  1. 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.

    OK, so Valentine is, like, this new serial-killer movie that totally blows. But kind of in a good way. Like, it's funny.
  3. A nose-bleeding mass murderer wears a mask that suggests Roger Ebert is knocking off a group of lifelong female friends.
  4. The slasher-movie genre may never die, but can't its perpetrators think up variations more clever than this by-the-numbers rehash?

    There isn't anything original about the movie, but it's still fun. Also, Denise Richards looks incredible in this film, and her scenes are great. Expand
