Vacation-themed slasher villains have been getting a much bigger highlight over the previous few years. Together with Michael Myers’ return within the Halloween reboot trilogy, we’ve had Thanksgiving, Terrifier, and now Valentine’s Day is getting in on the murderous enjoyable with Sony’s new film, Coronary heart Eyes.
Directed by Werewolves Within’s Josh Ruben, the movie sees Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding as a pair of Seattle coworkers working extra time on Valentine’s Day. Sounds probably romantic, besides there’s a masked assassin within the metropolis generally known as the Coronary heart Eyes Killer that’s focusing on romantic {couples}. After the duo witness the killer pull off a grotesque double homicide, Coronary heart Eyes figures they have to be paramours and decides to show their consideration (and knife) on them. They’re not a pair, however possibly sparks will fly as they go on the run and attempt to survive the evening.
Coronary heart Eyes has some Scream DNA in it, and never simply with Gooding’s casting; it was co-written and produced by Christopher Landon, the unique director for Scream 7 who exited the project final 12 months after Paramount and Spyglass (a manufacturing firm on the movie) fired Melissa Barrera over her pro-Palestinian feedback referencing the Israel-Hamas battle. On the movie’s announcement in June, Ruben promised the movie would ship on being “a brutal slasher in a nostalgic rom-com universe.” The tagline guarantees “no couple is secure,” and when you’ve seen the latest Scream films, plenty of these kills will be imply, so watching it occur to lovers is likely to be enjoyable in a twisted type of method?
Additionally starring Devon Sawa, Jordana Brewster, and Michaela Watkins, Coronary heart Eyes kills with love (and no matter else is round) on February 7, 2025.
