Valentine [Collector's Edition] [Blu-ray]

Director: Jamie Blanks, Andrew Adamson Jamie Blanks

Overview

The novel of the same name by author Tom Savage becomes this horror film starring Marley Shelton as Kate Davies. Kate's in a troubled relationship with journalist Adam Carr (David Boreanaz), a problem drinker, but she receives support from her best friends, the same four girls she's known since grade school: Paige Prescott (Denise Richards), Dorothy Wheeler (Jessica Capshaw), Lily Voight (Jessica Cauffel), and Shelly Fisher (Katherine Heigl). When Shelly is murdered and the other girls begin receiving gruesome Valentine's Day cards signed "JM," they begin to speculate that the killer could be an awkward schoolmate named Jeremy Melton, whom they once teased mercilessly at a school dance, leading to his beating and humiliation. Dorothy in particular is afraid that a false accusation she made against Jeremy might be causing him to seek bloody retribution, but the macho detective (Fulvio Cecere) assigned to investigate Shelly's murder has some other suspects in mind. As the body count is racked up and Dorothy's lavish Valentine's Day party approaches, Kate begins to suspect that the true identity of Jeremy, who likely underwent plastic surgery to alter his appearance, could hit very close to home. Valentine is the second slasher flick from Urban Legend (1998) director Jamie Blanks.

Editorial Reviews

Remember that kid in middle school who everyone made fun of and who could never get a date? Well, he remembers you. So goes the premise of Valentine, the smart and twist-filled thriller from Urban Legend director Jamie Blanks. Based on Tom Savage's novel -- and owing much to Stephen King's Carrie -- the film finds the popular girls in a world of trouble when, thirteen years after the sixth grade, the school's scrawny geek returns as a masked killer bent on revenge. This Cupid hasn't just brought a bow and arrow, he's brought a knife too, making broken hearts the least of these girls' worries. In true teen-slash tradition, this shocking good time includes a cast of hot young stars, including brooding David Boreanaz (TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel), sizzling Denise Richards, sweet Marley Shelton (Sugar & Spice), alluring Katherine Heigl (Bride of Chucky, TV's Roswell), and Jessica Cauffiel (Urban Legends: Final Cut). Each adds a fun and frightening bump to the movie's ever-twisty ride. In this Valentine, love isn't just blind -- it's deadly.

Barnes & Noble - Lewis Somoza Manalo

Valentine is a smart, stylish horror picture that offers a fresh twist on the ever-reliable revenge theme and affords a raft of talented young actors solid roles that show them to advantage.
