The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeFeb 19, 2025
It’s all fairly predictable. Anyone who has seen more than a couple of serial killer movies will have no problem assembling a list of possible masked murderers. But Josh Ruben’s film goes above and beyond when it comes to squelchy, visceral gore. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Alison WillmoreFeb 7, 2025
Heart Eyes is strong enough that the shortcomings that keep it in the realm of the passable instead of the actually good are maddening. Read full review

ABC NewsPeter TraversFeb 7, 2025
For all its imperfections and borrowed horror inspirations, this cheeky romcom scarefest is still one movie Valentine that delivers the goods for shudders and cuddles. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesAmy NicholsonFeb 5, 2025
A Valentine’s Day massacre in which PDA leads to public executions, it’s got decent gags, middling scares and a rationale sloppier than two dogs sharing a strand of spaghetti. As date night fare, it’ll do. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckJan 31, 2025
The creatives’ obvious affinity for the genre comes through in every frame of the film, and to their credit Heart Eyes includes many clever touches. Read full review

Heart Eyes is solid enough to entertain. The jokes land, the leads are great, and the romance storyline is surprisingly sweet. Read full review

IGNA.A. Dowd Jan 31, 2025
From the sincerity of the lead performances to the cartoonish gore offered by Werewolves Within director Josh Rubenn. There are much worse ways to spend Valentine’s Day than a genre cocktail for saps and gorehounds alike. Read full review

The A.V. ClubKatie RifeFeb 5, 2025
Even when its characters do get earnest, Heart Eyes has its tongue so far in its cheek that these moments of vulnerability are also viewed from an ironic distance. Instead of feeling for these characters, we’re waiting for the bloody punchline—which will come, and will be funny in a deliciously morbid kind of way. There’s nothing to hold on to, and certainly nothing to be afraid of. Read full review

The Daily BeastNick SchagerFeb 5, 2025
[A] bland stab at genre hybridization, whose sole accomplishment is falling flat at everything it tries. Read full review

Screen RantMolly FreemanJan 31, 2025
All in all, Heart Eyes is a fine horror movie. It has a fun and unique idea, and the first act of the movie is very strong, but Heart Eyes loses its way and culminates in a middling-to-bad third act that squanders all the potential of the premise and beginning. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeFeb 7, 2025
Whatever might have made sense on paper just doesn’t translate to screen, a fun little concept that ends up being something of a drag. Read full review
