Summary: WELL, HERE WE GO AGAIN
Review: JUST WHAT THE WORLD NEEDED, ANOTHER SCREAM-TYPE HORROR MOVIE. A MISTREATED BOY GROWS UP TO BE A SERIAL KILLER. JUST YOUR AVERAGE TEENAGE HORROR FLICK. HAS SOME OK MURDER SEQUENCES, BUT IT LACKS SUBSTANCE. DENISE RICHARDS IS GOOD FOR EYE CANDY BUT SHE CAN'T HELP SAVE THIS CLICHE'S HORROR MOVIE. IF YOU WANNA SEE THE AVERAGE MASKED MAN GOES ON A KILLING SPREE MOVIE, THEN THIS ONE JUST MIGHT APPEAL TO YOU.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nothing too special
Review: Ya know it's sad. I was that kid on Valentine's day everyone, even like my best friend ignored. Hence why it was called Singles awareness day. And to be honest, I didn't even give a rat's (censored to be allowed online... please webmasters, we love you) about this movie. I mean Denise is a little hottie who married stupidly, much like Catherine Zeta Jones, and the rest are people I didn't know about.

Then i started watching Angel.

Let's face it, this movie would have been idiotic if it wasn't for Borenaz. Look at all the other reviews, the biggest shout outs over and over go to David. So I'm going to go with the crowd. The movie is a slasher film that shows how cruel highschool and beautiful women can be. But in the end, it was actually pretty funny... all because of Angel lol.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disposable
Review: 'Valentine' gets firmly lumped into the post-'Scream' series of horror movie clichés.

Like the 'Urban Legend', and 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' movies, 'Valentine' isn't by any stretch the worst movie I've ever seen, but creatively, it leaves a LOT to be desired.

Just as it's predecessors, 'Valentine' is an ultimately-unfulfilling clone that's only to be viewed on basic cable or the WB network. You'd kick yourself for buying it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: in the tradition of other slasher flicks, not the worst
Review: its not the worst of the slasher flicks but it lages in its wooden characters and its dumb twists and turns, though the end with Boreanaz is great, a must see for fans of Boreanaz

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great
Review: i loved it very cool and scary you will love it

Summary: Better than Urban Legend, that's for sure
Review: You know, it's hard not to like this film at least somewhat. You have to give this film's ambition credit. Following in Scream's footsteps, this film aspires to be part of the whole teen horror flick craze, I just think it came a bit late. I think since I saw Urban Legend a few years back, I realized that this trendy type of formulaic teen horror flick was on its way out finally. Since movies like Urban Legend, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, The Faculty, and Final Destination came out, people no longer have faith or interest in this type of horror film anymore and that is why this film was mostly overlooked. Although this film is better than most of those films I just mentioned, it still kind of falls short, although it did provide some entertainment value. Sometimes I did feel like I was watching Scream 2 and I noticed that some the opening shots of some scenes were heavily reminiscent of Craven. Altogether, not a bad film. I admire the film's aspirations more than anything, but I think this film belongs in 1997 where it could have wetted our thirst for more teen horror flicks more successfully.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sweet Revenge
Review: This movie is all about revenge. Its scary from beginning to end!!! Its about these 5 girls who made fun of this boy, Jeremy Melton in the 6th grade. In addition, they all wouldn't dance with him. Well, 13 years later he comes back and kills all of them, except for 1. See this one girl said to him at the dance in 6th grade, that she would maybe dance with him later. And also, she didnt really make fun of him. The ending at this movie is great!!! It has a twist of confusion and suspense!!! Jamie Blanks is a graet director! He delivers suspense in all of his movies!!! Even though he only directed three. Two of his movies are horrors, which are "Urban Legend" and "Valentine" The other movies which was his first is a musical. Well both of his movie have like a real story to them. Like Urban Legend. In Urban Legend the killer is making all the murders based on Urban Legends. And in this one Valentine. This is about geek who comes back 13 years later, and got plastic surgery and worked out. And he kills all the girls who were mean to him!!! This movie is also good because almost at the end, when 3 of the girls were killed, except for Dorothy and Kate who is the one who said that she would maybe dance with him later back in 6th grade. And well, he asks Kate to dance with him. She accepts even though shes scared because everyone is missing, one of her friends are dead, someone keeps on sending all of the girls threathing cards, the detective who was suppose to come to the party is dead, and there is still a killer on the loose. Also, because he is drunk. And he gets scary when hes drunk. So, that scene just gives you a chill. And you just say to yourself that was a clever scene. This movie has alot of clever scenes, and i think its original. And its not like a teen movie. Its like a revenge movie. Just like 1978's "I spit on your grave" Which is about a woman who was raped by four men in the woods. And she stalks down the four men and kills them. This movie Valentine is a clever thriller, which will keep you on the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end!!! Also this mvoie delivers a great cast!!! Especially that one of them is Steven Speilberg's stepdaughter!!! A MUST-SEE!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Return to Sender. Unopened.
Review: "Valentine" is a toothless, vapid rehash of the slasher flick, done straightfaced with zero irony or chills. It's beautifully shot and well-produced, but, Lord, is it boring. Ripping off "Scream," "Friday the 13th," "Carrie," and at least a half-dozen other horror films, it doesn't stray far from what we've seen before. Someone, somewhere, was convinced that Denise Richards can act, but her blank performance says otherwise. Ditto the wonderfully bland David Boreanaz, whose screen presence has all the flavor of rice cakes. Despite the well-staged slashings and so-called surprise ending, "Valentine" is much ado about nuttin'. Return this baby to sender.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie
Review: Valentine is about 5 friends (all girls) who went to junior high together. 1 of them are killed off short into the movie. the rest of them are being stalked by a killer. why? something they did in junior high, the past comes back...
All around scary and entertaining.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: its no classic
Review: its just a fun horror movie about an unpopular kid who comes back and seeks revenge on the girls who turned him down in middle school.now hes back for revenge! wearing a cherub mask! the kid had a traumatic experience at the valentines middle school dance and got beat up and the girls turned him down so hes back for revenge 15 yrs later to kill all the girls who wouldnt be his valentine. 15 yrs later and all grown up the girls start getting strange and threatening valentines and are trying to figure out who sent them and who would want to do this to them. the ending was a little strange and i didnt understand what or who really did it at first but its an ok movie , its fun to watch but no horror classic. its good to watch and have a good laugh.maybe you should rent it before you decide to buy this , its ok.
