When I first saw the trailer for Heart Eyes, I wasnt all that intrigued.
But after seeing it in theaters on Valentines Day, I was pleasantly surprised.
Its a genuinely fun watch that works any time of the year.
Heres why this unexpectedly fun rom-com slasher is worth the watch.
What is Heart Eyes about?
Unbeknownst to them, the killer is watching, believing they are a couple.
As the pair grow closer, they find themselves caught up in the deadly game of Heart Eyes.
That was exactly my mindset going into Heart Eyes.
Now, Im not saying Heart Eyes is some masterpiece that belongs at the top of your must-watch list.
The movie works because it embraces what it is, which is solid popcorn entertainment.
Theres a lot to love about this rom-com slasher, especially the killers design.
Im sure that a mask with glowing heart eyes will be a popular Halloween costume this year.
Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding have insanely good chemistry as Ally and Jay.
As the bickering and banter unfold, you might feel their feelings starting to develop.
Quite the unique premise.
But despite that, it was still a blast.
Holt and Gooding truly carry the movie.
Its mix of romance and slasher horror might have put some people off.
Its self-aware without being obnoxious meaning it can balance its genre mash-up with genuine thrills and laughs.
This is one twisted love story worth experiencing at least once.
