We Have Heart Eyes for ‘Heart Eyes’

This is how you master the art of horror comedy! “Heart Eyes” expertly walks the tightrope between self-awareness and genuine suspense, delivering an experience that feels nearly perfect. It’s a wild ride, its gory, hilarious, and a delightful mix of rom-com and slasher genres. The film pays homage to iconic slasher flicks like “Friday the 13th” and “Scream,” while also cleverly referencing a slew of beloved romantic comedies, often mentioning them by name!

Mason Gooding and Olivia Holt shine with exceptional chemistry that’s impossible to ignore. Their characters may deny their magnetic connection, but it only serves to propel the plot forward in deliciously unexpected ways.

Now, was the ending groundbreaking? Not particularly. But it fits seamlessly within this film’s unique narrative style. “Heart Eyes” thrives on the journey rather than the destination, focusing on playful takes of familiar tropes in both slasher and rom-com storylines.

If you’re up for a fresh twist on classic slasher films, “Heart Eyes” is a must-watch!
