Seth proposes, by their second date, that Veronica should have exclusive book rights to the mechanism’s development, and the characters are on screen together for almost the entire film. He should have watched the episode “The Enemy Within,” because soon he is as reliable as a housefly. He brags about his motion sickness, which can cause a nosebleed at the slightest velocity change, shows her his closet of identical suits, and introduces her to his baboon friends.įinally, he pulls out the big guns, basically inventing the teleporter from Star Trek. He tries to flirt as best as a scientist can. Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) is a socially awkward scientist who thinks he can change the world. Veronica Quaife (Geena Davis) is a reporter for a science journal looking for a story. Released at the height of the AIDS crisis, the sci-fi horror film is a moving tale of courtship, honeymoon, and tragedy. Body-horror has never been more tender, or more effective as an allegory for losing a loved one to terminal illness. – David Crow The Fly (1986)ĭavid Cronenberg’s The Flyhas more Love Story DNA than it does from the 1958 B-Movie classic it is based on. Plus, the songs are still pretty ear-wormy and Emmy Rossum makes a compelling leading lady debut as the young soprano, Christine Daeé.

And yet, Joel Schumacher’s sumptuous adaptation for the screen is the most romantic Phantom film, not least of all because it is the first movie to keep Leroux’s tragic ending in which a love that cannot be between a disfigured musical genius and his ingenue muse redeems, if not saves, a life. It’s not the best film version of this tale (that would likely be the 1925 silent classic starring Lon Chaney Sr.), nor is it technically the best way to experience Webber’s music when it’s so much more luscious on stage. But the best to set hearts aflutter-and then tear them asunder with glorious tragedy-is the rather gaudy 2004 big screen adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber stage musical. One of the great Gothic horror romances ever conceived for the page, Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera novel from 1911, lived on to haunt the whole 20th century with various adaptations and chillers. She outlives her immortal count, and raises the film to romantic tragedy in epic goth fashion. From the shy and suspicious bride-to-be, promised to Harker, to the carnal longing for an endless love.

He suspects his wife has reincarnated in the body of Mina Harker, and she greets him with “Come to me, my handsome prince.” Winona Ryder brings the arc of a full love story to her every response. No amount of blood can drown his grief, even as he finally ventures out of his castle to start over in England. While he was in battle against the Turks, his beloved wife Elisabeta was tricked into jumping to her death with false news of his demise. Long before Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) flipped the unique fixer-upper at Carfax Abbey, Count Dracula (Gary Oldman) had been pining for a love that spanned centuries. It has two things going for it: Francis Ford Coppola as a director, and a sad and fateful letter in its prelude. But it is Bram Stoker’s Dracula, from 1992, which is best remembered as a lovelorn classic. Count Dracula was always sexy and there has always been a romantic heart beating in the undead chest of the former Transylvanian warrior.
This was repeated in 1979, when Frank Langella recreated his erotically charged stage role in the film adaptation. The 1931 film Dracula opened on Valentine’s Day 1931, after two months of promos from Universal Pictures calling it “The story of the strangest passion the world has ever known” and ads promising “The kiss no woman could resist.” Bela Lugosi was a sex symbol on Broadway in the role of a debonair blood-sucking vampire. So why not snuggle up with your loved one/dog/blanket/ice cold heart and check out these romantic chillers? You’ll find no Twilight here.
Some are doomed, if that is your bag, but others are actually kind of happy endings if you can live with some corpses on the way. Or alternatively, it’s Valentine’s Day! Hooray! Whether you’re an old romantic or you’re in the ‘love sucks’ camp, we have such sights for you, in this list of genuinely excellent horror movies which are also love stories.
