Directed by Jamie Blanks, Valentine follows a group of young friends who have known each other since childhood and face their biggest challenge when a Cupid-masked serial killer begins targeting their group (with threatening Valentine’s Day gifts, hence the title).
Valentine will always have one of the creepiest twists for me; a fake-out reveal at the end exposes Dorothy – who accused Jeremy of the sexual assault – as the killer but, moments before the credits roll, Adam (Boreanaz) gets a nosebleed, a trait of the killer, revealing him as the real Cupid before the screen cuts to black.
