Heart Eyes is a slasher feature that debuts in U.S. theaters on February 7, 2025. The plot revolves around a pair of co-workers who get mistaken for a romantic couple by the Heart Eyes Killer on Valentine’s Day and now must run for their lives. Slashers, and any other type of horror movies, often have mid, post, or end-credits scenes. So, it’s not surprising that people want to know whether Heart Eyes has one as well.
Is there an end, mid, or post-credits scene in Heart Eyes?
Yes, Heart Eyes has a post-credits scene.
In franchise filmmaking, mid, post, and end-credits scenes can serve multiple purposes. They can indicate that the story will continue or contain some moments dedicated to the fans or both. Generally in slashers, they depict that the killer has survived, underscoring the notion that there could be sequels. However, Heart Eyes subverts this trope, choosing to focus the scene on the relationship between its two leads, Olivia Holt’s Ally and Mason Gooding’s Jay Simmons.
What happens in Heart Eyes’ post-credits scene?
Heart Eyes is both a rom-com and a slasher and in the post-credits scene, the movie focuses more on the former. While Ally and Jay aren’t a couple at the start of Heart Eyes, they grow very close throughout the movie, and in the post-credits scene, which takes place a year after the climax, they are in a relationship. Jay asks Ally to move in with him. Although she declines, she then proposes marriage. Ally also decides to leave the advertising industry and go back to medical school, while Jay realizes that he no longer needs to move from one city to another and work as a freelancer, and settles in.
Heart Eyes even parodies conventional slashers. It seems that the threat the Heart Eyes Killers posed is still at large when Ally gets a call from a person using the same voice modifiers as the killer, but it ultimately turns out to be Ally’s friend Monica. She witnessed Ally and Jay’s engagement and took photos.
