Horror fans can brace themselves for a chilling new thriller as Heart Eyes is set to hit theaters on February 7, 2025, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Premiering exclusively in theaters across the US, UK, and other regions, the film will provide a terrifying alternative to the typical romantic fare that dominates the holiday.
Heart Eyes shares its release date with Love Hurts, another Valentine’s Day-themed movie, but where Love Hurts promises romance, Heart Eyes takes a dark and suspenseful turn. The film centers on the notorious “Heart Eyes Killer,” a serial murderer who targets couples in love, turning the holiday of romance into a nightmare. With its dark tone and eerie atmosphere, the film is poised to keep audiences on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
The screenplay, crafted by Phillip Murphy, Christopher Landon, and Michael Kennedy, offers a gripping narrative that takes place in the heart of Seattle. In a tense twist of fate, two co-workers—played by Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding—are mistakenly believed to be a couple by the killer. As they navigate the city’s romantic landscape, they must work together to survive the deadly pursuit.
The official synopsis reads:
“Two co-workers (Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding) are mistaken for a couple by a murderer in Seattle on Valentine’s Day. Forced to evade the killer, they must navigate the city’s romantic landscape while also working together to survive.”
A Killer Valentine’s Day: What to Expect
For years, the Heart Eyes Killer has turned Valentine’s Day into a chilling event, preying on unsuspecting couples. With no clear motive, the masked killer leaves a trail of terror across the city. This year is no different, as couples scramble to escape the killer’s deadly grip in an atmosphere charged with tension and fear.
The writing team behind popular horror films Freaky and Happy Death Day brings a similar energy to Heart Eyes, combining elements of horror, suspense, and violence. The film carries an R-rating due to its graphic violence, foul language, and sexual content, making it a harrowing watch for viewers with a weak stomach.
Star-Studded Cast
The film stars Mason Gooding and Olivia Holt in the lead roles, with support from an ensemble cast that includes Gigi Zumbado, Michaela Watkins, Devon Sawa, and Jordana Brewster. Behind the scenes, Heart Eyes is produced by Christopher Landon, Greg Gilreath, and Adam Hendricks, with executive producers Gary Barber and Chris Stone, among others.
Production Companies
Screen Gems and Spyglass Media Group, known for producing hits like Scream, Scream VI, and Thanksgiving, back the project, promising a high-quality horror experience.

Set to the haunting tune of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” the trailer showcases heart-pounding scenes of panic, screams, and confrontations. In one chilling moment, the killer is described as “Cupid… with a kink,” perfectly encapsulating the twisted nature of the film.
As the trailer concludes, the killer sends a chilling Valentine’s Day message, leaving viewers eager to see what happens next. With its terrifying premise, Heart Eyes is shaping up to be a must-watch for horror enthusiasts this Valentine’s Day.
