10 Great Horror Romance Movies For The Loved And Lost

Like the entry on Christine noted, romance isn't all daisies and roses. Relationships are hard, and a mistake many movies make is not addressing actual hardships. Instead, they usually opt for an overly naïve look at romance or throw in contrived drama for no reason.

Wounds takes a more realistic look at things. This isn't a happy-go-lucky view of relationships. Rather, it uses the sub-genre of cosmic horror to explore toxicity.

Armie Hammer's protagonist, Will, is not a good boyfriend because he is not a good person. He feels devoid of meaning and is looking for fulfillment in all the wrong places. At first, it may seem that his girlfriend is unnecessarily critical and paranoid, but soon you come to understand that she has a good reason for it.

The title says it all. Will has a big, bleeding wound inside of him called self-loathing. He hates himself, and searches for the cure for that hate outside, in others and in alcohol, when he should be looking inward and reflecting.

We're being told by the movie to do what Will refuses to do. Sometimes, we're the toxic one in a relationship, and if we don't recognize that and work on it, the only path left for us is one of damnation.
