Heart Eyes (2025): Valentine’s Day Gets Brutal in This Horror Comedy

I watched a horror comedy movie that was released on Apple TV Plus. It was released in theaters earlier but I could not watch this movie in theaters. But I watched this movie as soon as it was released on OTT. The name of the movie is Heart Eyes.

Trailer Reaction & Expectations

Before watching this movie I watched its trailer. So I also thought that this movie will be the same cheap movie and its rating will hardly be five or more. The movie will not get good ratings. But surprisingly, this movie got 3 rating and many people rated it and according to me, this movie deserves a bit more than that. Why? How it happens, will be revealed later but first let's talk about the story without spoilers.

Story Overview (Spoiler-Free)

The story takes place on February 14, Valentine's Day, because the movie was released on Valentine's Day and there is a serial killer who has been killing many people for years. But it kills only those lovers who are couples. We are meeting on February 14th, why and how you must have understood that he works to kill those people. It works to clean up society but in the meantime, our movie's main protagonists, who aren't even a couple, fall prey to it. They meet each other and they kiss so well that the serial killer falls in love with them and starts following them. And his sole purpose is to destroy them both.

Story Analysis & Pacing

As for how I felt about the story, the story seemed quite different than I expected because I already thought this movie was useless. Because I haven't seen this movie. But as soon as I watched this movie, I was very excited from the very first scene because the production budget was quite good and all the scenes were quite brutal and gruesome. In one scene, a girl is being crushed inside a machine. His eyes pop out. There are many more such scenes which after watching I realized that the production budget of this movie is quite good and we will see many more such amazing scenes in this movie.

So story wise I would say this movie surprised me. It's quite different from what I thought. As with normal movies, this type of rating is such that the movie builds slowly and then fades away. But this movie suddenly went up, then came down, then behaved normally, then went up again, then came down, then went forward, up and down like that, that is, there are several such scenes in it. Such situations arise. There comes a time when you think the game is over. But then the game starts again which is why I found the movie quite surprising and that's why I liked its story so much.

Story wise this movie is very good, we have seen many movies like this but still I can't remember any other movie while watching this movie. I have seen movies like this elsewhere. While watching this movie, I was totally engrossed in it. So the first positive aspect of the series is that its story is very good. There is a little problem in the production. At some places we think yes, there might be mistakes here but one thing I can say is that at the end you won't understand who the serial killer is and you will be shocked when the mystery unfolds because I won't give any spoilers. But after knowing this you will be quite shocked and no matter how many exhibitions you organize, you will think it will be this or that. I also had a lot of guesses that this would be a serial killer but he doesn't come out and you definitely can't guess who the serial killer is.

Performances & Acting

The performance of all the actors and actresses in this movie is mind-blowing. It's a pretty good performance. I loved the performance of every actor. I really liked the humor and sarcasm used in it as people were dying and being cut up.

Humor & Dark Comedy Elements

But even then, that incident doesn't matter to us. We laugh a lot. I remember very well a scene where there are a lot of people and a boy sees the villain calling him a serial killer and how he knows who he is and gets away with stabbing him, I laughed a lot there. People kill us but we don't care. The dark humor shown in this movie makes us laugh. While watching it, you won't think for a second that, oh, the poor guy is dead. No, you will not feel that way anywhere. If he dies, he dies. We are having a lot of fun. Because of this we also become a little negative.

Character Development & Emotional Connection

If they had worked better on character development, it would have been better because the characters are mostly not connected to each other and I think the reason behind this is that it is a dark comedy movie and so they deliberately didn't let us do that. Connect emotionally with someone. So that we don't get emotional about anyone.

When you watch the movie, we also want to laugh, and it is a plus movie. Well, it only has one scene. If you remove the kissing scene, I'm talking about the scene that isn't even open. But there you will know what is happening here. For this reason, don't watch it with the family. Watch it yourself first and then decide if you want to see it or not. And what I told you is, there's a little problem with predicting. Now here you can't guess the serial killer. You can imagine that this might be the case with this girl here, you can imagine that in some places, so the creativity of the mind has a little problem, otherwise this movie lacks nothing else.

Ratings & Final Thoughts

This movie has a rating of 8% on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie is brand new, which is quite a good rating. I think I got the IMDB rating. This movie easily deserved a 7 rating because I really liked this movie.

Some people might not like it very much. Some may have seen many movies like this so I can't say, but I really liked the movie, at least I didn't remember any other movies while watching this movie. I will watch the movie too.

The movie is currently available in English on Apple TV Plus, but will definitely be available in Hindi on Prime Video or Netflix in a few days. And if you've already seen this movie, be sure to let us know in the comments how you liked it.
