Preview trailer and clip: "Heart Eyes"

This week's review goes up Friday

Here’s the logline from the studio: “For the past several years, the ‘Heart Eyes Killer’ has wreaked havoc on Valentine’s Day by stalking and murdering romantic couples. This Valentine’s Day, no couple is safe…”

And here’s co-screenwriter Phillip Murphy explaining how the movie originated with a bad date: “We had such great chemistry on a zoom call — and then, in person, nada. First dates are all about finding ways to connect, so I kept wondering what we could have done that would help us really see each other. It happened to be October so naturally I was watching a lot of horror movies and kept coming back to one thing: Maybe if a masked killer had been chasing us, that would have brought us together.”

Warning: This trailer is for a film “rated R by the Motion Picture Association for strong violence and gore….” They ain’t kidding.

And the clip….
