Valentine	comment	One of the contemporary Slasher Movies that rode on the coattails of Scream (1996)'s success, e.g... I Know What You Did Last Summer.At a junior high school Valentine's Day prom in 1988, a bespectacled loser named Jeremy Melton asks several girls (Shelley, Lily, Paige and Kate) to dance, only to be cruelly shot down—except for the latter, who politely rejects him. Another girl, Dorothy, who at this stage is a little chubby, accepts his offer. But when some boys spot her and Melton making out, she claims he was assaulting her, prompting them to publicly strip and beat him, after which he is sent to a reform school.Thirteen years later, the girls are all grown up and played by Katherine Heigl, Jessica Cauffiel, Denise Richards, Marley Shelton and Jessica Capshaw respectively. They're now dealing with various boyfriend issues, and Dorothy has since slimmed down. As Valentine's Day approaches, they start receiving threatening Valentine's Day cards signed by "J.M." Then, a killer dressed in a black coat and cupid mask shows up and starts offing them one by one. Is it Melton, come back for revenge, or someone else?See also My Bloody Valentine, another Valentine's Day-themed slasher flick.

Adam thinks that Dorothy went mad after spending so many years being lonely. The scene also serves as a subtle Motive Rant since Adam (really Jeremy) started killing for the exact same reasons: he never got over the loneliness he felt or the False Rape Accusation he received until he started killing.

Kate's iron is given quite a bit of focus in the scene in her apartment when she forgets it's still on. The iron is later used to kill Gary. The electricity at Dorothy's mansion is rather unstable. This is first brought up when the light switch to the basement lets out a spark or two when Campbell attempts to turn on the lights when he goes to relight the pilot light to the heater. The power goes out again when Paige is electrocuted in a hot tub, but this time for the whole house. The power drill used to attack and electrocute Paige is seen in a pile of tools used by Campbell to fix the hot tub.

Valentine / int_323fd510	comment	Everyone Is a Suspect: Given that this film was made in the wake of Scream (1996) in the whodunit slasher mold, there's a cavalcade of figures surrounding the lead quintet of gals that have chances to be the suspect; to make matters even more difficult, they haven't seen the lead suspect, Jeremy Melton, in more than a decade so he could look like anyone they know. For example: Adam Carr, Kate's troubled boyfriend who is trying to curb his drinking problem. Campbell Morris, Dorothy's boyfriend who conveniently shows up as the killings start, whose last name is unknown, and is genuinely up to some shady stuff (he's a Con Man Gold Digger). Jason Marquette, a man who shares initials with the killer, had a Bad Date with Shelley early in the film, and leers at Kate and Paige at an art exhibit that serves as the site for the second murder. This isn't limited to the men; as Denise Richards states in an interview that there's a chance "[she] could be the killer"; true to form, halfway through the film Paige sneaks into Kate's apartment and surprises her with a Jump Scare after the killer was last seen in Kate's apartment. Dorothy is revealed to have a lot of resentment built up over the years over being the one member of the friend group who always had bad luck with guys.

Valentine / int_4920f624	comment	Hidden Villain: Jeremy Melton is a zigzagged example. It's made pretty clear that he's the Cupid killer, but he's also unpersoned himself. So the main characters have to figure out which one of their social circle is his cover identity before he kills all of them, and even then it takes until the absolute final shot of the film to reveal it.

Valentine / int_97926168	comment	Rewatch Bonus: Twofold. In the scene where Kate and Adam are sitting in the bar, Kate mentions that Gary is creepy around her, always around her and leering. The next scene in Kate's apartment, the killer finds Gary in her apartment and beats him to death. These two scenes are a pretty strong clue that Adam is the Cupid killer since the only person who knew Kate was uncomfortable around Gary was Adam. Right before Campbell gets a call from his fence, he can be seen with a few power tools next to a hot tub. If the viewer is wondering where the killer got the drill to attack Paige, this is it. A clue that the person clad in the killer's costume isn't Jeremy/Adam is how they jump Kate near the end of the film. Throughout the film the killer never moves faster than a brisk walk, while the person who attacks from the closet quickly bull-rushes Kate. When Adam unmasks Dorothy after shooting her, the latter has a bruise on the left side of her head she did not have when arguing with Kate (the last time Dorothy appeared onscreen). This is a clue that someone knocked her out and set her up...

Shelley is Sloth; while the most ambitious, she apparently procrastinated over her medical exam and gives no thoughts to what happened to Jeremy. Campbell is Greed; he's a Gold Digger only interested in Dorothy's money. Max is Lust; he invited Lily and his assistant Amy for a threesome and tries to smooch up Kate. Adam is Wrath; the entire plot happens because of his personal vendetta against Kate's friends, which claims a number of other lives along the way. Alternatively Paige is Lust (befitting the traditional way of depicting lust) and Max is Pride given his ego.

The killer's nosebleed every time he kills serves as a figurative version of this trope as it's the main feature that can be used to identify him after the film's prologue.

This mask is never worn by the killer throughout the film (for one thing there's no back to the mask and is secured to the user's head by a strap, while the killer's mask encompasses the entire head). One of Shelley's fellow med students initially appears to be the Cupid killer because her Valentine is first seen after he leaves the locker room. Jason Marquette and Campbell. The former has the same initials as the killer and gives creepy stares, the latter just happens to appear as the killings start and none of the other gals know him very well. Paige makes a sudden appearance in Kate's apartment, right where the killer was last seen when he killed Gary. This one is lampshaded in an interview with Entertainment Tonight where Denise Richards said "I could be the killer!" Dorothy is shot dead wearing the killer's costume after revealing the large amount of emotional baggage she has and attacking Kate on the stairs. This last one was a deliberate ploy by the killer.
