Heart Eyes

Heart Eyes is a 2025 American romantic comedy slasher film directed by Josh Ruben and written by Phillip Murphy, Christopher Landon (who also produces), and Michael Kennedy.

[4] The film stars Olivia Holt, Mason Gooding, Gigi Zumbado, Michaela Watkins, Devon Sawa, and Jordana Brewster.

For the past few years, a serial killer known as "Heart Eyes" has moved from different cities in the United States, killing multiple couples on Valentine's Day.

Jay suggests they have dinner that night to gain inspiration, and Ally's best friend Monica helps her pick out an outfit.

The two of them reconcile their differences and take a cab to Ally's apartment, where Jay helps her break in after she forgets her key, cutting his hand in the process.

Detective Jeanette Shaw and her partner Hobbs arrest Jay for the murders due to evidence regarding a wedding ring engraved with the initials "J.S."

Ally then pushes Shaw onto a statue of Saint Valentine, stabbing her in the neck with a metal straw, as it slowly decapitates her.

In a mid-credit scene, Ally receives a mysterious and sinister phone call, which is then revealed to be Monica pretending to be Heart Eyes, having photographed the proposal.
