After viewing the awful Urban Legends: Final Cut early last fall, I was skeptical about this film. I mean even though I was a huge fan of the original Urban Legend I wasn't even sure if I wanted to see anything that had to do with Urban Legend. So I went and saw Jamie Blanks new movie Valentine loosely based on a popular novel, and I must say it is a nice breath of fresh air away from the teeny bopper horror films. Although not highly original or even really that great Valentine kept my attention throughout its short 95 minute running time.

The film begins with a prologue of a junior prom, where a young nerdy looking boy wants someone to dance with. He asks all the preppy girls, and of course they turn him down and call him names. He goes over a plus sized girl and asks her to dance and she says yes. It cuts to the two making out under the bleachers, while a group of boys catches them the girl claims this boy attacked her, and the group of boys take him, strip him of his clothes and beat him up. Ten years later, three friends Kate Davies (Marley Shelton) the smart one, Paige Prescott (Denise Richards) the sexy one, and Dorothy Wheeler (Jessica Capshaw) the shy, rich one, start receiving morbid cards, and learn that someone might be stalking them with Valentine's Day on its way. Could someone from their past or someone they maybe turned down once be stalking them, and threatening their lives?
