Heart Eyes

The opening scens and murders made me think..... wow, that's a cool looking character. Some really well thought out fun deaths. This is going to be great.

Then it ground to a halt and it became a really lame romantic comedy (without real comedy, just awkward smile cringe humour). This went on far too long and luckily just when I said out loud....."oh for Christ's sake! Enough of this soppy nonsense" the killer returned and we were off again with some great action. I wasn't really liking the characters yet so didn't care whether they lived or died. Was just wanting more of the killer without the cringe level attempts at comedy.

This film didn't know what it wanted ro be. A soppy romantic soft comedy or an all out slasher gorefest. I guess they thought they were being original trying tk blend the two but it didn't work for me.

The humour seemed out of place and silly and I was constantly thinking "I wish they had played this straight as the killer is really good.

The two cops "Hobbs and Shaw" *eyeroll moment and if it was a nod to something it was lost on me. Same writer ir director as the Staham/Rock film maybe? Otherwise it was just plain odd ??

The police station scenes were well ahem...executed but soon after the film Grinds to another halt to allow some more pointless romance !? Mid chase from a maniac slasher!?? Really!?

Luckily this is not as long as before and the killer takes out the stoners in epic fashion. Now that's more like it.

Ignoring the plenty of opportunities the killer has to end the couples life's yet doesn't the scene is good.

Then back to the soppy romantic slop. And I was almost ready to turn it off.

But then a very lazy twist and we have yet more opportunities to end the heroes but fail and end up toast.

Soppy ending with embarrassing phone call that was supposed to be amusing yet made my eyeballs roll so hard back I could see my brain.

It gets a 5 for the fantastic slasher character who if had been done better and play3d straight couldn't have been a new horror icon.

But wasted opportunity.

It's like a husband and wife team decided to make a film together with one another. One loving Slashers and the other Notting Hill.

The humour didn't land very well and it was ultimately a frustrating mess.
