10 Horror Movies Remembered For One Amazing Scene
9. The Hot Tub - Valentine
Valentine centres around five women who are sorting out their love lives just before Valentine's Day. But after receiving disgusting love letters, the girls learn they're being stalked by a serial killer wearing a Cupid mask.
Valentine is like most slashers - predictable, formulaic, badly acted, and forgettable. (Even if you've seen it, you may have forgotten the killer's identity because the "big reveal" left zero impression.)
But there is one kill that's definitely worth looking at. While Paige (Denise Richards) relaxes in a hot tub, Cupid seals her inside with the covering sheet. Although Cupid could just leave her to drown, the killer toys with Paige by drilling through the covering, hoping to impale her. Although Paige tries to avoid being stabbed, she needs to use the drill holes to breathe. Because of this, her only means of survival is to get as dangerously close to the very weapon Cupid is using against her.
After Cupid gets bored, he opens the covering and tosses the drill in, electrocuting Paige to death. Because the rest of Valentine is a bit of a bummer, it feels like the creative team behind the movie put all their best ideas into this one scene.
