Sick to death of all the lovey-doveyness that comes with Valentine’s Day?

You’ll find the perfect remedy in a good old horror movie – guaranteed to be free from sickening love songs and ridiculously over-the-top marriage proposals. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy the gore and destruction this Valentine’s Day!

My Bloody Valentine – 2009

The only thing remotely romantic about this film is a short sex scene – which ends quickly in a brutal death. A film definitely not for the faint-hearted, the gore in this Valentine’s Day movie is guaranteed to take your mind off the flowers and chocolates your friends and co-workers received earlier in the day.

Valentine – 2001

Valentine is a “‘who done it?” movie that will keep you entertained with murder, mystery, and mayhem. The characters in this film receive morbid Valentine’s Day cards containing death threats from a deranged killer, plus chocolates filled with maggots! You definitely won’t have romance on your mind after watching this one.

The Silence of the Lambs - 1991

“To enter the mind of a killer, she must challenge the mind of a madman”. Some subtle hints at romance here between the likes of the courteous yet psychotic Dr Hannibal Lecter and the vulnerable FBI trainee Clarice Starling. But any thought of lovey-doveyness between the cannibal and the FBI trainee is quickly dismissed by the vicious “Buffalo Bill”, who is on a mission to create a “woman suit” by starving, killing and skinning overweight women.

A Nightmare on Elm Street - 1984

Ok, so this one’s got absolutely nothing to do with Valentine’s Day, but that just makes it all the more perfect for blocking out the choking soppiness outside. Freddy Krueger is sure to slash the romance out of Valentine’s Day as he goes on an unadulterated killing spree, tormenting a group of teenagers in their sleep.
