In many ways,Heart Eyesfeels a like a direct creative descendant toScream.
BothHeart EyesandScreamare slasher films at their very core, with gory kills littered throughout their respective run-times.
While this self-aware sense of humor is played differently, they share a similar comedic DNA.
InScream, the humor is more dialogue-driven beats that serve as meta commentaries on horror tropes.
InHeart Eyes, the comedy is more physical and silly, and less fully self-aware.
InScream, the big twist was that there were two people working together as Ghostface.

The true Heart Eyes killers actually turn out to be Detective Shaw and her husband, David.
Alongside his twin sister Mindy, Chad is one of the main survivors of the recent Ghostface attacks.
Chad is a major figure in the film but far from the star of the story.

Could Heart Eyes Become The Next Scream?
It’s another example of both films having a somewhat silly self-aware sense of humor towards slashers.
