Theatrical release: February 2, 2001. The film is based on the 1996 book VALENTINE: A NOVEL by Tim Savage. Director Jamie Blanks told the Movies magazine that on the set, everyone called David Boreanaz by the nickname Captain Non Sequitur "for all the oddball comments he'd make. Once, right before we were rolling, he looked at me with a straight face and said, 'You know, Jamie, sometimes I wake up early in the morning and I eat salmon.'" Boreanaz told the Movies magazine that VALENTINE is "being marketed as a horror film, but it's really a suspense thriller with a great twist at the end. Jamie is a kind of Hitchcockian director. He's very much into classic horror, but he's also very improvisational."
A group of four precocious college girls makes fun of one of their nerdy classmates--a young man who harbors a serious grudge about it for years afterward. Finally, having grown into a handsome, self-assured man, he goes back to get his revenge: Each year on Valentine's Day he takes one of them on a murderous date. From the director of URBAN LEGEND, VALENTINE is a terrifying horror story starring David Boreanaz (ANGEL) and Denise Richards (WILD THINGS).
