This tax season, why not shrug off the deadline in style by watching a Valentine’s day themed violent comedy-horror slasher instead? On April 15, Sony Pictures’ Heart Eyes will make its Blu-Ray debut.
This is still playing in some theaters, actually — Valentine’s Day wasn’t that long ago, and Sony figured audiences were in the mood for something a little more unconventional. Heart Eyes didn’t do THAT well (probably why it’s coming to home video so soon), but it didn’t bomb either. So, what’s this thing about?
If you guessed “a serial killer who wears a mask with LED hearts over the eyes,” you’d be right, but you’re also a cheater since all you did was look at the box art. The real stars of Heart Eyes are the “couple” at its center. Heart Eyes wreaks his/her/their vengeance every February 14 by going after romantic lovers. But he/she/they kinda goofed this time: the pair they’re trying to kill don’t really like each other, they’re just stuck together at work one evening. WILL they fall in love? I mean probably, why would the story turn out any other way, but they may have to survive a lot of murder attempts to get there.
Heart Eyes was written and produced by one of our favorite modern movie makers, Christopher Landon — he was responsible for the awesome Happy Death Day movies as well as Freaky. You can sense a pattern from this guy — horror-comedies with slasher antagonists are his niche, but it’s a niche he works well. Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding play the main characters; the identity of Heart Eyes is a mystery.
When you open the Blu-Ray to this film, here’s what you get:
