Anti-Valentine’s aka the ‘Bad Romance’ collection on Max
Not in the mood for the usual Valentine's Day romance? Max is here to cater to your tastes with thrillers and dramas about love's darker aspects. For those who prefer a bit of edge to their entertainment, Joker: Folie à Deux and Love Lies Bleeding promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.

But let's not forget the classics! Fatal Attraction and Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! stand the test of time with their depictions of love that spiral into something much more disturbing. They're a stark reminder that romance isn't always roses and chocolates. IndieWire has already given a thumbs-up to The Undoing.
Other selections in the Bad Romance collection include Blood Simple, Killing Me Softly, The Piano Teacher, and The Swimming Pool. True crime enthusiasts can look into Investigation Discovery’s S*x & Murder, Married to Evil, and Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry? for real-life cautionary tales about romance gone wrong.
