Summary: Fairly good slasher flick
Review: There have been audiences for horror films for generations. In the 1930s Dracula and Frankenstein were so popular they spawned sequels, which were rarities in those days. Valentine's origins don't go back that far. They date to the 1970s, when cheaply produced movies like Friday the 13th and Halloween were making producers rich. These were so called slasher flicks, in which cute and not very bright teenagers were done in by predatory fiends with unearthly powers. Valentine's characters are a bit older, but they are also cute and rather dimwitted. As movies in general go, it isn't that good, but judged within the horror genre, which has fallen on hard times lately, it's decent enough. The movie starts in a school gymnasium where a group of sixth graders are attending a dance. The class geek asks several girls to dance with him and is quite rudely rejected. Later, a much less attractive girl agrees to dance with him. They wind up smooching under the bleachers. A rowdy group of boys catches them, and when the frightened girl says the geek attacked her, they beat him up. The poor kid winds up being sent to reform school. [Horror buffs already know where all this is headed.] Thirteen years later, we find out that the girls involved in the incident have grown up to be best friends. Life is good, and all of them have bright futures. Or they think they do. Someone, however, has held an awesome grudge all these years and is out for murderous revenge. Is it the boy or is it someone you'd least suspect? The movie does a reasonably good job of keeping us guessing until the very end. That ending is not nearly as clever or as logical as the movie's makers hoped it would be, but it's no sillier than others in films of its type. The cast is somewhat above par for this sort of thing. The most interesting performance is given by Jessica Capshaw, whose mother, Kate, is Mrs. Steven Spielburg. It's a bit unsettling to see Denise Richards in yet another horror flick. She's proved several times she can do better career-wise. Director Jamie Banks, who also did Urban Legends, keeps the action moving at a brisk pace and provides a reasonable amount of jolting moments. Much of the movie was filmed in someone's huge house in California. Its rather Gothic decor makes a suitable backdrop.

Summary: The best slasher flick so far
Review: When Valentine just came out, it was rated 18 A, so I couldn't see it. But then, when it came out on Videos. It was rated PG. So, I bought it.
It was a really good slasher flick. The killings were brutal. But the ending kept me thinking.
Watch it, if u can. Trust me, it's worth all of your money.

Summary: Be his Valentine
Review: Starring Denise Richards (The World is Not Enough) and David Boreanaz (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), put on quite a show in this romantic horror tale. A boy after being teased in junior high school and not being attracted to any girl is set out on a murder spree after 7 years. He is determined to make sure every girl pays for what he has suffered. Although throughout the story line no one is aware of whom the killer might be as these girls 'get around' many boys.
Quite twisting till the last few seconds of this flick. You will never guess who it is.

Summary: Underrated Slasher Film
Review: Valentine, starring David Boreanaz (TV's "Angel") and Denise Richards (Starship Troopers, The World Is Not Enough), is an underrated movie, even for one of its genre. Four young women named Kate, Dorothy, Lily, and Paige (Denise Richards) are shocked when they discover that their old junior high school friend Shelley has been murdered by persons unknown. As the days pass on, life becomes even more bizzare for the foursome when they start receiving threating Valentine's cards, and it's not long after that when the killer, who hides behind a mask displaying the image of a cherub, begins hunting each of them down. The question on each of their minds is: Who would want to kill them ? Is it someone unknown to them ? Someone close ? ...Or is it that little nerd they teased in junior high ? Although the final fifteen minutes are a bit of a letdown, this is more than made up for by the suspense set up by the mystery of the identity of the killer, as well as Denise Richards' commanding on-screen presence. For any fan of slaher films, this is a must-see.

Summary: Brutal slasher film with meandering plot
Review: Well, being a fan of genre slasher films, I decided to give this a test run. Not only was I disgusted at the simple-hack-'em-up plot (a la the two stars), but how it mercilessly rips off much better and more suspenseful horror flicks. "Valentine" is basically about a nerdy high-schooler who was beaten and humiliated at the junior high prom who gets sworn revenge against the five women who have rejected him twenty years after. A simple plot for sex, beautiful women and plenty of gore. "Valentine" has some good points about it. One is one of the bitchy girls, played by the always sexy Denise Richards, who enjoys chewing on the scenery and the wafer-thin dialogue, while David Boreanaz gives the movie a fresh look and feel, while still wearing his traditional "Angel" smile. The last good thing mentioning about this movie is that it has about some good moments of suspense that go along with its constantly meandering plot. Not enough for a five-star rating, but it's enough. "Valentine" is a dumb, brutal, merciless and predictable slasher film, only highlighted with some (only a few) moments of suspense and the enjoyable performances by Denise Richards and David Boreanaz. Rated R for strong violence and gore, sexuality and for language.

Summary: More of a suspense, less of a horror, its "stylish"
Review: This movie is just a new-age Friday the 13th, as five friends (led by Denise Richards) are haunted by their past from a killer wearing a cherub mask (like a hockey mask of Jason) that is slowly killing everyone. This movie has more than a dozen characters and they all have a reason to be the masked killer, so you constantly wonder who is the killer. This is less like a horror movie, and more like suspense, because you see the killer stalking the characters, but never any real gore (you know how they get killed, with a knife, axe, glass, drill, but you never see it happen). The movie is rather weak, and draws more around taboo subjects like cross dressing, tying up and wax fetishes to get across to the audience (also the fact that there are several beautiful women wearing tank tops, but no nudity). I hate having to say that, but this movie is just that bad. There are even funny mess-ups in the movie such as in one scene after someone was stabbed there is no blood on the knife!

Summary: OKAY...
Review: Horror films are not that popular anymore. But "Valentine" proved to be stylish and suspenseful. My favorite character was Lily (Jessica Cauffiel) because of her curly hair. Um, the movie wasn't predictable like other horror films. It got panned at the theaters (unfortunately), but not the less, I did actually enjoy it!

Summary: It's Time to Stop a Trend of "Young Stars in Horror Films"
Review: Many can be said about this dismally bad horror flick. It tries to do something unique, but in fact retread the old, battered road. It tries to imitate the chill of "Scream" and other post-modern horror movies, giving some surprise twists, but, no, it only irritates the audience. Think about this. Four girls are supposed to be threatened by a murderer stalking behind them. But none of them takes it seriously. Not a detective from the police, who instead would sexually harass Denise Richards. Many people around them (including very one of them) are suddenly missing, but they don't seem to worry about it. Ok, so they are such irresponsible, cold-blooded chicks who bullied one poor boy long time ago. But, then, why should we care about them? The whole premise is totally nonsense; at "a maze video party scene," guests that were swarming around the room suddenly are gone from the scene, and the killer can appear without being seen, even moving some objects and walls as it wishes, and finally desposes the body very automativally. On top of this risible development of situation, at another party scene, AGAIN, the people vanish while our heroine is taking a bath ALONE, and the killer chases its target ALONE, and hides the bodies wherever it wishes. No, no. Pick any great horror films in the past, and they all tell you that you cannot make a good, bone-chilling flick without paying attention to logics during the course of the entire film. "Valentine" never does. Consequently, scares come occasionally, but not with enough impact. As Denise Richards is gorgeous, I give two stars, but otherwise it is unbelievably bad. But what is also unbelievable is a fact that a major studio is involved in this project. Now it is scary.
