Consensus: Valentine is basically a formulaic throwback to conventional pre-Scream slasher flicks. Critics say it doesn't offer enough suspense or scares to justify its addition to the genre.

Runtime: 1 hr 36 mins

Genre: Horror/Suspense

Synopsis: Once a year, love is in the air and cards, letters, flowers and candy find their way to lovers' doors. But this year something different is coming... something not as pretty and definitely not as... Once a year, love is in the air and cards, letters, flowers and candy find their way to lovers' doors.

If you've hidden from the scary killer, don't leave your hiding place after less than a minute! Why do they do that?

It all ends with a mystery over the new identity of the killer, which is so hard to figure out that you'd have to be at least six years old.

The essential daftness isn’t helped by the stars, who play it straight when they should have gone for laughs.

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

It's not even so bad that it's good. It's just plain bad.

A WB teen melodrama with the lamest villain since the Gorton's Fisherman in I Know What You Did Last Summer.

The horror-thriller Valentine makes mistakes where its successful predecessors like Scream didn't, essentially revealing its antagonist in its casting.

Valentine isn't nearly as horrible as the ads would suggest. That's not to say the movie's good, either.

Even by the thoroughly undemanding standards of its burned-out genre, Valentine is vacuous, tedious, and perfunctory.

Not enough creative killings, not enough gore and not enough scariness.

Scary horror flicks went out with the emergence of the self-referential horror movie.

Looking good but lacking much in the way of personality or gray matter.
