Critics 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.

Jamie Blanks' Valentine has aged rather well. A movie I didn't care for at the time of its release, I now see a lot more of merit in this slasher than I did back in 2001.

Rated: 2.5/4

Chicago Reader

The contradictory sexual politics in this lightweight slasher suggest that at some point it was meant to satirize the traditional mores of the self-satisfied female characters.

Rue Morgue Magazine

Unlike the charmingly 90s Urban Legend, Jamie Blanks’ follow-up was late to the party, running on the previous decade’s creative fumes.

Gone With The Twins

The frequent jump-scares and the various women spontaneously finding themselves in ill-lit, isolated locations prove to be only middlingly creative.

Rated: 3/10

Film Frenzy

There's a final twist that doesn't make sense on any of about 10,000 levels.

Fine 00s aesthetic throwback. The film is fairly predictable and suffers from weak, fairly lazy writing and bad characters we’re supposed to care about. Denise Richards is good of course as is the special makeup department as there’s a few decent kills.

There's better valentine themed horror films out there and this is not one of them.

Cupid, aim that arrow somewhere else because this is a love that won't ever be. Valentine isn't even a decent slasher; it's just bad, and mostly boring.

Valentine tries to copy the formula of the early aughts Slasher flick genre a la Scream, but falls so flat, it pancakes. This movie is nonsensical at best. Character development is something that does not exist here. Do yourself a favor and miss this one.
