Heart Eyes: A Romantic Horror Hits Streaming
The romantic horror flick Heart Eyes, directed by Josh Ruben, is set to haunt streaming services starting March 4. Its global premiere last month, timed for Valentine’s Day, saw the film rake in around $30 million against an $18 million budget—a tidy little love story for the box office.
Heart Eyes spins a chilling tale of a maniac with a deadly twist: he only hunts the lovesick. Just in time for February 14, two coworkers find themselves stuck late at the office, unwittingly catching the eye of this serial killer. Mistaking them for a couple, the dangerous stranger launches into a lethal game of cat and mouse.
The film’s already winning hearts—and screams—on Rotten Tomatoes, boasting an 80% approval rating from critics and a solid 70% from audiences. The press has been quick to cheer Ruben’s deft mashup of slasher thrills and romcom charm.
