry, while Gigi Zumbado adds an unpredictable vibe to the group. There are several moments that a potential sequel could polish and expand upon!

The Early Praise for ‘Heart Eyes’ Is Universal

The acclaim for “HEART EYES” keeps pouring in, with @HorrorGirlProbs expressing, “This movie is a total blast, destined to be a must-watch every Valentine’s Day. It masterfully combines the best elements of rom-com and horror genres. This custom-made slasher features innovative (and fashionable) kill scenes that could easily make end-of-year ‘best of’ lists.” @francisdominiic was thrilled, saying, “I didn’t think I’d enjoy it this much, but ‘HEART EYES’ was a blast!! The kills were awesome. I’m eager for merchandise! I was swooning! It’s the ideal horror movie for a date night. I’m amazed and can’t wait to include it in my Valentine’s Day collection of horror films! What a hit!” You can find more such enthusiastic responses below.

The movie “Heart Eyes” seems fun-filled and carries a nostalgic feel reminiscent of “My Bloody Valentine”. In this film, two colleagues who are working late on Valentine’s Day end up being mistaken for a couple by an insane masked killer known as the Heart Eyes Killer. Rather than indulging in a romantic dinner and chocolates, they find themselves battling to evade their psychopathic pursuer throughout the night. The cast includes Olivia Holt, Mason Gooding, Gigi Zumbado, Michaela Watkins, Devon Sawa, and Jordana Brewster.

Sawa’s latest review of the movie “Heart Eyes” might lean slightly positive, but it’s hard not to catch his contagious admiration for the film. If you follow Sawa on X, you’ll notice that his passion for upcoming projects always feels genuine rather than scripted. The actor appears genuinely thrilled about the movie, and horror enthusiasts everywhere should be excited about what “Heart Eyes” promises to deliver based on his enthusiasm.

Heart Eyes carves its way into theaters and our hearts on Feb. 7.
