Film Review – Heart Eyes

“Heart Eyes” is co-written by Christopher Landon, who’s found his niche in recent years as an architect of horror comedies, trying to crank up the humor on slasher cinema offerings. He’s been involved in the “Happy Death Day” franchise, “Freaky,” and “We Have a Ghost,” driven to take the sting out of scares while chasing silliness. “Heart Eyes” remains in line with Landon’s previous projects, this time bringing the action to Valentine’s Day, going holiday with a tale of a hulking killer on the loose, targeting lovers out in the open during a season of tenderness. It’s not a “My Bloody Valentine” remake, as Landon isn’t interested in being serious, taking his latest into overkill when it comes to cutesiness, ruining any potential fear factor the story has to offer. The odd tonality of the effort really disrupts the fun ride the writing is straining to deliver. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
