Heart Eyes is a 2025 American comedy-horror film directed by Josh Ruben, blending Valentine's Day slasher thrills with sharp workplace humor. Set against the romantic chaos of Seattle on February 14th, the film follows two reluctant co-workers who become accidental targets of a serial killer with a very specific type.

What is Heart Eyes about?

Seattle is on edge as Valentine's Day approaches — a serial killer known as the Heart Eyes Killer has been preying exclusively on couples, leaving a trail of gruesome crime scenes across the city. Two colleagues, stuck together through an unlucky stretch of after-hours overtime, find themselves in the killer's sights when they are mistaken for a romantic pair. With no real relationship and nowhere safe to run, they spend the most dangerous night of the year dodging both the killer and the awkward tension of being forced into close quarters. What begins as a deeply inconvenient work situation escalates into a desperate survival story wrapped in dark comedy and genuine suspense.
