It should likely come as no surprise that the upcoming Valentine’s Day slasher Heart Eyes received an appropriate slasher rating, and that R-rated stamp comes ahead of the film’s full trailer arriving next week.
The slasher is set to arrive in theaters on February 7, 2025.
Heart Eyes has been rated “R” for “strong violence and gore, language and some sexual content.”
In the film, “For the past several years, the Heart Eyes Killer has wreaked havoc on Valentine’s Day by stalking and murdering romantic couples. This Valentine’s Day, no couple is safe.”
Heart Eyes’ first red-band teaser signaled an R-rated slasher ahead, complete with a brutal kill, but it’s nice to receive official confirmation that this horror movie will embrace the holiday’s “red“ color scheme via bloodletting and gore.
Josh Ruben (Werewolves Within, Scare Me) is directing the Valentine’s Day-themed horror movie, with Mason Gooding (Scream) and Olivia Holt (“Cruel Summer”) starring.
Gigi Zumbado (The Real Bros of Simi Valley) and Michaela Watkins (“Dinner with the Parents”) will also star in the upcoming Heart Eyes, alongside Devon Sawa (Final Destination, “Chucky”) and Jordana Brewster (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning).
The new horror movie from Screen Gems and Spyglass (Scream, Scream VI, Thanksgiving) features a screenplay written by Phillip Murphy (The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard) and Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) & Michael Kennedy (Freaky).
Christopher Landon and Divide/Conquer’s Greg Gilreath and Adam Hendricks (M3gan, Totally Killer) are producing. Spyglass Media Group’s Gary Barber and Chris Stone will serve as Executive Producers with Mel Turner, Philip Murphy, and Michael Kennedy.
The official R-rating arrives ahead of the slasher’s full trailer, which will arrive this Tuesday, according to writer and producer Michael Kennedy. Stay tuned.
