Valentine

Review by James Anthony

It must be really easy for horror-movie producers to pick up wads of money - they obviously don't care about squandering it - because whatever Valentine cost, it was too much.

Having studiously avoided the genre for a while, it was with a little but of anticipation that this overhyped "smart, stylish horror ... with a fresh twist" movie hit the old DVD player.

Swines! I got caught out and it was one more night in front of very ordinary fare.

The plot of Valentine is basically that a young school nerd cops massive humiliation from a group of girls he wants to dance with (hey, who the hell hasn't!) and x-number of years later becomes the prime suspect as they start to get bumped off.

They are not a pleasant mob - if you can like one for their personality you are doing really well - and the pity of it all is that take so damn long to die.

However, it has to be said they are very pleasing on the eye and if it wasn't for the fact I was three-quarters asleep I'd have happily rewatched Denise Richards in the spa at least 1000 times. Still, when you are wanting a good scare and all you get is exposed tanned flesh on buxom babes it does tend to annoy.

The transfer is far too good for the film and so, for that matter, is the sound.

If you haven't picked the killer three minutes into the show then there is absolutely no hope for you. Still, teenage boys will love it.

Conclusion: Movie 65%, Extras 40%
