When I first saw the trailer for “Heart Eyes,” I wasn’t all that intrigued. Admittedly the trailer doesn’t really do the movie justice and it looked like a generic slasher with a healthy dose of romance. But after seeing it in theaters on Valentine’s Day, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a genuinely fun watch that works any time of the year.
Now that it’s streaming on PVOD services like Amazon and Apple TV, it’s a fitting time to talk about why this movie was such a surprise for me. I’m a huge horror fan so I typically have high expectations when watching movies in the genre, but “Heart Eyes” managed to exceed them and has easily earned a spot on my favorite movies of 2025 list.
