American horror-comedy with a romantic twist, Heart Eyes will be streaming on Paramount+ starting February 14, 2026. Directed by Josh Ruben and penned by Phillip Murphy and Christopher Landon, the film stars Olivia Holt, Mason Gooding, and Jordana Brewster in a story that subverts the typical slasher tropes by blending them with elements of romantic comedy. After a brief VOD release in summer 2025, the movie runs for 1 hour and 37 minutes.
The story kicks off on Valentine’s Night. Two colleagues, stuck working late, find themselves alone in a tense city already on edge. Mistaken for a couple, they become the target of a serial killer operating in Seattle, who specifically targets lovers.
Forced to spend the year's most romantic night on the run to survive, the two protagonists must navigate constant threats, misunderstandings, and an enforced proximity. What begins as a frantic escape gradually transforms into a dangerous game where fear, irony, and attraction become tangled threads.
With Heart Eyes, Josh Ruben continues to explore a hybrid genre cinema, blending horror with humor and a touch of irony. The film deliberately plays with classic slasher tropes — masked killer, looming threat, a town in fear — while twisting them through a romantic narrative built on misunderstandings and an awkward, forced connection.
The tone caters to fans of offbeat genre films who enjoy blends of comedy, horror, and romance. In the spirit of productions that playfully subvert traditional horror tropes, Heart Eyes is a lively, fast-paced entertainment designed for special screening events around Valentine’s Day.
