Heart Eyes

Heart Eyes is a Valentine’s Day-themed horror thriller that combines romance and terror. The story unfolds in the streets of Seattle, which is under siege by a serial killer known as the “Heart Eyes Killer.” The plot follows two co-workers who are mistaken for a romantic couple while working late on Valentine’s Day. They find themselves in a chilling game of survival, navigating the dangers of the night as they are pursued by the killer.

Filming Location
Although the movie is set in Seattle, the primary filming took place in Auckland, New Zealand, from June to July 2024. This choice allowed the production to simulate a wintry backdrop, enhancing the Valentine’s Day atmosphere with cold, overcast settings. Auckland’s growing reputation as a versatile filming location made it a fitting choice.
