Valentine

Jamie Blanks, who hit a major payday with URBAN LEGEND, goes back to the horror well with this firm tongue-in-cheek send up of the "romantic holiday". David Boreanaz, Denise Richards and Katherine Heigl, amoungst others, are the beautiful people/lambs up for slaughter in this interesting piece of work. Great visuals, good use of suspense tactics and a sharp look at spped/computer dating all make this a slight cut above the average offerings in the genre but I have to say why make a slasher film if you ain't gonna show the splat....kind of defeats the purpose dontcha think.
