The contradictory sexual politics in this lightweight slasher suggest that at some point it was meant to satirize the traditional mores of the self-satisfied female characters.

In the new teen slasher flick Valentine, a public-school nerd, now grown up, seeks to systematically murder all the girls who wouldn't dance with him at the Grade 6 Valentine's dance. Or maybe that's not what happens. It is hard to tell.

Valentine isn't scary, but it is unsettling; not ultimately satisfying, but arresting in the moment.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Looking good but lacking much in the way of personality or gray matter.
