VALENTINE (2001) - Fiction Addiction

SUPPORT ME ON PATREON: / fictionaddiction
The ever-notorious love celebration that is Valentine's Day is creeping up on us all once again, ready to make or break any couple it can get near... much like a vicious, Cupid-masked killer is stalking and slashing his ways through the girls that broke his heart when he was a child in this 2001 kill-fest. Question is: who should we even be rooting for here?

I love how this turned into a PSA about bullying and consent. My favourite things, horror and being a decent, respectful human being.

[@geekoborabora]

Kudos for the out-of-nowhere "Safe, Sane, Consensual" mention. After 50 shades more people need to be reminded of those.

[@jasoncustomizer56]

That was a great review as always Esh! I can't believe how you were bullied and I'm gonna give a virtual hug.

[@DrGregoryHouseIT]

Ugh, this movie. It was full of unlikeable characters I wanted the killer to slaughter. Awesome review.

[@CryWolf-sm9iw]

Yeah I’m not eating candy left outside my door by a complete stranger.

[@angelabryant9766]

I like the basic concept of this movie, where it's essentially a flip of the usual slasher set up, where the flaws of the victims are heavily emphasized and we want the slasher to emerge unscathed, which he does. If this movie was better written, I would've applauded it for such a unique situation. Cause the idea of a killer who goes crazy only once, killing a select set of people, then never kills again and unites with the woman he loves. Hell, by the end I think she knew he was the killer, she just didn't care.

[@atomikpunk6038]

"Radioactive David Bowie" good stuff, lol!

[@susanaalmeida593]

It's a shame this movie seems so boring because I too LOVE the villain's design, the theme of a Valentine's Day killer with threatening cards is cool and some of the kills are neat but it needed better people behind it. It's such a shame when cool ideas are wasted on bad execution.

[@thepersonalities8683]

This was hilarious, and I haven't seen Ash this angry since Bride Wars

[@TwizzFizz]

'Those corpses don't get stiff on their own' omg XD

[@nostalgiafan3585]

I don't know why but this slasher intrigued me, it has some peculiarities. usually with the other slasher i look at them, i tell myself at the end that i love them and it's all except with valentine it was not the same as with the other slasher, he has something which manages to intrigue and make the film interesting from start to finish. it is too underestimated. it is an excellent slasher with a real plot, a very well put together story, a unique film which lasts 1 hour 35 minutes. The killer has a real motive, he is not a psychopath, he does not kill in order to kill. these assassinations are very original and quite surprising, not too bloody but brutal and original with elegance. I love morbid valentines cards, great idea. The mask also very well thought out and logical with the theme. the elegant black costume of a vengeful killer cupid rejected by love. with the trickle of blood on the mask and the nosebleed of the young boy from the prologue who is the symbol of this very well thought out killer also adds a touch. the end of the film which I also adore because this turnaround is just magical with the final shot. we can say that he succeeded in his plan. excellent. I watch it every February 14 at the evening of every year. always a pleasure. it's a mix of thriller, romance, horror, love, and sleuth with a charismatic and serious killer as well as very consistent with its theme and story. the soundtrack and the music of this slasher are also excellent, this mixture of love song and scary horror, perfect.

This is why I like my bloody valentine the characters are actually likeable

[@LeviHazzard]

Seen so many reviews of this movie saying its shit but yet i've rewatched it so many times and i still love it, have to say its a guilty pleasure and the killer is one of my top 5 favorites of all slashers.

[@FictionAddiction]

Levi Zammit well, like I said, I do like the parts where it's actually a slasher movie. It's everything surrounding it I can't stand

[@LeviHazzard]

You should do a review of Stage Fright (2014) i'm pretty sure you'll feel the same way about that, the killer is really entertaining.

[@alextorres4667]

@@LeviHazzard not in my top five all around slasher but in my coolest design story, and creativity along with stage frights killer

[@sebastianfragomeni5741]

This was my favourite from the Scream generation despite the movie containing too many holes.

[@GameTutzTV]

This is the content I love from you esh. I remember seeing this movie on TV like 10 years ago. I’ll never forget this movie as the movie where the killer bleeds out her nose

[@Malicient]

Holy shit, someone who actually remember Bots Master. Next thing we know, you'll make a Project Geeker reference.

[@jahbvbypost]

I honestly love your reviews I have a Movie Review request "Urban Legends Final Cut"

[@job489]

It's so cool that you did a review of this film. I remember requesting this review back when you had your Horrible Horror channel. And yeah, I hated all the characters in this film as well. I was rooting for the killer whenever he showed up.

[@jwnj9716]

I cant believe people hate this, I still have it on VHS, yeah it has some dumb moments like the killer for some reason has a purple stomach just like the dead body but still its enjoyable.

[@twinblademasta]

Oh my fucking god i've been looking for the movie with the power drill hot tub scene for so fucking loooooooooooooooong thaaaank you

[@ddjsoyenby]

i'll give credit the k1lls are cool, and thx for talking about ssc.

[@trainerredcharizard7982]

I Remember this and how i HATEd everyone in this movie who were killed..even the one that stayed alive didnt somehow made me like her. And the Idententity of a Killer was TOO Easy..even i guessed that

[@maxmcelhannan7477]

shit dude, i'm sorry that stuff happened to you

[@EmirJYanshu]

Love the review. The killer mask is weird but interesting

[@Channel9001]

I saw this movie in high school, but could not properly articulate why I thought it was terrible. I think I understand a little better now.

[@theboredcyborg]

Great review and channel! Subscribed! I just released my Valentine review, and it seems we have similar opinions about it. Keep up the great work!

[@sethwayne706]

I adore this movie. Sue me

[@secretlyamartian96]

Huh never heard of this movie *sees scene where the chick eats the magot candy* Oh wait...now I remember

[@saintdane05]

Hold up, that's Denise Richards! What's she doing here, she was in Starship Troopers!

[@leejones8582]

Have you thought about doing a review of Cherry Falls?

[@FictionAddiction]

Possibly! I don't remember it much, so I dunno how much material it has. But it might make for a good semi-sequel to this video.

[@leejones8582]

@@FictionAddiction It came out in 2000 stars the late Brittany Murphy and Michael Biehn and was denied a theatrical release in America went straight to video there and watched abit on Channel 4 in the UK a few years ago aesthetically it does look like Valentine

[@josethebeast8709]

[@trainerredcharizard7982]

Thank God that V-Day is soon over..well being a Single i know that being alone and Bitter isnt the Best thing ever but i just hate some Cutsy ass couples that i see at Work..But meh again..

[@trainerredcharizard7982]
