Wipe your tears and get some popcorn!

If you are struggling to make it through a heartbreak, don’t rush to watch all these dramas about unhappy love and loneliness. Instead of it, remind yourself that you have strength and light inside your own heart, and these horrors will help you to do it.

Here are 5 horror gems to get over a breakup, handpicked by Reddit.

1. Midsommar (2019)

Reddit’s first choice is, probably, the most notorious horror that comes to mind in this respect. Florence Pugh and Jack Reynor here portray a troubled couple who attend a festival in rural Sweden and end up being involved in a cult. Be sure you’ll feel better and even more confident after seeing the relentless finale of this folk film.

2. You're Next (2011)

Next comes a slasher that proves that sometimes women can be stronger and more courageous than their partners. The plot revolves around Erin, who is invited to her boyfriend’s family dinner party that gets interrupted by a group of masked assailants. She becomes the only person who isn’t afraid to confront the attackers and to beat them.

3. Ready or Not (2019)

This flick is quite similar to the previous one, as here we also have a young woman capable of fighting against a group of enemies hunting for her. But the point is that they appear to be her spouse's wealthy family who do it as a part of a sophisticated wedding ritual. However, their plans will be destroyed by the badass female lead.

4. Jennifer's Body (2009)

Here is a comedy horror that also turns out to be a perfect choice to heal your wounds with its high-class humor and the strength of the protagonists. Starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, it follows a high school student possessed by a demon, who kills her male classmates. Her friend tries to end her bloodlust; but will it be successful?

5. Fresh (2022)

Finally, we have Daisy Edgar-Jones and Sebastian Stan ’s horror that can make you stop dating at all (just kidding). It centers on a young woman who goes on a date with a mysterious man who is quick to invite her to a romantic weekend getaway. She accepts it only to realize soon that he has darker motifs lying behind his initial interest in her.
