Heart Eyes

Heart Eyes does a good job balancing slasher gore with humor, which is a harder combination to pull off than it looks. The film knows exactly what kind of movie it wants to be and leans into the absurdity without losing sight of the horror elements.

Mason Gooding continues to carve out a nice place for himself in the modern slasher genre. His performance brings a lot of charm and energy to the film, helping the comedy land while still keeping the stakes believable enough to work.

The kills are creative, the pacing is brisk, and there are plenty of entertaining moments throughout. The story itself isn't especially memorable, and some of the characters feel fairly disposable, but that's not really why people watch movies like this.

It's not a great slasher, but it's a fun one, and I had a good time with it.
