Heart Eyes

On a Valentine’s night in Seattle, two coworkers who are burning the midnight oil become targets when a notorious killer who hunts couples zeroes in on them. They get tangled in a citywide chase as the hunter mistakes them for a pair in love. With the town decorated in red and neon, they dodge traps, scramble for clues, and improvise under pressure. The pressure to survive collides with awkward attraction, turning a routine overtime shift into a frantic test of wits and nerves.

Directed by Josh Ruben, Heart Eyes stars Olivia Holt, Mason Gooding, and Gigi Zumbado, and arrives in 2025 from an original screenplay by Christopher Landon, Phillip Murphy, and Michael Kennedy.

With an 18 million dollar budget, the film grossed 33,129,099 worldwide, signaling a modest but solid return for a genre bending horror comedy.

Audience reaction skews mixed, with the film holding an average rating around 6.3 out of 10 from about 430 votes. Viewers respond to the unusual blend of scares, wit and rom com beats, while some feel the tonal shifts tilt too far toward gags. Heart Eyes leans into the holiday mood to probe attraction under pressure and the resilience people show when danger interrupts a date, delivering laughs alongside suspense.
