Un San Valentín de muerte

Cinco amigas veinteañeras, Kate, Page, Shelly, Lily y Dorothy, al acercarse el día de San Valentín, intentan arreglar sus vidas amorosas. Sin embargo, una extraña cita acaba con el asesinato de una de ellas a manos de un psicópata enmascarado que, previamente, le había enviado una morbosa tarjeta de San Valentín. Después del funeral, las demás empiezan a recibir amenazas a través de tarjetas y mensajes.


Más jóvenes guapos y descerebrados. ¡Todos a temblar, porque sus vidas peligran! El productor Dylan Sellers explica la fórmula exitosa de su film: "El sexo y el amor van unidos con la muerte en todas las películas de terror." Con tal premisa se juega al contraste entre el romántico día de San Valentín, y los crímenes sangrientos. Dirige el film Jamie Blanks, responsable de Leyenda urbana.

TRAILER

Valentine's Day 1988: At the school dance, geeky Jeremy Melton bravely faces one rejection after the other when asking four popular girls to dance with him. A fifth girl, plump and insecure, agrees, but they end up making out under the bleachers. When a group of school bullies catches them, the girl claims that Jeremy attacked her. This causes them to strip off his clothes and beat him up in front of the entire school. Flash forward to 2001. We meet the five girls who were in that school gym: Kate, Paige, Shelly, Lily and the formerly plump Dorothy. They are all in their 20's now and trying to sort out their love lives, which is appropriate, since Valentine's Day is coming up. After a disastrous date with a loser, one of the girls, a pre-med student, is murdered by a Cherub-mask wearing killer who sent her a death threat in the form of a Valentine card prior to the attack. After the four remaining girls are reunited at her funeral...
