Rotten Tomatoes is an enigma like no other. Sometimes, a movie rates well only to be despised by the public. Other times, critics hate a movie, and the masses cannot get enough. It’s enough to drive you insane if you let it. That’s where I come in – not to drive you insane – but rather to help make it all easier.
You may have heard of Kalshi, a site where you can trade the outcomes of events on just about anything. Well, believe it or not, Rotten Tomatoes ratings falls into that cavernous category of anything, and I want to help make you money. “Heart Eyes,” the film I’ll focus on for this specific article, is a slasher film directed by Josh Reuben, starring Jordana Brewster, Olivia Holt and Devon Sawa.
Currently, it has a line for over/under a 60% Rotten Tomatoes score on Kalshi. Below, I’ll break down my “Heart Eyes” Rotten Tomatoes rating prediction using the IBT Predictor Tool.

Building Our Entertainment Betting Model
Several factors go into our model. Here at In-Between Media (IBT), we’ve worked diligently to ensure the right data is compiled to give us a predictive score. The following criteria are weighed to formulate our score:

- Cast Score
Let’s break down where “Heart Eyes” lands in each category. At the conclusion (if you must skip my carefully crafted words, OK, I understand, but it’s mean), I’ll give you my Rotten Tomatoes rating prediction!
Director History
With a few horror movies under his belt already, Josh Ruben is ready to take on yet another in the genre. A horror-comedy maestro, he has laid down his own money to get his career going! With his eye for humor and scares, Ruben can absolutely give “Heart Eyes” the attention it needs. However, his lack of mainstream success might be a hindrance to his ability to deliver a major hit with the critics, especially given the slasher genre’s less-than-stellar track record.
Overall, though, I trust Ruben to deliver a well-crafted movie that critics and audiences will enjoy!
Cast Breakdown
The cast is full of seasoned vets of the genre. Devon Sawa has been the lead of the franchise-building “Final Destination.” Jordana Brewster has made a major name for herself in the “Fast & Furious” franchise but has also had her share of horror with films like “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”
Meanwhile, Olivia Holt has had some fresh tomatoes with her film “Totally Killer.” Throw in some strong ensemble pieces around them, and I like the “Heart Eyes” cast. Still, maybe we could have used one more iconic name to really make it elite!
Plot Concept
The Hollywood Reporter describes the movie: “When the killer mistakes a pair of co-workers working overtime on Valentine’s Day for a couple, they must flee and spend the most romantic night of the year on the run.”
It’s not a terribly difficult concept to grasp, and sometimes, that plays to the movie’s advantage. Not every film needs a massive, deep and enthralling plot. Sometimes, all you need is a psycho in a mask with a bunch of deadly objects, and you’ve got yourself a movie!
There’s not a ton to break down from that, but given it is upfront and direct with the idea, I like it.
Marketing & Buzz
Marketing has really picked up steam and I am seeing some previews in theaters lately, so that is a nice addition to the ranking! Could it have benefitted from a viral campaign like “Smile”? Sure, but everything could. Overall, I think it is upfront and honest with its marketing, which will only help it critically. Don’t lie and pretend to be something you’re not. Be yourself, and we’ll love you for it!
