It’s Halloween today. But if you’re more concerned with what your Valentine’s Day plans are going to be, we have the perfect bit of news: there’s a love-up blood-soaked horror slasher on the way titled Heart Eyes, with Freaky’s Christopher Landon and Michael Kennedy on writing duties (alongside Phillip Murphy). The first trailer has just arrived – and since it’s Red Band, it’s a blood-soaked early peek, promising a new iconic horror mask, plenty of gory kills, and a sly sense of humour. Watch it here:
It’s seems the new original slasher boom will continue to deliver – the idea here of a killer specifically hunting down loved-up couples feels fresh. There’s not a huge amount of plot to get into yet, but that eerie masked foe is known as the ‘Heart Eyes Killer’. The cast list – most of whom will likely be facing the chopping block – includes Disney alumnus Olivia Holt, Scream’s Mason Gooding, and Fast & Furious’ Jordana Brewster, as well as Gigi Zumbado and Michaela Watkins. Plus, Final Destination fans will be pleased to see Devon Sawa among the roster. In the director’s chair is Josh Ruben, whose previous film was the acclaimed horror-comedy-mystery Werewolves Within.
This one – of course – arrives on Valentine’s Day in 2025, so you have a few months to find a date with a strong stomach. We’ll see if we all heart-eyes-emoji Heart Eyes when it hits cinemas next February.
