Heart Eyes stars Olivia Holt (Totally Killer) and Mason Gooding (Scream) as a couple whose Valentine's Day plans are interrupted by the notorious Heart Eyes Killer. The killer resurfaces every Feb. 14 to kill unsuspecting lovebirds, all while rocking a spooky mask with heart-shaped eyeholes and some gnarly heart-tipped arrows. Fittingly, the trailer describes the Heart Eyes Killer as "Cupid, with a kink."

With this love-hating murderer on the loose, no couple is safe. But could Holt and Gooding have what it takes to bring the Heart Eyes Killer to justice?
