Critic Reviews

  • Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader

    The contradictory sexual politics in this lightweight slasher suggest that at some point it was meant to satirize the traditional mores of the self-satisfied female characters.

  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

    In the new teen slasher flick Valentine, a public-school nerd, now grown up, seeks to systematically murder all the girls who wouldn't dance with him at the Grade 6 Valentine's dance. Or maybe that's not what happens. It ís hard to tell.

  • , Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    A cheesy horror flick that doesn't take itself too seriously.

  • Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

    I had fun anyway.

  • Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

    Valentine isn't scary, but it is unsettling; not ultimately satisfying, but arresting in the moment.

    Valentine is one of the better films in the teen horror genres, yeah I know. Even though the film is a better take on a tired genre in horror, it doesn't necessarily mean thats its a good film, far from it. The actors are terrible, and the script is lacking in effective scares,… More

    Pathetically awful in every way. As a slasher, it is devoid of any gruesome, original or uncomfortable death scenes. They are just so plain and ordinary. The kills are also few and far between and some of them are thrown in for no reason. The identity of the killer is so obvious they… More

    Trashy horror saved by the fact that it knows it is trashy and has a decent cast. I quite liked it.

  • Lorenzo v


    It is the late 1980's. At a high school dance, young nerdish-looking Jeremy Melton is spurned & insulted by every girl he asks to dance, except one named Dorothy. Later they start making out under the bleachers until a group of bullies discover them, and Dorothy says Jeremy… More
