Hulu’s original Into the Dark production of “My Valentine” is a mixture of retro pop music and a post teen relationship gone criminally askew. 

Britt Baron portrays the leading lady, Valentine Fawkes who has recently moved on from an abusive relationship with her boyfriend and music manager, Royal. Valentine and her guitar player and best friend Julie (Anna Akana) have just begun to revive their music career when Royal shows up at their music gig with a very sharp knife, and an insane prospective on dating and music production.

Things really get creepy, when Royal manages to block off all the exists from the club when all the patrons have left and destroys Valentines and Julie's cell phones. 



Royal brings his new girlfriend to the gig, Trezzure (Anna Lore) who he wants to be the new Valentine in his wacked quest for show business success. Trezzure has her own bizarre views and on stealing Valentine's music and she soon develops Royals taste for blood. 


 

Things swirl into excessive violence and murder when Valentine refuses to write music for Trezzure.

This movie is geared for teenagers and perhaps even teenyboppers, but I really liked it, even the music. A solid two thumbs up for “My Valentine.”
