They do what they can with the material they've got, but a lackluster script doesn't really do them any justice. |
There are some scary moments throughout, however. |
** (out of four) |
There's one line that makes it worth to rent for Angel fans. |
Everyone else: this is just a very bad horror flick. |
The female characters are typical horror movies females. |
They are wooden, annoying and dumb. |
You are glad when they are killed off. |
Long live the strong female character in a horror movie!! |
There are so many puns to play on the title of the spectacularly bad Valentine that I don't know where to begin. |
I will say this though; |
here is a movie that makes me long for the complexity of the Valentine cards we used to give out in elementary school. |
You know, the ones with Batman exclaiming "You're a super crime-fighting valentine!" |
Valentine is a slasher movie without the slightest hint of irony, one of the few horror movies in recent years that ignores the influence of Scream. |
The villain is omniscient and nigh-invulnerable. |
The heroes are easily scared when people run around corners and grab them by the shoulders screaming "HeyIjustleftmycoatbehind!" |
The score is more overbearing than Norman Bates' mother. |
The flimsy plot follows several childhood friends, now grown up and extremely curvaceous. |
Since the film gives them nothing else to do, they stand around and wait until a masked stalker kills them one by one. |
This stalker appears to be former nerd Jeremy Melton, who was constantly rejected by women and beaten by men in high school. |
With Valentine's Day approaching, the women begin receiving scary cards foretelling their doom. |
Melton seems like the obvious suspect. |
Only problem is, as numerous characters warns, in thirteen years Melton could have changed his appearance to look buff and handsome. |
So (insert terrified gasp here) everyone is a suspect! |
Here's problem one. |
In order to have any sense of suspense while watching Valentine, you have to accept a reality in which a high school nerd is capable of becoming David Boreanaz. |
Nerds don't turn into Angel when they grown up, they turn into older, balder nerds. |
He's not a terrible actor, but the script, by no less than four writers, gives him and the rest of the cast nothing to do but scream and make out. |
Denise Richards (the bustiest actress in Hollywood never to star in Baywatch) is especially exploited; |
most shamefully in the blatant excuse to get her in a bathing suit just before a crucial suspense scene. |
Note to self: always bring a bathing suit to a Valentine's Day party. |
Just because it's February doesn't mean you might not feel like taking a little dip. |
The slasher in Valentine dresses in head-to-toe black with a Cherub's mask. |
Here's problem number two. |
The filmmakers clearly thought this would be a disturbing image to have on the head of someone who's whacking people in the face with hot irons. |
Plain and simple, it's not. |
Instead, it just made me wonder how a guy with a mask that covers his entire face, including his eyes and ears, can move so stealthily without bumping his shins on chairs or tables. |
Then again, given the things the Cupid Killer does, maybe he can teleport and his eyes are on his hands. |
Not only is the movie bad, it isn't even sure who the killer is; |
the final "twist" is more "Huh?" |
than "Hah!" |
When you're not scratching your head you're yawning, then groaning, then searching for the nearest exit. |
Do not watch this movie. |
Even if you're alone on Valentine's Day, find something, ANYTHING, else to do. |
You'll be glad you did. |
There is no way to describe how really, really, really bad this movie is. |
It's a shame that I actually sat through this movie, this very tiresome and predictable movie. |
What's wrong with it? |
Acting: There is not one performance that is even remotely close to even being sub-par (atleast they are all very pretty). |
Soundtrack (songs): "If we get Orgy on the soundtrack then everyone will know that they are watching a horror film!" |
Soundtrack (score): Okay, but anyone with a keyboard can make an okay soundtrack these days. |
Don't even get me started on the "What the hell?" |
moments, here are a few: Killer can move at the speed of light--door opens actress turns, no one is there, turns back, there is something sitting in front of her. |
Out of now where The killer shows up with a power drill, a really big one! |
The filmmakers get points for at least plugging it in, but can I really believe that the killer took the time to find the power outlet to plug it in. |
I feel like one of the guards at the beginning of Holy Grail and want to say "Where'd you get the power drill?" |
I could go on and on about how bad this film is but I only have 1000 words. |
I will give this 2 out of ten stars. |
One star for making me laugh and another star for all the cleavage. |
Seriously, do not waste your time with this one. |
In an attempt to bring back the teen slasher genre that was taken away by spoofs like Scary Movie and Shriek if you know what I did last Friday the 13th, Valentine fails. |
Why did people like Halloween? |
Because it was original, new and went beyond anything that's ever been done. |
Why did they like Scream? |
Because at least it made sense. |
Valentine is just a stupid slasher-flick that has hardly any gore what so-ever. |
The plot is so similar to Halloween and Urban Legend it's not funny. |
And the moment the killer comes on screen, you know who it is, it's just sssssssssssooooooooooooo predictable. |
The teen slasher genre is DEAD Get over it! |

Firstly, there are some good things about this film, but it's all cliche slasher stuff combined with a teen movie. |
In the advertising of this movie, that I've seen, a large emphasis was on the fact that Denise Richards is in it, but she's a poor actress, and not as good looking as people try to make her out to be (not that that has anything to do with the movie). |
And what's with that look she gives everyone? |
Perhaps it's part of the character, but like I said, the acting... |
Still, the writing is fine. |
You know who it is all throughout the movie, and you can almost predict what is about to happen, but not in an irritating way. |
I think the book it's based on is probably good, judging by the plot line, but next time I'll read the book to find out rather than watch this. |
This stalk and slash turkey manages to bring nothing new to an increasingly stale genre. |
A masked killer stalks young, pert girls and slaughters them in a variety of gruesome ways, none of which are particularly inventive. |
It's not scary, it's not clever, and it's not funny. |
So what was the point of it? |
Valentine is a horrible movie. |
This is what I thought of it: Acting: Very bad. |
Katherine Heigl can not act. |
The other's weren't much better. |
Story: The story was okay, but it could have been more developed. |
This movie had the potential to be a great movie, but it failed. |
Music: Yes, some of the music was pretty cool. |
Originality: Not very original. |
The name `Paige Prescott' Recognize Prescott? |
Bottom Line: Don't see Valentine. |
It's a really stupid movie. |
1/10 |
This movie was rented by a friend. |
Her choice is normally good. |
I read the cover first and was expecting a good movie. |
Although it was a horror movie. |
Which i don't prefer. |
But no horror came to mind while watching the movie. |
It was a dull, not very entertaining movie. |
