Summary: Nice but a bit deceiving
Review: Let's make it clear from the start, the only reason I bought this movie was for David Boreanaz.. and he's barely seen during the movie except in the last scenes.The girls are pretty and slutty and I felt no sympathy whatsoever for any of them. Denise Richards should stick to modeling. The first scene in the morgue is a bit silly, I mean, *please* what kind of med student works alone at night, in a barely lit room ? And who on earth hides in a body bag ?? That's what I liked less about this movie, it's just not believable at all. It reminds me of "Fear" a bit (if you haven't seen it, it's the kind of horror movie when you're laughing from the first scene to the last while you're supposed to be scared because it's just so silly and unbelievable). I'm not sure I even know who the killer is..was.. were ??

Summary: Best horror fick ever you`d have to be dumb otherwise!
Review: This is so scary and jumpy it`s the best horror/thriller ever made.
There is a triple twist ending at the end which rocks!
The deaths are (most)brand new not all are gory but this is the only horror film I have ever seen where I had my hands over my eyes.
I watch all the horror movies and anyone who doesn`t like this movie obviously doesn`t understand it.
The atmosphere is scary all the time you will jump, scream and definitly don`t watch it alone.
And be careful watching it with your VALENTINE!
CHECK THIS OUT!!!!
YOU WON`T BE SORRY!

Summary: Underrated, if slightly formulaic, horror fare.
Review: "Valentine" (2001) This is a typical teen slasher movie. It delivers where it counts, makes us jump out of our seats on the occasional bump in the score, has girls with big breasts that never care to show them, and overall its one of those movies with the 1 dimensional characters and endless amounts of blood and guts, but, hey, that's what I expected. Don't expect too much with Valentine and you'll probably find it fun enough. I know I did. The best thing about Valentine is that it takes on a daring new premise and is able to succeed in making us scared quite a lot at times and provides tension and suspense in the atmosphere, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Valentine actually had my muscles very tensed at times and I found a couple of killing sequences right near the end particularly suspenseful. The killings are also very creative and gory, and the camera-tricks used when the killings are been shot are very attractive and impressive, and add to the atmosphere of the movie. Valentine's acting is not exactly superior to other teen slashers such as the Scream series or I Know What You Did Last Summer, and we don't care for the characters an inch because they aren't developed, but storyline and characters aren't exactly a big thing with slasher films. Valentine doesn't actually have bad acting; it just could've been improved. Denise Richards plays the typical sexy bad girl, and does it well, although it would be nice to see her try something different. She looks good in a bathing suit, though. David Boreanaz has a lot of on-screen charisma but he doesn't have enough screen time. Marley Shelton is the head and shoulders of the movie, she is a fairly good horror actress, but unfortunately she can't anchor an entire film alone. I hate Jessica Cauffiel (from Urban Legends: Final Cut) and never will like her. She overacts horribly. Jessica Capshaw is probably the best actor in the film; she is one of the funniest characters and also one of the most emotional. Jamie Blanks has proven himself as a good teen horror movie director. He knows how to provide mystery, have good set-ups, direct his cast well, pick neat tools for killings, and overall he impressed me with this movie. His directing in Urban Legend was also impressive. I would actually like to see this director take on something a little more challenging, because he has quite a lot of potential and I don't want to see him stuck on teen slashers for the rest of his career. He just needs that script with more "oomph" and he'll be on the road. I do applaud him for always bringing new life to the teen horror genre; first he makes legends scary, and now its Valentine's Day. Who'd of thought? I enjoyed this movie. Sure, it had plot holes, some of the deaths are too fast, the characters aren't developed and we don't care for them that much (it's not like I wanted all of them to die, just some of them, but I was keen to see who would survive) and there is zero nudity. Not exactly the best flaws for a for a teen horror. Alas, the slick style, incredibly clever ending (especially for this genre) neat killings, fun premise, fantastic ideas and concepts, cool editing and camera tricks and an awesome atmosphere throughout kept Valentine on its toes for me. Or maybe it's just because I saw it on Valentine's Day. MY GRADE: B

Summary: Please!!... Begging you not to waste your money.....
Review: ...I just finished watching this tragedy of a flick with my sis.. I rarely write reviews and usually they are all goodness and light, recommending a particularly good product. Sorry to say not so in this case, this movie is proof positive that having slick casting, beautiful sets, and a great premise for a killer are not necessarily enough to make a good slasher flick. This film which based on the previews I saw of it looked like another take off on the Scream idea of witty and really well written horror flicks, comes nowhere near its potential. First of all starting off you have very little empathy with any of the victims; everybody that gets killed deserves it, in spades. (I am not even sure why the one girl survived other than the fact that her character was perhaps the least scummy of the group.)Which comes to point two, the acting in this movie was royally bad . To give you an idea how painful the acting was think of standing in the middle of a pile of razor sharp glass with no shoes on, then drill several screws under your thumbs for good measure.. (I know David Boreanaz can do better than this so I was generally dissapointed.) Point three too much was going on, you didn't get to know any of the characters well at all this sorta goes back to the empathy part except that even most of the shallow characters in this film were cardboard cutouts with no depth at all.( Only Dorthy really seemed to be fleshed out really well and she majorly deserved what she got in the end.) Point four The killer really didn't mess around with his victims much, he tended to kill them simple and straight foward there was no suspense only inevatability. Final point it was pretty easy to figure out who the killer was in fact it was so stupidly easy that it slightly shocks you that at the end. Not a good kind of shock by the way , nope this was the shock of the person who has been kicked in the teeth. You will be saying to yourself "That was it? You gotta be kidding me ..." Well I have said all I am going to say about that. Buyer beware if you are looking for a good movie steer clear. (Those who are looking for a new movie to add to their B movie collection this will fit right in.)

Summary: NOT creative
Review: I still can't believe that Jamie Blanks (the director of Urban Legend) directed this movie!!! This movie failed in every element to provide a scary movie. The first weak element was the directing. The second weak element was the plot. The story did not deliver anything new. It was a big failure, because it was just a bad mimic for the best scary movies Halloween, Scream, Urban Legend & I know What You Did Last Summer. The third weak element was that everything was very much predictable, even the ending too was weak & predicatable. The fourth weak element was the lack of suspense. Of course when the directing, plot & events are weak how can there be suspense?!! Simply this movie was not creative at all. I'd recommend "Jeepers Creepers" instead.

Summary: Strangles the life out of teen slashers...
Review: Ok, I am the first to defend any number of brainless, unoriginal slasher movies, and will continue to do so in the future, but I consistently trash this movie. The writers somehow managed to take one of the most intelligent, clever, and suspenseful mystery novels of the 90s, and sully it's good name. A sexy, twisty, adult-centered carnival of revenge is transformed into the lowest of predictable, uninteresting dreck. PLEASE, read the book by Tom Savage, whether you liked this movie or hated it, the book delivers the goods, and then some..the movie will bore you like a phallic power drill. Even purely on it's own terms, this film managed to be a thrill-less piece of trash; this coming from an 80s slasher devotee.

Summary: Love can be so bitter sweet!
Review: As a horror fan I've seen all the teenage horror's out there and thought Valentine would be a great addition to the genre - and it is. The story starts off in the past and then shoots into the present day. We already have a slice of what happened to provoke the killer...but we have no idea who it is.
Using a topic such as love can be a really good basis for a movie, especially a horror. In this movie we are faced with the power love has on people...love can kill.
4 women who ignored a boy in high school are now faced by a killer, a killer who is unknown, a killer who definately knows them and wants them dead. The cast really works well. Denise Richards as the one who loves men and romance - will her love of men lead her into murky waters? David Boreanaz as the ever so cute Adam Carr. Are his charms a way of covering up something or will he end up dead before Valentines day is over? Marley Shelton as the sweet as candy Kate. She has the perfect boyfriend - or does she? Valentine is a clever and thrilling addition to the horror genre.

Summary: Not Scary. Not fun. Not worth it.
Review: This is one of the most boring films I have ever seen. The "scares" are lame bursts of loud music trying to make you jump. The guy who directed Urban Legend made this movie, which is really the big suprise here. That was a fun movie; this one is so awful I can't believe it got made. Even the otherwise good actress Denise Richards is dull here. The book this film was adapted from was excellent; it gets so twisted out of shape here it is shameful. I can't believe how many movie fans say "this was a good movie, just ignore the reviews." Besides a halfway decent first five minutes, I can't not recommend this movie enough; whatever you do, avoid Valentine at all costs.

Summary: Good kills, great end but, what about the plot????
Review: Great things here: Denise Richards, Marley Shelton, Blood, great music and great kills,
The plot is so stupid, that it's even bad for a slasher film.
And it's a little boring too, it gets good only when it ends.
Denise Richard, AHH!, such a lovely girl, but such a bad actrees.
She only use two facial exoresions in the film, she [stinks]!!!!
But, like i say in all my horror/slashers reviews.If you like this genre, you'll love this film.

Summary: Roses are red, violets are blue. Watch out, I'm watching you
Review: This is a refreshing, if somewhat bleak, entry into the plethora of late nineties pop/horror movie things. This movie is a revenge tale with a seethrough double-twist at the end. It is seemingly a movie about a young man who was heart broken by shoddy treatment received from some popular girls at a school dance and so decides to kill all of them years later. He is really peeved however at Dorothy who claimed that he had been sexually harrassing her when 3 bullies saw them making out underneath the school bleachers. This lie led to the boy being thrown into Juvey. He ends up pinning all the murders on her at the film's end, elevating the film above the level of a lot of other late nineties slashers. The mystery of Who the killer is will never really get off the ground for anyone who's ever sat through an episode of Angel and would recognise David Boreanz's way of walking, but this takes little away from the film. The selfishness of his quarry is viciously exposed and you find it pretty hard to feel sorry for any of them, particularly the brutal Dorothy. No one sees these films for the acting so I'll merely mention it in passing. Kate Capshaw is solid as Dorothy, Boreanz is on the whole invisible, but has the obvious menace that comes with playing an uncompromising crime fighting vampire on TV for 2 years. Denise Richards doesn't really act, she just says a few lines and tries to look seductive. Anyone who finds her attractive would like her death scene. The main female character in the story is very easy to look at and isn't annoying in the least. Genre fans will hate it. 80's slasher fans might like it. I thought it was a solid entry into a highly forgettable genre.
