Love? Romance? Happiness? Bah!
Nothing speaks to my black heart more than an anti-Valentine’s movie, whether it’s unrequited love, a couple who kill or just a psycho who uses the occasion to kill some folk!
In no particular order…

THE LOVED ONES
Don’t say no if Lola invites you to the prom!
FATAL ATTRACTION

SIGHTSEERS
A road trip with a difference as Alice Lowe and Steve Oram travel the UK, taking their Daily Mail-hating homicidal habits on tour.

68 KILL
Adorably geeky Matthew Gray Gubler stumbles from one woman to the next, yearning for a connection and encountering nothing but trouble.
