Rating: 
A gaudy Cupid slasher with a serious case of post-Scream syndrome, Valentine is all glossy babes, cartoon violence, and meta-winks without an original thought in its head. Denise Richards and company parade through a bargain-bin collection of slasher archetypes while a cherub-faced killer turns Valentine’s Day into a bloody little love fest. Jamie Blanks occasionally goes full giallo with some lurid murder imagery, but the movie surrounding those moments is painfully flat. The mystery is a mile away, the characters are plastic, and the whole thing feels like stale candy hearts dipped in Scream leftovers.
