You'd be forgiven for thinking this movie was made in the 80s, such is its relentlessly painful cheapness and laughable attempts to provide scares.
Valentine is a throw back to that era of slasher horror and it certainly needs throwing back. Denise Richards is a comical one, she really hasn't got much of a clue what's going on here, but then again none of the cast do, seemingly aware of the shet production they are involved in, but also apparently unbothered by this fact and willingly carry on anyway.
The kills are very uncreative and just pop out of nowhere having no impact and give no sense of rising tension or interest. I'm assuming they meant for this to be a comedy horror in the vain of Scream, but the script is very poor and as I say, the horror element is completely non existent. I don't really know why I've given it 3 stars, maybe it's because I get the feeling the makers of Happy Death Day - a successful slasher - borrowed a couple of ideas from this movie, perhaps.
