The eyes of the heart do one thing that a horror movie did not do before

This article contains some Spoilers For “Eyes of the Heart”.

Film industry team behind The new movie “Heart Eyes”, which was appointed on Valentine’s Day It seems that he gathered around their movie with a certain spinning of “seeing him in theaters!” agenda. That is, new horror films icons (and privileges, naturally) cannot be born if no one goes to see them when they are new. Although this is incomprehensible, it is important to refer to one of the reasons for at least one of the reasons that make horror fans-imitatively a very sincere and easy-to-prepare group-they have not appeared in one of the many attempts to create a new horror icon over the past decade and change.

While some have not been given a fair tremor at all (see the sad story of the environment that was almost suppressed “The empty man”Either they have a dull start (sorry, “The Bogeyman”It was very single for the privilege (I don’t think we will see “Choose V: Skinarinking “arrived” any time soon) “Thanksgiving Day” The film finally comes out of “GrindHouse”), or was simply the veneration and/or reminds us of other horror icons. This popular campaign run by “Heart Eyes” runs by people has a great deal of merit, because the film feels fresh. Ironically, however, this freshness is not related to the horror content itself.

The Heart Eyes Killer (referred to in the film called “Hek”, a reference to the real BTK serial killer, Dennis Rader) is mainly a mixture of Michael Myers and Ghostface: They are silent, wearing a mascia creeping, there may be many of them, use different devices In creative ways to commit murder, and so on. It is not even the apparent concept behind this Hek as well; Although marketing and the film open with the hypothesis that Hek only kills husbands, the film breaks this rule very quickly. No, the thing that “Heart Eyes” did not do before is a Trops’ defeat and the Slasher movie structure completely with Trops and the romantic comedy structure, allowing the film to fulfill both types completely. While a horror movie refers to other horror movies is literally ten cents, this honoring ROM-Com is what makes the “eyes of the heart” really stand out in a crowd of people.

Initially, a horror movie is not a new or unique type of horror. Consider this: Despite the huge amount of horrific hybrid films, most of them tend to prefer one element over the other. The mix of comedy and horror is one of the stock market now (or at least it should be), but even the biggest stars in this cross pollination tend to be assembled in a category or another. This is because most of the Mash-UP movies are really a mixture, with different elements of two or more stirring in the recipe.

It is very difficult to get a real mix. Even the most famous examples of the type that bends do not stick to the concept of wiping my full type of novel together. For example, though “Sean from the dead” It was announced as “ROM-ZOM-Com” (also known as a romantic comedy with zombie), none of the structure or Trops inside the movie sticks to the classic ROM-Com; It is just a romantic story against the background of a coma of the end of the world that coincides with it. To refer to another example, “From dusk to dawn” It is often praised by the combination of bold crime drama and the amazing creature’s advantage. This is true, but the drama of bold crime stops as soon as the vampire appears, which means that the film is less than a mix and more than development.

It is not surprising, that “the eyes of the heart” participated in the book “Christopher Landon and Michael Kennedy”, which became the closest to mixing the type with their work. Landon “Day of Death is happy” And “Happy Death 2U” successfully remained a diagonal cinematic structure during the science fiction story, while Landon and Kennedy “terrible” All classic rhythms of both SWAP comedy and SLASHER story included in the old school. When it comes to encouragement of type, “Heart Eyes” takes everything the book learned with these films and misses them.

There was recently a return to the romantic comedy construction, and what about box office successes like “Anyone but you” and the next festival like “The Wedding Banquet”. In conjunction with this is an increasing estimate of the ROM-Com pioneers, and the classic elements that feel an integral part of this type. last year “Twisters” praised some of these elements in a very malicious way. “Heart Eyes” seems to be an extension of this greeting, to the extent that it was possible to separate the film’s ROM-Com story from its oblique terror, it will continue to work as a full movie.

Josh Robin, director “Heart Eyes” during one of the most prominent Reddit Ama, stated that some of his most prominent effects on the movie were Rom Benser Marshall (“” Big “) and Nora Ephron (” Sleepless in Seattle “), and this effect can be seen all the time. Although Namecheck Richard Curtis was not, it seemed to see the work of “Love AFLE” as the director in “Heart Eyes” as well, especially when it comes to the personal comedy between ALY (Olivia Holt) and Jay (Mason Goodning) , Those who meet gently at the Seattle Café when they realize that they presented the same arrangement (then they continue to get each other several times, a little smart in “ScroOGED”). When it turned out that ally and jay compete for the same creative function of the delightful companies – being a manager of a jewelry campaign – the duo has an excuse for the “History of Work” on Valentine’s Day, a meeting that was unfortunately crashed by both the former ally friend and The Heart Eyes Killer.

From there, “Heart Eyes” and Jay’s Romance in the classic ROM-Com style, from their fun joking, to special moments, moments that are not absent from that, feelings of harm, and even strong near Rendzvous at the airport. The most impressive thing is that not all of this happens just simultaneously with their candidacy for their lives from Hek, but the ROM-Kum story does not take the back seat to the work of the tilted, as it is not stopped. Thus, “Heart Eyes” is as much as a horror movie, a horror movie, a rare achievement.

While the majority of the cinematic references within the “eyes of the heart” are another ROM, not other horror or tilted films, this does not mean that Robin and the company do not show their horror in the movie. In different places (including that I replied but The premiere of the film was shown in Los Angeles, which she was able to attend), Robin stated that his greatest impact on the movie is not “bloody Valentine’s Day” or “screaming”, but instead of 1986 “Friday, the sixth part of the sixth: Jason lives.” This completion, which was written and directed by Tom McLeglin, was the re -introduction of Jason Faris the Great to the “Friday” privilege (after his absence from a type in “Part V”). McLOUGHLIN used this occasion not only to introduce elements of superpowers and Gothic horror in the series, but also to take some cultural burden of horror continuation (and “Friday” privilege in particular) by making characters shatter the fourth wall at times, including the deliberate feeling of humor. Part of this last agenda included writing a very teenaged love love story in the movie, which is only a deeper device and enriches a movie that could have weighted as a lot of garbage that Jason finds himself in the end.

Although “Jason Lives” was an important step on the trip to the self -reference for “Scream” (McLeedLin claims that “Scream” Kevin Williamson cited “Jason Lives” as an effect) “screaming”, but something simpler and serious, which makes its way to “Eyes of the Heart”. Where she loves “screaming” Boom “screaming” and a lot of horror films in the afternoon that loves the court of terror by completing the equivalent of cinematic for the consecutive prophets, “Heart Eyes” is a sincere celebration of both armed pieces and romantic comedies that are not “hunting for cake points Therefore, while “the eyes of the heart” may be far from the most authentic movie, its uniqueness emerges among a large crowd.

Just like choosing a special person from all fish in the sea, if you are along the wave, it may fall into the “heart eyes”.
