What to Know

Critics Consensus

Valentine is basically a formulaic throwback to conventional pre-Scream slasher flicks, which 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. Go to Full Review Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader 02/28/2007
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. Go to Full Review Liam Lacey Globe and Mail 04/25/2003

In the new teen slasher flick Valentine, a public-school nerd, now grown up, seeks to systematically murder all the girls who wouldn't dance with him at the Grade 6 Valentine's dance. Or maybe that's not what happens. It s hard to tell. Go to Full Review Josh Winning Radio Times Mar 4
2/5
Australian director Jamie Blanks (Urban Legend) assembles a love letter to 80s slashers, but the result is a film that feels closest to the more superficial movies of that era. Go to Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Rue Morgue Magazine 07/03/2024
Unlike the charmingly 90s Urban Legend, Jamie Blanks’ follow-up was late to the party, running on the previous decade’s creative fumes. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 09/22/2022
3/10
The frequent jump-scares and the various women spontaneously finding themselves in ill-lit, isolated locations prove to be only middlingly creative. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Damien S @Damien197384 1d Well, it’s a slow paste slasher movie that doesn’t really take itself seriously and the kills are pretty dull See more Douglas E @RT50442544 Jun 13 I had already seen it, but I didn't remember it. It's a good time-killer for fans of the genre. The 2000s produced some good slasher films. See more love H. @horrorfan123 Jun 12 A classic amazing slasher. See more David B @Rayskins Feb 17 Not bad, but nothing special. See more Deontae D @Deontae301 Feb 15 A decent Valentine's Day slasher film, The mask of the killer looks cool too, It looks like it tried to be like Halloween a little. See more J C @J4242 Feb 15 Although not as good as slasher films at the time it still stands strong in 2026. Overall good, but not the best. Also happy to have figured out the killer minutes before it was revealed Also, I wouldn't be surprised if we never saw Denise Richards again See more Read all reviews
