Just because a horror movie is splattered in blood or has a chainsaw-wielding maniac running around doesn’t mean that there isn’t romance involved. In the face of great tragedy or unspeakable horrors, humans are always capable of forming a lifelong connection that transcends even the most assured death. Can you think of a more romantic setting than a zombie apocalypse where everyone you once knew is now a flesh-eating zombie? Or how about inside a laboratory where the laws of nature no longer apply? Love has the ability to grow anywhere. You just need to know where to look.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a horror-comedy that had as much heart and charm as Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is a horror-comedy film that flips the typical slasher genre on its head. It tells the story of two well-meaning hillbillies, Tucker and Dale, who are mistaken for killers by a group of college students. As misunderstandings escalate, a series of hilarious and gory events unfold, showcasing the absurdity of the situation. The film cleverly mixes humor with horror, ultimately highlighting themes of friendship and the dangers of preconceived notions.. The film walks a very blurry line between being a zany, over-the-top comedy and being a blood-filled slasher. Similar to Cabin in the Woods, this movie takes the cliche of college kids on a weekend camping trip and turns it on its head. The story follows the adventures of titular characters Tucker and Dale, played by Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk, two friendly pals who are heading to the woods to work on their fixer-upper cabin. On their way there, they run into a rowdy group of college kids who mistake the two buddies for redneck psychopaths hellbent on doing them harm. After Tucker and Dale encounter the college kids a second time, all logic flies out the window and the coeds freak out, causing a chain reaction of hilarious and gory high jinks.

Caught in the middle of all the mayhem is an adorable story of romance between Dale and one of the coeds. In something resembling a Beauty and The Beast tale, the two lovebirds realize that they have more in common than meets the eye. Despite the seemingly inescapable horrors that now surround them, the pair try their best to not only survive, but stay alive long enough to give their relationship a chance.

Shaun of the Dead

Nobody ever claimed that growing up would be an enjoyable experience. But navigating that journey during a zombie apocalypse? What a drag. This is precisely the scenario presented in Edgar Wright's 2004 horror-comedy, Shaun of the Dead. The film centers around Shaun (played by Simon Pegg), a thirty-something retail employee who is quite satisfied with his unremarkable existence, often spending his evenings drinking with his best mate Ed (Nick Frost) at their local pub. However, when Shaun's girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) ends their relationship due to his lack of ambition, it serves as the much-needed wake-up call he's been ignoring for far too long. With a zombie apocalypse erupting around him, Shaun finds himself in the midst of a hilariously chaotic situation.

While attempting to avoid having his brains being served as dinner for some ravenous zombies, Shaun is able to get some serious soul-searching done. With the world literally falling apart around him, Shaun recommits to Liz and does whatever it takes to make it out alive. Like most Edgar Wright films, there are plenty of laughs and well-choreographed set pieces that are a joy to watch. But deep down, Shaun of the Dead is a very human story with a very relatable romance at its core.

Springtime

This one may be a little too on the nose, but it’s so well done that it’s too hard to ignore. Springtime tells the story of Evan (Lou Taylor Pucci), a young man who has seen his entire personal life go up in flames. In an attempt to take a step back and reassess the world, Evan travels to Italy and lets loose. While there, he meets the beautiful Louise (Nadia Hilker) and the two eventually begin a budding relationship. But unbeknownst to Evan, Louise is hiding a dark and vicious secret that not only puts their relationship in danger, but his life as well.

When stripped down to its core, Springtime plays out like any romantic film where a troubled and lost American falls in love with an attractive European person and massive sparks follow. But the film is a lot more than just a forbidden love story. Deep down, both Evan and Louise are searching for who they truly are on the inside. While they each have two completely different backgrounds, they share a common struggle. Springtime is a sweet and touching movie disguised as a horror thriller.

Post Midnight

When discussing relationships, opinions often diverge into two main perspectives: some believe that certain relationships are simply not meant to last and shouldn't require too much effort, while others feel that the most fulfilling relationships are those that are worth the struggle. Life can be quite challenging, and regardless of where you stand on this debate, one undeniable truth is that every relationship is unique. For Hank (Jeremy Gardner), his decade-long romance with his former girlfriend Abby (Brea Grant) represents some of the happiest times in his life. However, as he starts to reminisce about their time together, a relentless monster begins to invade his home under the cover of night.

As a low-budget film, Post Midnight is a great example of working with what’s available. The movie isn’t a large spectacle with jaw-dropping visuals and never-before-seen special effects. And it doesn’t have to be. Post Midnight may be a film about a monster on screen, but behind the scenes it’s about something all too real to just about everybody. The disintegration of a relationship is not only tough to go through emotionally, but it can take a physical toll on you as well. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the moments that you did have together.

Ownership

Ownership is not like many other films that you’ve seen before. The 1981 film from Polish filmmaker Andrzej Żuławski is certainly a sight to behold, but it’s not an easy watch. The film stars Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani as married couple Mark and Anna. On the outside, they might appear to be in an ordinary relationship. However, when we first get to see the couple interact, it’s clear that their relationship has seen better days. In fact, the relationship is seemingly beyond repair. But over the course of the film’s 124-minute run time, all logic is ignored and we are taken on a wild rollercoaster ride of pure emotions and electric performances, especially from Adjani.

Ownership may be a hard pill to swallow for some viewers. It takes the worst traits of a toxic and explosive relationship and multiplies it by a million. But despite the chaos and despite the alarming behavior, it is all impossible to look away from. Deep down, there is clearly love between Mark and Anna. But beyond that, there is nothing but despair inside their relationship. So why is it so hard to walk away?

The Insect

What do you get when you cross the twisted mind of David Cronenberg with the charming wit of Jeff Goldblum? Pure romance, obviously. A remake of the classic B-movie of the same name, The Insect tells the story of Seth Brundle, played by Goldblum. Despite his obvious brilliance in the lab, Seth certainly has his flaws, which all come to a head when he meets Ronnie Quaife (Geena Davis), a journalist who takes an interest in him. When Seth shows Ronnie his teleportation invention, the two quickly see a chance for greatness and continue to take the device until they are met with unsightly consequences.

The Insect follows a pretty basic romantic movie structure when you think about it: A man meets a beautiful woman and is smitten with her. In an attempt to impress her, he shows off his abilities and the two eventually madly fall in love. However, like every great love story, jealousy creeps its way in and things take a tragic turn, ultimately leading to heartbreak. In this case, that heartbreak includes turning into a disgusting humanoid-fly creature. Isn’t love just wonderful?
