Heart Eyes: This Valentine’s Day, Love Gets Deadly
This Valentine’s Day, Heart Eyes transforms romance into a blood-drenched horror with terrifying finesse. From the creative masterminds behind cult hits like Freaky and Happy Death Day, this gripping slasher film launches into theaters on February 7, 2025.
A Gruesome Trailer Drops a Chilling Preview
The fresh trailer (see below) teases the carnage awaiting audiences. It’s clear: this year will have a truly Bloody Valentine. The resurgence of holiday-themed horror continues, spurred by the success of classics like Scream and Halloween. Heart Eyes strides confidently alongside Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving from 2023, paving the way for forthcoming terror like Silent Night, Deadly Night later this year.
A Stellar Cast Takes Center Stage
Directed by Josh Ruben, of Werewolves Within and Scare Me fame, Heart Eyes stars Mason Gooding of Scream and Olivia Holt from Cruel Summer. Its R rating promises strong violence, gore, language, and a touch of sexual content, setting the stage for visceral fear. The story centers around the Heart Eyes Killer, whose evil hallmark terrorizes lovers every February 14. This year, romance becomes a deadly entanglement, with no couple spared from the bloody chaos.
Gigi Zumbado, Michaela Watkins, Devon Sawa, and Jordana Brewster enrich the ensemble, each adding depth to a nightmarish tale. With talent like Zumbado from The Real Bros of Simi Valley and Sawa, known for Final Destination and Chucky, dread takes a familiar yet fresh form.
Behind the Blood-Soaked Curtains
Screen Gems and Spyglass unite for this chilling project, bringing together a skillful script from Phillip Murphy, celebrated for The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, alongside Freaky’s dynamic duo, Christopher Landon and Michael Kennedy. They blend their horror expertise to craft a story both chilling and captivating.
Producing the fright fest, Christopher Landon teams up with Greg Gilreath and Adam Hendricks, whose credits include M3gan and Totally Killer. Their partnership with Spyglass’s Gary Barber and Chris Stone, joined by Mel Turner and Michael Kennedy, adds weight and skill behind the lens. Their combined experience ensures that Heart Eyes delivers more than jumps—a slasher with substance and style.
