Load of rubbish!!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Blistering performances.

Four young women searching for the perfect man, with Valentine's Day right around the corner. But unlike the past, this one wouldn't be a dream come true. This one would be a nightmare. Valentine's Day is a day of love, or is it? Not to a cupid masked killer. Roses are red, violets are blue, they'll need dental records to identify you. Valentine (2001) ensembles a cast that is very easy on the eyes. Katherine Heigl (Shelley Fisher), David Boreanaz (Adam Carr), Denise Richards (Paige Prescott), Marley Shelton (Kate Davies), Jessica Capshaw (Dorothy Wheeler), and Jessica Cauffiel as Lily Voight. Valentine is not your average horror movie, in fact it was originally to be a dark thriller until Warner Brothers wanted it to be a slasher. Valentine is shot beautifully and almost in a lush way, stylish and expertly structured. Directed by Jamie Blanks who also directed Urban Legend (1998.) While many critics thought Valentine was just another post Scream slasher, I disagree. Valentine is more like a horror movie from previous decades than early 2000s, which is probably why it got bad reviews. It's far from a Scream ripoff as some critics said. It has heavy character development unlike many horror movies. I have watched it many times and it remains a favorite. The acting is very good- sadly many people don't appreciate it for what it is. It almost has a comedic sense about it and the situations throughout. It leaves you on your seat. This is what makes Valentine unique. It has a lot of hate that makes no sense. I wish they'd mass produced the cupid mask, as you wouldn't expect a sweet cupid doing all of these evil deeds. It would've made a killer Halloween costume.. Valentine is definitely worth a watch. Love hurts.

There's one in every school, that boy or girl with thick lenses in their nerdy glasses and always staring like some pervert, acting all religious or obsessed with video games, maybe even concealing their love interest. Remember Carrie (1976), Sleepaway Camp (1983) and The Pit (1981)? Well, this freaky little 2001 slasher has an antagonist equally as nerdy, a boy named Jeremy. When he was a kid, a fat girl kissing him framed when she was caught by the popular boys, claiming that Jeremy tried to rape her when he didn't. Years later, Fatty Dorothy is nothing like she was before, and she and her snobby group of friends have forgotten Jeremy. Unknown to them, somebody wants the entire group dead.Why does Valentine have such poor ratings? Well, it certainly doesn't compare to classics like Sleepaway Camp or My Bloody Valentine (1981). That being said, Valentine is a pretty good slasher film for its time. I can't say I liked the awful 21st century soundtrack but the acting was pretty good and the film managed to be entertaining the entire way through. It definitely beats movies that came out later on the next year like Death Factory and Resident Evil (2002). I'm not saying you'll want to add it to your list of favorite horror films, but give it a chance.

a twelve years old slasher movie but i do still enjoy watching valentine. I like slasher movie, specially from the 70's and 80's and i got everything i expect to see from a slasher movie in Valentine; 1. Murders as a revenge for an incident happened in the past. 2. Serial Killer with distinctive appearance. The Killer's sturdy stature in black attire and cupid's mask is a brilliant in my opinion. 3. The weird Valentine presents and card given by the killers might be reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine (1981). But it helps creating the suspense of the film. 4. decent hide and chase scenes. so far my favorites are both Ruthie and Shelley's murder scene. 5. Revealing moment of the killer's true identity.Perhaps people who dislike Valentine originally browse for a horror movie with malevolent supra natural beings or haunted house in their mind, they find the wrong list in either internet or magazine, stumble upon Valentine, and ended up being disappointed...

Come On this movie is ridiculous. The whole plot is a kid gets rejected by these girls who don't want to dance with them and when he finds someone to dance with when other kids catch them making out she calls him a pervert and gets beaten over it.Thirteen years later these women are being killed off one by one by the kid who they don't want him to dance. A lesson I hope to teach people like this (if there are any) DON'T GET BEATEN UP BY SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU WERE JUST A KID.The twist gave me my overall rating (which it would've been a 5) David Boreanaz being the killer when a few minutes earlier he shoots someone repeatedly wearing the exact clothes he was wearing he pulls off the mask and it's one of their friends would be better because the killer was in her house and somehow managed to get passed workers there.Back to earlier in the movie Denise Richards' character annoyed the ####ing crap outta me the only character out of the women there who were even close to descent was Marley Shelton's character and that's not saying much.How come in all these slasher type movies the killer dresses the same as other slasher killers they always wear black and a mask I can't see anyone wanting to wear.Before we get to the good points in this movie If you want a good David Boreanaz Movie I suggest The Crow Wicked Prayer Or If you want a TV show thats better try the Buffyverse ones...If you want another good Denise Richards Movie (Don't Laugh) I suggest Drop Dead Gorgeous (That film has still got me puzzled as to why I like it).The Good points are that it teaches guys how not to act on a date, it is at least better than the typical slasher movie, it also has a good cast especially being that it has my all-time favorite actor in it, I also think that besides the bad points this movie is entertaining & at one point I did laugh at a joke:"Adam Carr: I'm sorry that I couldn't make it to the art show.Kate Davies: Don't worry, you didn't miss much. Just Dorothy's boyfriend getting attacked by some crazy woman and some really bad art. I mean, the stuff was basically porn!Adam Carr: (smiling) It sounds okay."& I also laughed at a (What I call) smack moment where Benita Ha's character remarks "you have a sex life?" & Dorothy replies "well I at least don't charge by the hour like you" which was well thought out. All in all It was not unbearable but it could've been so much better!
