Our take
Heart Eyes is an R-rated horror comedy about co-workers hunted by a Valentine-themed serial killer. Expect on-screen stabbings, jump scares, very frequent f-word dialogue, crude sex jokes, and slasher violence played for laughs. The tone satirizes rom-com tropes while showing real blood. Best for mature horror fans, not younger teens
Uplifting themes
Trust and teamwork emerge late, though slasher tropes dominate Leads grow braver together, but most behavior is reactive and messy

Talk after watching
- The film mocks couple culture while still showing real danger. How do horror comedies blur laughs and fear?
- Stalking is played for suspense here. Why is real stalking never romantic or funny?
- Co-workers mistaken for a couple must trust each other. What builds trust under stress?
