Perfect cast and a good story

One of the best films i have seen

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Never ever ever ever say no to prom date. Just don't, that is my advice to you all. If you do say no...well you might get kidnapped, injected with some blue liquid that prevents you from talking, skull getting drilled in, feet getting nailed...and sucking on a crazy girl's finger whilst she continuously asks "is it finger licking good!?". Whaaaaaaaat the actual heck. I have NEVER been so uncomfortable watching a film in my life (and this was my second viewing). I constantly kept saying "sure, it can't get any more weird right?"...well I was wrong, multiple times. This...this girl is absolutely insane. The very definition of a psychopath. I can only assume a lonely childhood with a hint of an incestual relationship with "daddy" is to blame here. Also, I don't think listening to "Am I Not Pretty Enough" is helping her...just saying. Our protagonist played by Xavier Samuel had a rough night. There's no two ways about it, and I thought he actually gave a good performance. The gore is present but it's actually the sounds of screaming and bone crunching that truly terrifies me. My problem with the film, is the tonal inconsistencies. Is it meant to be a horror or a black comedy? I don't know, it's not clear. Whilst Xavier Samuel is having a blast with stalker psychopath, his friend is at prom with your typical "rock chick" who likes smoking pot and banging her head to screamo music. A lot of humorous scenes, but it felt too different with what was happening elsewhere and for me didn't work. In addition, the plot gets slightly stupid as the film goes on. The beginning was great, there's a melancholic atmosphere...but then it goes into the realm of unbelievability. It's a ridiculous little gem of a film, well shot and gory...but my overall feel is slightly mixed. If you like gory films, give it a try!

This is about a guy in high school who gets asked to the prom by a girl but he turns her down because he's already seeing someone else. Turns out he turned the wrong girl down.I don't mind gore and I don't mind psycho killer films, though they aren't my favorite horror flavor. I just don't like films that are so, so, slow and drawwwwwn out. I ended up fast forwarding this around the 50-minute mark just to get to the interesting bits and then on to the ending. I couldn't put up with it anymore. There are good bits and funny bits and the acting is okay for the most part, but I found the in-between bits so irritatingly boring and a drawn out snoozefest of artistic and pretentious film-making. In short - it did my head in!I've given this a generous 4/10. I wanted to give it 2/10 but I thought I would have been rating it with my emotions rather than with an objective mind. I honestly think the 6.7 rating for this is far too high, but then, that's only my opinion. A lot of people really seem to like this film.

The Loved Ones was a film that I went into blind. As someone who usually doesn't find too much enjoyment in torture porn-films, I was pleasantly surprised to find an uncommon amount of character and excellent acting, along with the aforementioned merciless barbarism. While the characters aren't anything to write home about, they were realized with a surprising amount of efficiency. We never entirely understand the motives of the characters, but in this case, it doesn't make the film any less enjoyable. All of the characters are quite flawed and all of their imperfections are made clear through interesting, and often disturbing, interactions. The characters were surprisingly dimensional for a movie like this, and that was mostly thanks to the performances. Robin McLeavy, in particular, was uncompromisingly sinister. Despite being a teenage girl, it was not hard to despise her character, which is important for the main villain. The violence is nightmarishly sadistic, and as the film reaches one narrative twist after another, it only grows more intense, as does our thirst for revenge. You never quite know where the plot is going, and each new horrifying development feels like a punch to the gut. The film doesn't waste time either. We're thrust into the nightmare quite early, giving the feeling of sickness in our stomach time to linger. Moments of dark comedy also work to make the experience strangely amusing. Despite the rather polished main plot line, there is a secondary strand of narrative that feels unnecessary and frankly pointless. It never goes anywhere and only seems to be there for something to cut to when the audience needs a break from the cruelty. The Loved Ones repeatedly batters the audience with it's stomach-churning violence. The plot takes many sharp narrative turns, and while it's not always enjoyable to watch a film so unflinchingly deranged, it's certainly invigorating, up until our thirst for revenge is so satisfyingly quenched.

Well, A lot of people hate this film for some reasons like they found Lola (Robin McLeavy) annoying rather than a Psychologically crazy person and they describe the film as "lazy" but I can't help myself to love this film.But there is a minor problem about this film, the subplot between Holly and the goth girl. I don't know about what's the purpose of that subplot but that doesn't ruin the film for me I just can't figure out what's the purpose of the subplot. Also some people found that the film less gory but I think it has enough gore and violence. The atmosphere of the film really works on me too.
