GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Realrockerhalloween Five model type friends are being haunted by a creeper from their childhood who won't let the prank they pulled on him die.Could it be a new friend who came into their life? The maid? Or an old friend they stunned for years? In a way it feels like clue from thewhodone it angle set inside a mansion reminiscent of the 50s.Valentine was generally creepy from the brutal killings, the chase scenes and the creepy paramecia mask that covers his face.Jamie Blank was an Ellery choice to direct what otherwise could've been another b type satire without menace or angst.Usually I don't become frighten by horror easily after watching many over the years but the killer dipping a poor victim into hot dryer and making a sculpture for his beloved scared the heck out of me. He was creative, daring and had a sexual prowls.What makes this a fright fest isn't knowing all the details or plans, but the mystery and the motives behind it that set up a big reveal you won't see coming.Join Katherine Hedigo, David Bronze and Adam Carr in a devil-sh comedy horror that can't be missed.
Climinator Bought this film on DVD nearly a year ago. Upon watching it the first time I thought it was god-awful. Now I've seen it around five times and, although its no masterpiece, its not as bad as I remember.The film sees Paige Presscott and her friends(where have I heard that surname before?), played by Denise Richards, Jessica Cauffiel, Jessica Capshaw, Marley Shelton and Katherine Heigl being stalked by an ex-student called Jeremy Meltonthey humiliated in their old school days. One by one they get sinister valentine cards and start being murdered by someone in a mask and black coat. Are any of Paige's friends safe with their dates? Could one of their dates be Jeremy now thirteen years older? Many people think that this is a slasher in the 'Scream' mould. I don't think that is the case. I think it was meant to be the sort of film that tries to get the audience to enter Jeremy's disturbed mind. A psychological thriller instead of a horror. However I still find some performances far too hammy even if those characters were meant to be comedic. I also found that the leading ladies were rather difficult to relate to. This is why I'm giving it a 5/10 at best.
Toronto85 Someone is killing young women who have a connection to one another - they all knew and/or bullied a boy in junior high school. We first see a Valentine's Day dance held in the high school in 1988. Jeremy Melton is a loner, some might even say a geek. He asks five girls his age for a dance. Most of them turn him down rudely EXCEPT for Dorothy. They get caught making out by some bullies and those bullies humiliate him in front of the whole school. Fast forward thirteen years - the girls are all grown up and are (for the most part) successful women. Pretty soon they, and others, start getting picked off by a mysterious serial killer who stalks them wearing a cupid mask. Could that boy they bullied and make fun of be the killer all grown up, or is the culprit someone new? Perhaps one of the girls' boyfriends?I really enjoyed 'Valentine' when I first saw it years ago. Is it a pretty sophisticated horror film. It's got a beautiful cast, gorgeous location shot, clearly a decent sized budget.. and it's actually scary! There is something unsettling about the killers' mask. It's a cupid mask, but from afar it sort of resembles Michael Myers' mask from the Halloween films. It was really creepy and some of the stalking scenes were just as creepy. The killer goes after his victims in a college campus, a small apartment, a mansion - all the location spots work in this movie. Lots of tense moments when he appears. There isn't a ton of blood, so the gore-hounds might be disappointed. I thought it was a decent amount. It didn't add or take away from the story.Some very good acting in this as well, especially by Marley Shelton, Jessica Capshaw and Denise Richards. I loved Jessica Cauffiel in this as the quirky Lily, but her role was sort of small and she was underused much like Katherine Heigl. I thought "Valentine" (for the year it was made in) was a cut above most slasher/horror flicks. It isn't just some silly average horror movie, it's got class and a certain kind of edge that separates it from others made around this time. The ending, without giving anything away, is also pretty terrifying in my opinion... Good movie all around. I recommend it!8/10
raisleygordon Friday the 13th. Halloween. You know what you're in for. What's new this time is that the "story" is set on Valentine's Day. I know what you're thinking: Halloween events taking place on the sweetest day of the year? And yes, there's a prologue. I don't want to spoil anything for you, but what's revealed in the last scene of the film makes the prologue disappointing and pointless. Will you enjoy this movie? Well there wouldn't be any point on answering that question if you also liked (or loved) the Friday the 13th and Halloween movies. It's just the same thing, only in February. Needless to say, the movie is also predictable. Since it's just a rehash of the aforementioned movies, there's no need to judge the acting, positively or negatively, except to say the ending of the movie is a cop-out.*** out of ****
