In the winking rom-com slasher “Heart Eyes,” a serial murderer in a mask that resembles a demented emoji thrives on offing lovebirds in brutal, punny fashion. Take one look at the obnoxious duo whose staged proposal sets the scene for the film’s opening massacre and you can’t blame the killer for pouncing from the bushes,

If “Heart Eyes” were a Valentine’s Day card, it would be scrawled in jagged black ink with a deep red smear in the corner.

Mason Gooding and Olivia Holt lead the charming horror rom-com 'Heart Eyes,' about a masked psychopath who kills only on Valentine’s Day.

While “Heart Eyes” — a clever mashup hitting theaters one week before Valentine’s Day — isn’t heavenly stuff, it should make for a fun date night.

Finally, a flick that can please every Valentine’s Day moviegoer: those who hate the lovey-dovey holiday, those who adore it, those who want romance in their Valentine’s Day movies and those who prefer their gushing more gory.
