This is a quality slasher movie...


I really don't understand how this film has rating below 5.0 when its an effectively well made slasher? The cast is great, the story is creepy and the "kills" are well executed due to the high budget. So... why did everyone hate this movie? It's quite entertaining

I have seen this movie many times and it is and will always be, one of my favorites. I love the entire cast, they do a great job IMO. Sad to see so many hate on it. Really hoping it gets a bluray release sometime soon. Katherine Heigl and David Boreanaz are my two favs in this.

I love Katherine Heigl!

Actually, I've seen the magazine article that "fact" is talking about and that's not what she's saying AT ALL. It was a list of her best to worst work (magazines have a tendency of stretching stuff) What she is saying is she didn't read the whole script and the movie was gruesome. (exact words) However she said she did have a great time filming and Jamie Blanks really knew his stuff. I have several online interviews of her talking about it and everything was positive :) She was only on set for 3 days due to working on Roswell at the same time.

I also tried to get that fact a while back changed but the request was denied

I love this movie, I never really got all the hate surrounding it. I think it's a pretty good slasher & story line too, especially when you look at the fact that the majority of movies coming out after this were mostly remakes, etc. I still watch this routinely though lol

I don't know what makes me laugh more, the OP's statement or yours.

Valentine is one of the worst, weakest, dumbest slashers I've ever seen.

It's rubbish. A total failure as a scary movie - which is actually OK because I don't like scary movies. I picked up a cheap copy because of the cast and I was misled by the picture on the box to expect something different. To be honest it's so bad I thought I was watching an intentional spoof for most of the time. Basically it's a horrible waste of a telegenic cast and I want my 95 minutes back.
