Heart Eyes (2025) – Blu-ray Disc Review
Format: Blu-ray (1080p)
Release Date: April 15, 2025
️ Runtime: 97 minutes
️ Genres: Horror | Mystery | Thriller | Crime
Rating: R


️ Video – 4.0/5

  • Codec: MPEG-4 AVC
  • Resolution: 1080p
  • Aspect Ratio: 2.38:1 (original 2.39:1)

Heart Eyes features a polished and stylish HD transfer, aligning with Sony’s strong track record for digital releases. The 1080p image is sharp, presenting strong clarity in both well-lit and shadow-heavy environments — critical for a slasher steeped in night scenes, alleys, and dimly lit romantic settings gone wrong. Colors lean cooler in the nighttime cityscape scenes but maintain a rich saturation when needed, particularly with red tones (appropriate for the Valentine’s Day themes). Skin textures, clothing details, and ambient background objects are all crisply rendered. Black levels are deep and stable, giving the film a solid sense of depth and preventing crush during key horror sequences. Minor banding is present in a few gradient transitions but nothing too distracting. Overall, a clean and engaging visual presentation.


Audio – 4.0/5

  • Audio Tracks:
    • English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1
    • French (Canada) DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1
    • Spanish DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1
    • English Dolby Digital 5.1
    • French Dolby Digital 5.1
  • Subtitles: English, English SDH, French, Spanish

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix is solid for a horror thriller, doing exactly what it needs to: delivering tight, atmospheric surround activity with occasional explosive moments of violence. Dialogue is well-balanced and stays clear even during loud chase or confrontation scenes. Surround channels provide ample tension-building elements — whispering winds, distant sirens, and environmental echoes are distributed smoothly around the listener. Bass response adds solid low-end presence to key jump scares and action beats. Music cues enhance the eerie atmosphere without overpowering the effects or dialogue. It’s an effective, mood-driven audio mix that adds a layer of menace to the experience without being overly flashy.


Special Features and Extras – 2.0/5

Unfortunately, Sony has delivered a very bare-bones package here:

  • Behind-the-Scenes Featurette (HD, 7 min)
    A very short promotional piece with cast and crew discussing the concept of the “Heart Eyes Killer” and how the film taps into fears surrounding modern dating.
  • Deleted Scenes (HD, 4 min)
    A handful of extended or alternate takes, none of which dramatically change character arcs or plot points.
  • Digital Copy via Movies Anywhere

That’s it — no commentary, no making-of documentary, and no deep dives into the film’s production, which feels like a missed opportunity.


Overall – 3.5/5

Heart Eyes (2025) is a sleek, modern slasher entry that balances gore, mystery, and psychological tension with a slick visual style and a timely thematic hook centered around Valentine’s Day terror. Sony’s Blu-ray release presents a strong A/V package that does justice to the film’s eerie cinematography and soundscape, but the supplements are minimal. If you’re a horror fan — or if you enjoy slashers that update classic tropes for a new generation — this is RECOMMENDED, though collectors may wish there were more bonus content to sweeten the deal.
