The cherished tradition of holiday-themed slasher films continues to thrive in 2025, as “Heart Eyes” emerges as a new favorite for both horror enthusiasts and romance aficionados. Under the direction of Josh Ruben (Werewolves Within, Scare Me), this film skillfully balances elements of romance and horror, creating a seamless blend of slasher and romantic comedy. The result is a film where the visceral gore is matched only by the palpable chemistry between leads Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding. It stands out as a rare slasher that appeals to a wide audience without compromising on its gruesome content.

Ruben, collaborating with writers Phillip Murphy (The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard), Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky), and Michael Kennedy (Freaky), establishes a charming, humorous, and suspenseful atmosphere right from the outset. The film opens with a chilling sequence that introduces the Heart Eyes Killer, who employs a particularly gruesome and pun-laden method of dispatching couples. This killer, recognizable by a distinctive mask poised for merchandising, targets lovers across the nation each Valentine’s Day.
