Heart Eyes OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding's rom-com horror film online
Heart Eyes OTT Release Date: Love, laughter… and murder? That's the twist this film brings to the screen - a Valentine's Day-themed rom-com with a sharp, slasher edge. After a theatrical release in February 2025 and a digital rollout in March, this quirky horror-romance is finally heading to a mega screening. Mark your calendars, Heart Eyes will be available to stream on Netflix starting May 8, 2025.
A killer twist on love
Directed by Josh Ruben (Scare Me, Werewolves Within), Heart Eyes turns the typical romantic comedy on its head by adding a serial killer into the mix. Set around Valentine's Day, the story follows the rise of a masked murderer known as the Heart Eyes Killer, who has been haunting the holiday for years by stalking and killing romantic couples.
This year, the horror continues… but not without a dose of romance and charm. At the centre of the chaos are Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding, who play an unlikely couple thrown together by fate and fear. What starts as a chance romantic spark quickly turns into a wild survival ride as they try to stay alive and, maybe, fall in love in the process.
This film brings together a solid cast including Olivia Holt (Cruel Summer, Kickin' It), Mason Gooding (Scream VI, Love, Victor), Gigi Zumbado, Jordana Brewster, and Devon Sawa, among others. Some reports suggest that Netflix streaming will be available only in the US, and if that happens, regions in Asia will get the film around May/June 2025, while other countries may have to wait up to a year or more.
Box office and reception
While Heart Eyes didn't break records at the box office, it did quite well considering its $18 million budget, earning $33 million worldwide. What really helped the movie shine was word of mouth and strong critical reception. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a critic score of 81% and an audience score of 77%—a clear sign that both horror fans and rom-com lovers found something to enjoy.
Over on IMDb, it sits at a 6.1/10, reflecting mixed but mostly positive reactions. Critics appreciated how the film embraced both genres without taking itself too seriously. As one reviewer put it: 'It's a rom-com that knows it's fighting for attention—and it wins by having fun with itself.'

‘Adolescence' overtakes ‘Stranger Things 4' to become Netflix's No. 2 most-watched English-language series ever
British limited series 'Adolescence' has become Netflix's second most-watched English-language show of all time, surpassing the popular 'Stranger Things' Season 4. As of June 1, 'Adolescence' has gathered 141.2 million views since its release on March 13, just 80 days ago. Netflix ranks its top shows based on views gathered in the first 91 days of release, and in that same timeframe, 'Stranger Things 4' had recorded 140.7 million views in 2022. Only Wednesday, the gothic teen mystery series, 'Wednesday', starring Jenna Ortega, holds a stronger position in Netflix's English-language rankings, with a remarkable 252.1 million views in its first 91 days. The success of 'Adolescence' marks a significant moment for British storytelling on the global stage, showing strong viewership across different countries. When expanding the list to include all languages, Korean sensation 'Squid Game' Season 1 remains Netflix's most-watched series ever, with 265.2 million views. Its upcoming second season has also performed strongly in early data, reaching 192.6 million views and placing just behind Wednesday and ahead of Adolescence. With still a few days left in its 91-day tracking window, 'Adolescence' may yet widen the gap between itself and Stranger Things, solidifying its spot in Netflix's streaming history. 'Adolescence' has gained praise for its emotional storytelling, sharp performances, and thought-provoking themes, resonating strongly with both teen and adult audiences. Created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham and directed by Philip Barantini, 'Adolescence' is a four-part mini-series that tells the powerful and emotional story of 13-year-old Jamie Miller (played by Owen Cooper), who is arrested after being accused of murdering a classmate. Each episode is filmed in a single continuous take, a creative choice that heightens the drama and makes the viewer feel as though they are right there with the characters, living each moment in real time. With its raw performances, bold direction, and unique storytelling approach, 'Adolescence' has received critical acclaim and strong word-of-mouth support, which have helped propel its global popularity.
