Movies like My Bloody Valentine

Scream is a modern homage to the slasher genre that would appeal to fans of My Bloody Valentine for its self-aware approach and high body count. With its memorable Ghostface killer and clever references to horror movie clichés, it offers both chills and chuckles.

Black Christmas is a pioneering slasher flick that predates My Bloody Valentine and set the stage for the genre with its festive horror taking place during a holiday, much like the latter's Valentine's Day theme. Suspense and psychological terror drive this story of sorority sisters stalked by an unseen killer.

A Nightmare on Elm Street offers a blend of supernatural and slasher elements, creating an eerie atmosphere similar to My Bloody Valentine. Freddy Krueger's iconic presence brought an inventive twist to the genre, terrorizing teenagers in their dreams.

Fans of My Bloody Valentine's mining town slasher theme might also enjoy Friday the 13th, a cornerstone of the genre where camp counselors are stalked by an unseen killer. The survival horror set in the isolated Camp Crystal Lake delivers a mix of suspense, shock, and gore.

Prom Night provides another high school horror setting that resonates with the Valentine's Day dance in My Bloody Valentine. The film builds suspense as a mysterious stalker targets a group of teenagers responsible for a tragic accident, leading to a climactic and deadly reunion.

The Prowler is another early 80s slasher that flies under the radar but delivers on themes similar to My Bloody Valentine. This movie focuses on a killer in WWII army gear, methodically targeting college graduates, which parallels the miner's outfit and the small-town backdrop of My Bloody Valentine.
