Heart Eyes OTT Release Date: Love, laughter¡ and murder? That¡¯s the twist this film brings to the screen - a Valentine¡¯s Day-themed rom-com with a sharp, slasher edge. After a theatrical release in February 2025 and a digital rollout in March, this quirky horror-romance is finally heading to a mega screening. Mark your calendars, Heart Eyes will be available to stream on Netflix starting May 8, 2025.
Directed by Josh Ruben (Scare Me, Werewolves Within), Heart Eyes turns the typical romantic comedy on its head by adding a serial killer into the mix. Set around Valentine¡¯s Day, the story follows the rise of a masked murderer known as the Heart Eyes Killer, who has been haunting the holiday for years by stalking and killing romantic couples.
This year, the horror continues¡ but not without a dose of romance and charm. At the centre of the chaos are Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding, who play an unlikely couple thrown together by fate and fear. What starts as a chance romantic spark quickly turns into a wild survival ride as they try to stay alive and, maybe, fall in love in the process.
This film brings together a solid cast including Olivia Holt (Cruel Summer, Kickin¡¯ It), Mason Gooding (Scream VI, Love, Victor), Gigi Zumbado, Jordana Brewster, and Devon Sawa, among others. Some reports suggest that Netflix streaming will be available only in the US, and if that happens, regions in Asia will get the film around May/June 2025, while other countries may have to wait up to a year or more.
While Heart Eyes didn¡¯t break records at the box office, it did quite well considering its $18 million budget, earning $33 million worldwide. What really helped the movie shine was word of mouth and strong critical reception. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a critic score of 81% and an audience score of 77%¡ªa clear sign that both horror fans and rom-com lovers found something to enjoy.
Over on IMDb, it sits at a 6.1/10, reflecting mixed but mostly positive reactions. Critics appreciated how the film embraced both genres without taking itself too seriously. As one reviewer put it: ¡°It¡¯s a rom-com that knows it¡¯s fighting for attention¡ªand it wins by having fun with itself.¡±
