Heart Eyes is a new horror film that blends the gore fans crave with lots of clever laughs and a throughline of romance

Heart Eyes centers on an advertising executive named Ally ( Cloak and Daggers Olivia Holt ) Her company calls in freelancer Jay (Screams Mason Gooding) and the two strike up a flirty but unattainable romance.

When Ally kisses Jay to make her ex jealous, that catches the eye of the Heart Eyes killer and things get very bad very quickly.

Gooding is charming and has some solid comedic timing but neither Holt nor Gooding are particularly great in the movie.

It’s not perfect but it’s ambitious and sometimes that’s enough. In a world where we’re desperately in need of new horror icons, we’d gladly line up to see more movies with Heart Eyes, whomever that may be. The film opens February 7 . Want more io9 news?
