Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Revenge is sweet just like a valentine bonbon. Thats what a vengeful cupid-masked killer thinks: be his valentine or else. Broken hearts and other mortal wounds await a cast of rising stars as they die for love in this hip shock-filled thriller. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 10/05/2004 Starring: David Boreanaz Marley Shelton Run time: 96 minutes Rating: R Director: Jamie Blanks

Amazon.com:
Five comely and well-to-do female friends receive dire threats inside anonymous valentines. When two of them meet violent ends, the remaining trio suspect that the killer may be a nebbishy former classmate whom they spurned years before at a school dance. Their solution: Throw a lavish Valentine's Day party, all the better to distract them from the hulking, cherub-masked killer...

As the above suggests, Valentine is the absolute nadir of the post-Scream slasher film. Australian director Jamie Blanks (whose previous effort was the equally dismal Urban Legend, 1998) obviously had lofty goals for his film, given his bald-faced homages to John Carpenter and Dario Argento. But he hasn't a clue as to how to generate suspense, and his frequent reliance on well-worn shock effects (hands dropping on shoulders, etc.) suggests more contempt for the genre than affection. No less than four writers (including two writer-producers for Roswell, which explains the appearance of series star Katherine Heigl) contributed to the screenplay, which fails to generate the twentysomething drama and hip, cutting dialogue required for this brand of horror. As the five friends, actresses Marley Shelton, Denise Richards, Jessica Capshaw, Jessica Caufield, and Heigl have little to do other than alternately look attractive or afraid; Richards, in particular, looks weary of playing the man-eater. As Shelton's dipsomaniac boyfriend, David Boreanaz (Angel) lumbers through each scene with an embarrassed scowl.

Warner Bros.' DVD includes commentary by Blanks, as well as cast and crew interviews and a video for Orgy's contribution to the noisy, new-metal soundtrack. --Paul Gaita

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Valentine..... REALLY GREAT MOVIE!
i love this movie. a lot of people think that the killer was obvious but i didn't see it coming! i loved the chases,deaths,and suspenseful moments!

if you loved or liked Urban Legends 1, 2, and 3, scream 1, 2, and 3.
Shredder, Jeepers creepers, my bloody valentine, Final stab, and do you wanna know a secret?

THEN YOU WILL LOVE THIS



make a sequel!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best served cold
SPOILER ALERT:
Valentine is a film that is hated in some quarters. As one might gather from my 5 star rating, I disagree. There are one or two things that I would characterize as weaknesses. It is a bit slow in the middle, and the characters are quite flat and boring(with the exception of Dorothy and Jeremy.) However, these shortcomings sort of feed off of one another.If the characters were not so weak, the middle segment of the film would have been much more easily tolerated. At the end of ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fun, entertaining, old school-like slasher!!
I really enjoyed this film! While it is not as intense or gut-wrenching like the more recent films The Strangers, Wolf Creek or High Tension, it is still a very fun, entertaining ride. I do not care too much for the horror films that came before this which are usually referred to now as the "post-Scream" era from the late nineties to the early 2000's. Scream was more or less making fun of the genre although it did have its fun, suspenseful moments. However this one worked for me. Like the original ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Carries the torch of the classic slasher into the 21st century
This review is really like a companion piece to Daniel Jolley's Amazon review of October 12, 2002. He has already expressed everything I could about this movie in the best possible way. So many have panned it which is why I found Daniel's review to be so refreshing, and it inspired me to chime in my own two cents and up the review average in favor of this highly entertaining and very fun horror movie.

Some have said that "Scream" reignited the slasher genre in the mid '90s but I have ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Look Out! Cupid's Got A Knife!...
VALENTINE is a terrific homage / tribute / throwback movie. Watching it takes me back to the gory-glory days of 70s and 80s classics like HALLOWEEN, PROM NIGHT, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, HE KNOWS YOU'RE ALONE, etc. I love the cherub-masked killer! There's just something very unsettling about a giant baby w/ a butcher-knife! As for the gorgeous gaggle of gals, I must say that I was impressed! Denise Richards (Starship Troopers, Wild Things) and co. are all knockouts, even while being knocked off! So, if you ... Read More
