You might think, “oh well, it’s a rom-com slasher, it can’t be that violent!” Well, that trailer shows that it can be that violent. Josh Ruben (Werewolves Within) is directing a script from Phillip Murphy, Christopher Landon, and Michael Kennedy. It stars Mason Gooding, Olivia Holt, Gigi Zumbado, Michaela Watkins, Devon Sawa, and Jordana Brewster. Here’s the synopsis.
“For the past several years, the Heart Eyes Killer has wreaked havoc on Valentine’s Day by stalking and murdering romantic couples. This Valentine’s Day, no couple is safe.”
Landon and Divide/Conquer’s Greg Gilreath and Adam Hendricks are producing. Spyglass’ Gary Barber and Chris Stone are Executive Producing with Murphy.
Here’s what Josh Ruben had to say about the project.
“My love of horror is rivaled only by my love of romantic comedies. I’m excited as hell to mount my most challenging genre bender to date: a brutal slasher in a nostalgic rom-com universe.”
Holt has been a rising star in Hollywood lately, she’s starred in projects like Cruel Summer, Totally Killer, Cloak and Dagger, and can be seen in the upcoming film Jingle Bell Heist. Gooding was made a known quantity for his performance in Scream (2022) and Scream VI. He can be seen in the upcoming comedy Y2K.
We’ll have to see how Heart Eyes turns out when it releases in February 2025.
