Valentine is basically a formulaic throwback to conventional pre-Scream slasher flicks. Critics say it doesn't offer enough suspense or scares to justify its addition to the genre.

The contradictory sexual politics in this lightweight slasher suggest that at some point it was meant to satirize the traditional mores of the self-satisfied female characters.
In the new teen slasher flick Valentine, a public-school nerd, now grown up, seeks to systematically murder all the girls who wouldn't dance with him at the Grade 6 Valentine's dance. Or maybe that's not what happens. It ís hard to tell.
A cheesy horror flick that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Top CriticI had fun anyway.
Valentine isn't scary, but it is unsettling; not ultimately satisfying, but arresting in the moment.
Looking good but lacking much in the way of personality or gray matter.
Poorly made and just stupid.
Yet another one of those films that Scream was supposed to have buried but instead resurrected.
...a formula stirring in upscale sex, murder, holiday mutilation and lots of junior high school revenge fantasy.
It doesn't have those scare-the-sh*t out of you moments, and if it doesn't have any of those, what's the point?
Scary horror flicks went out with the emergence of the self-referential horror movie.
The essential daftness isn't helped by the stars, who play it straight when they should have gone for laughs.
Porno actresses are smarter than this crew!
I'm not a big fan of horror films, but as they go this isn't a bad one.
9% of critics liked this movie? That's sad and an awfully high number I think. The people who actually did like this pathetic waste of time are either Angel fans or anyone who still thinks Denise Richards is hot. Don't bother watching this shit. Go to the park, shake up bottles of soda and throw them at the ground

Valentine is one of the better films in the teen horror genres, yeah I know. Even though the film is a better take on a tired genre in horror, it doesn't necessarily mean thats its a good film, far from it. The actors are terrible, and the script is lacking in effective scares, but what it does have is plenty of
