Watch The Loved Ones For Free

That was an excellent one.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Excellent but underrated film

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

There are many torture movies out there. Some are just brutal, some actually have a story, and some are just pointless torture flicks. This one has somewhat of a story. But unlike most torture films this one not only has a story about the main character but also somewhat of a comical side story about a friend of the main character which has only slight connections to the main character but nothing to do with the main story line. This movie is very entertaining though. I had many parts that I found funny, and many parts that made me cringe.

This started out great, but once it turned into the torture porn, it became too gruesome since there was zero backstory to any of characters. We don't need "explanations" to people's mental illness, but we do some understanding. She was looking for her prince/her dad, didn't find him, so she...tortures guys? Why? Leaves them brainless? Why? Tosses them in her cellar to live like animals? Why? When someone escapes from a maniac, why would you run outside...and climb a tree? Just puzzling and very dumb, even for a horror film. And then when someone has his feet nailed to the floor and a hole drilled in his head...he still has the ability to fight back, walk across a floor, do a full-body pull-up out of a cellar, drive a car (broken, shredded feet pushing the pedal to the metal to the speed of 140 mph)??? And so on.Yeah, just another dumb horror movie but so well made and acted that I hope the hope the director (who just released Devil's Candy which I've no seen) moves more into the thriller/suspense genre. He won't always have to put the silly, implausible stuff I mentioned. He can focus on the characters.

Spoiler Alert: this film is b-o-r-i-n-g. In fact, I'm already considering knocking off one star from my 4-star rating, to reinforce my annoyance.Sean Byrne, the director and screenwriter, seems not to be aware of a cardinal rule for good horror movies: if you're intending to shock the audience, don't telegraph what's about to happen with with a neon sign, such as: If you're a high school kid at a dance with a hot drunken girl who huskily tells you, "F**k me", DO drive off the school grounds before getting naked and nasty in the back seat of your car. (A face at the car window! Horrors, is it the maniac? Or, is it the disapproving teacher at your car door, because... you know, you're still in the school parking lot, moron.) If you're the young hero in the clutches of bloodthirsty maniacs, and you've been let in on the secret of what happened to all those other nice-but-now-missing teens, and then see an abattoir full of what you imagine are unspeakable horrors, and then manage to free yourself your bonds—the second time, because you were too inept to escape the first time—and then manage to disable both your tormentors, DON'T lean over the edge, unbalanced, and stare into the pit of horrors, unaware of who we all know is creeping up behind you to do you know what.This movie makes you want to yell the equivalent of "For chrissake don't go in the dark basement, you twit!" a score of times before the film is even halfway over. At that point, I gave up, shrugged, and judged our young hero as a "Darwin Award front-runner".Maybe Mr. Byrne intended this to be a comic send-up of teen slasher movies; then again, perhaps Australian horror movie heroes haven't yet learned that when you've escaped from an insane killer you run like hell as far as you can, and you never count your nemesis down and out until you've put 15 bullets into his head, set fire to him, then blown up what's left with high explosives.

I've seen a lot of horror films and I swear, none so far was disgusting until I decided to watch this movie! It was very dark and hideous, it actually reminded me a bit of Carrie like how the girl Lola was denied from Brent on saying no to being his date for prom. It was very creepy, disturbing and destroying to know that her father got involved in her horrific actions. He must've sexually abused her as a child, no wonder she is messed up but if that was the case, then she should know how deeply wrong that trying to kill someone is cruel. I would love to know this girls back story in the film! Especially her poor mother, god what has they done to her?! I was very surprised to see there was no police in this but only a police car which made no sense to me! At least Brent survived and went back to Holly. Of course, Lola being killed for being a monster...
