Holiday rom-com lovers who are also slasher film completists: That’s the coterie that might go for Josh Ruben’s “Heart Eyes,” a romantic comedy feebly masquerading as a horror movie.
The distinctive characteristics of the chain festival are integrated into the configuration: Ally (Olivia Holt), a young seller of a jewelry company, first resists the charms of a handsome independent worker, Jay (Mason Gooding), when they join In a project.
But as romance flourishes between the two, horror is activated as they become the objective of the heart’s eye killer, a maniac of impediment that wanders through the country knocking down lovers, disguised as a mask with holes with bright heart -shaped eyes.
Ruben tries to move the action. But it is hindered through a disheveled and direction script, accredited to Phillip Murphy, Christopher Landon and Michael Kennedy, who shines his characters in scenes of inactive discussion, adding a tedious episode at the most empty police station in the world. Foreigners whose speed speed is the speed of circulation.
It is difficult to discern who the film is when it seems to have been transmitted in gender writing in search of an identity. It is on the issue of Valentine’s Day, however, the multitude of romantic comedies will not last long with a monster that machete in the bodies. Horror enthusiasts have noticed the many Slasher Slasher conventions of the film used before with much more novelty and objective. Comedy is Nebraska: wide and flat.
A horror rom-com can be delightful — “Lisa Frankenstein” nailed it — but this film would put even Cupid in a bad mood.
The Center sought out R for stupendous violence, blood, and literal pain. Playing time: 1 hour 30 minutes. In the theaters.
