The next Heart Eyes trailer has been released, teasing a terrifying Valentine’s Day slasher starring Mason Gooding and Olivia Holt. The film, directed by Josh Ruben and written by Michael Kennedy and Christopher Landon, follows the “Heart Eyes Killer,” a masked murderer who turns Valentine’s Day into a deadly curse for romantic couples.
The trailer begins with a classic rom-com meet-cute between Gooding and Holt’s characters, but quickly takes a dark turn as the Heart Eyes Killer, with a mask featuring heart-shaped eyes, interrupts their date with brutal violence. Set to a chilling rendition of Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” the trailer hints at a thrilling ride for audiences.
The film blends horror and romance, showcasing a unique space in the slasher genre. With the involvement of Gooding and Spyglass Entertainment, the production company behind Scream, the film aims to follow a similar formula with a mix of dark humor and grisly thrills.
The original logline for the movie suggests that Gooding and Holt’s characters are not even a real couple – they’re co-workers mistakenly assumed to be romantically involved by the murderous Heart Eyes Killer. As they navigate a deadly pursuit that takes them from Holt’s cozy bedroom to a nightmarish amusement park, Gooding and Holt’s chemistry and comedic timing shine in the trailer.
The film also stars Jordana Brewster, Gigi Zumbado, and Devon Sawa, and is set to be released on February 7. With its blend of horror and romance, Heart Eyes could be a standout addition to the growing subgenre of holiday-themed horror movies.
