Heart Eyes (2025)

Mildly Entertaining Horror-Comedy ‘Heart Eyes’ Hits Familiar Notes. The Valentine’s Day-themed slasher pic ‘Heart Eyes’ makes for gory, fast-paced fun but often feels like a lot of other recent comic horror outings. Forget “elevated” horror. The last few years have seen a new crop of self-aware horror comedies populated (in varying degrees) by likable if often socially inept protagonists, copious amounts of gore played for laughs, a smattering of pop culture references, and a deluge of ironic needle drops.

Think ‘Happy Death Day,’ ‘Freaky,’ and ‘It’s a Wonderful Knife,’ and now add ‘Heart Eyes’ to that list.
