Holidays (2016): This is a fantastic anthology spanning different…holidays. The film opens with a Valentine’s Day vignette about a schoolgirl crush gone wrong. Come for love, stay for the terror.

Into The Dark: Down (2019): This horror-thriller takes place almost entirely in an elevator. That is terrifying enough.

Jennifer and Guy find themselves stuck in an elevator on Valentine’s Day and the building will be empty over a long holiday weekend. How did it happen? How will they get out and is there something more sinister at play? Our suggestion is to not watch the trailer. Half the fun is trying to figure out what is going on.
