Clevercell Very disappointing...

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Leofwine_draca A predictable teeny slasher movie which scores thanks to a wealth of explicit and gruesome death sequences, a few good jumps, and some nice stalk 'n' slash routines which are handled well by enthusiastic Australian director Jamie Blanks (who cut his horror teeth on URBAN LEGEND). Blanks seems to have his heart in the right place - after all he is a big horror fan - and indeed with the right material he could be the break that the genre is currently looking for. In the meantime, VALENTINE is fairly mindless fodder, appeasing enough but nothing that you wouldn't expect from the premise. Although the movie is fairly slow paced when it comes to the action, it's plot heavy stuff with plenty of minor characters and red herrings to keep the viewer on his/her toes and the running time pretty much flies by; rarely was I having to resort to checking my watch as I sometimes do with new releases.The death scenes are the one element of the film that do show some originality about them. Victims are killed in novel fashions, with weapons such as irons, hot tubs, even a bow and arrow in one macabre and violent romance-inspired game. The appearance of the killer, in a creepy cherub mask and black clothing, is a fairly memorable one (a lot better than the boring parka-clad fencing-mask-wearing murderer in URBAN LEGEND, that's for sure) and there are some okayish suspense bits going on here, my favourite being at the beginning with the macabre yet methodical stabbing of the corpses in the body bags, whilst another murder at a weird media art exhibition is disorientatingly good.On the downside, the characters are grating and unappealing and the story appears to have been borrowed wholesale from SCREAM, following a very strict and unremarkable plot to the unsurprising end which nonetheless finishes ambiguously, which makes a nice change from the usual run-of-the-mill productions which feel it necessary to tie up every single loose end. The casting is fairly average; the young actresses are good enough to carry themselves but the ante has been upped in the youth horror genre as of late and none of them excel as they perhaps should. The biggest offender is Denise Richards who is more than happy to play a one-dimensional bitchy character and who grates on the nerves throughout. David Boreanaz appears briefly but is largely wasted, at least until the end. At the end of the day, you can safely miss watching VALENTINE and not worry about anything remarkable that you lost out on seeing; however, if you want some slick, glossy, well-made and occasionally stylish thrills then you could do a LOT worse than this, what with all the junk on the Blockbuster shelves at the moment.

ayu-asyura89 a twelve years old slasher movie but i do still enjoy watching valentine. I like slasher movie, specially from the 70's and 80's and i got everything i expect to see from a slasher movie in Valentine; 1. Murders as a revenge for an incident happened in the past. 2. Serial Killer with distinctive appearance. The Killer's sturdy stature in black attire and cupid's mask is a brilliant in my opinion. 3. The weird Valentine presents and card given by the killers might be reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine (1981). But it helps creating the suspense of the film. 4. decent hide and chase scenes. so far my favorites are both Ruthie and Shelley's murder scene. 5. Revealing moment of the killer's true identity.Perhaps people who dislike Valentine originally browse for a horror movie with malevolent supra natural beings or haunted house in their mind, they find the wrong list in either internet or magazine, stumble upon Valentine, and ended up being disappointed...

HUmarFeatures Friday the 13th Meets Halloween! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In this Case its true. For me at least. But, I see a lot of reviews of this movie that bash it and dog it. The fact that it came out right on the line of when gore movies became popular is probably why people didn't like it. The movie wasn't filled with in your face gore the gore was more like a Friday the 13th. The Killer was very Michael Myersish, which is what I loved about it. The kills as i said where very Friday the 13th. while we are trying to figure out who the killer is the whole movie, That was very Prom Night. Now for my review. The Movie was Very vibrant with colors and at the same time was cold and dark and would send chills up your spin when you would see The Cherub in the shadows. The opening sequence was great I felt like he wasn't in a hurry to kill his victim but was very patient reminded me so much of The Shape from Halloween. The movie builds up suspense like most 80's horror but it also has the campy charm as well. So sad that we will never see a sequel How ever I intend on making a fan film sequel.

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 ****
