A niche holiday horror sub-genre that deserves a little more attention.
Map
It's Valentine's Day and Sasquatch is looking for a mate...maybe he'll find one at Jenny's house party. Anything released on Wild Eye Raw & Extreme is usually just that, thid one benefits from a decent script as well.
The Big F
A random guy on a college campus starts to hallucinate the girl of his dreams telling him to off the competition. Kind of plays out like a full length version of Eli Roth's Be Mine with less crossbow kills and better motivation.
Broken Hearts
This Cupid stars Zach Galligan (Gremlins) and Ashley Laurence (Hellraiser) as brother and sister, involves the Cupid mythos. I don't want to give too much away. Fun little low-key thriller, if you can find it.
Cupid
Fun little slasher-esque film where Cupid is a love-scorned vengeful deity. Weapon of choice: bow and arrow. A little dumb, but I love it.
Cupid
This slasher short made exclusively for VR is a straight-up love letter to 80s slasher films. There is a fun modern, twist ending.
Eli Roth's Be Mine : A VR Valentine's Slasher
This one is not out yet, but I'm adding it because of its relevance to the topic and the fact that I am a backer and they are still currently trying to fund. After finishing filming, they accidently lost A LOT of footage and are trying to regroup and...
Heart Breaker
Heart Eyes is one of the newest Valentine's Day slashers and also one of the most anticipated horror films of 2025. It's brutal approach should put Valentine's Day in the horror spotlight for a minute.
Heart Eyes
Although this is not solely about Valentine's Day, this anthology horror film makes the list because one of its stories is set on Valentine's Day. It's also one of the better shorts in the film.
Holidays
Three years after the first Scream film and the slasher subgenre was already flailing. This Valentine's Day set take on The Hook urban legend is relatively dull, but features Anna Faris in a pre-Scary Movie role as the dumb cheerleader who gets the g...
Lovers Lane
One of the original Valentine's Day set slashers and, honestly, still one of the best. Harry Warden deserves a sequel.
My Bloody Valentine
A modern take on a classic Valentine's Day slasher film. The 3D gimmick is tired as hell and the moments between the fun death scenes were soap opera as hell. I've never seen less chemistry and charisma from leads in a horror film in my life. Easily ...
My Bloody Valentine 3D
Hulu's monthly movie series, Into the Dark, serves up a little something different with this Valentine's horror film. With a glaring focus on abusive relationships, this might be the film responsible for popularizing pop stars as horror movie leads.
My Valentine
This is one of the most unique zombie films I've ever seen. Not only is it winter set, it's almost completely gore-less and still terrifying. Steven McHattie absolutely crushes in this film.
Pontypool
This is one of the best films to come out of the "post Scream" slasher trend. We get a classic set up (nerd gets revenge on girls who bullied them in high school), great cast, fun death scenes and a fantastic twist ending.
Valentine
Valentine's Day, hospital set slasher that is actually a touch boring. The opening scene of Valentine is a nod to this film.
