Average Rating:3.1/10

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.

Simply mines the same tired, predictable slasher-movie vein.

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

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

Credibility and intelligence are pretty thoroughly battered.

Rehashes the horror genre in an unoriginal and uninvolving way that simply marks its time and body count until the muddled and silly ending.

Banks entirely on the low standards of typical slasher movie fans.

Thrills are utterly lacking in the film.

When the big revelations come at the end, they certainly rate an eleven on a Prepostero-Meter with a scale of ten.
