The Loved Ones (2010)
In order to avoid a ghostly figure in the road, high school senior Brent wraps his car around a tree, killing his father. Constantly confronted by his mother's emotional collapse after the accident, Brent escapes into a marijuana fueled world to block the pain and guilt. Dejected and out of it, he has a shot at happiness with his girlfriend Holly, a grounded, caring girl with drop dead good looks, a dream date for the high school prom. But his plans are thwarted by a disturbing series of events. (imdb)

Small, mildly entertaining, well acted, almost torture-porn movie. I guess the hype came from the psychotic being a woman rather than a man, but this has been done before and much better.

I honestly don't think it's fair to call this torture porn. Sure there is torture, but there's also far more substance than the torture porn sub-genre is known to have. The script reinvents itself often enough to stay fresh, the protagonist is well defined with little dialogue, and the exploration of familial love, both lost and twisted, are all elevating factors.

Technically well-crafted but it's another movie about psychotic torturers. And they don't tie very good knots, so it's easy to escape, but of course if the movie's only half over you're going to get recaptured, etc. Making the villain a girl and the victim a boy isn't enough of an innovation to hang a movie on. The material is so thin that they added a B-plot that never amounts to anything or ties back up to the main story. It's just there to make this a feature instead of a short.

Maybe too sadistic and not satirical enough for me. That being said, every cut, smash, drill, etc. has real weight. Byrne is major, even if this is, I think, not nearly that good when compared to The Devil's Candy.

This is one twisted movie. I liked the idea that the last people you'd expect are the psychos, and they get to win quite a lot. And their torture is truly no-holds-barred. However, the pacing was off in this movie, Act 1 took too long, and there were distracting characters who added very little. So I wasn't fully on board until quite a bit later than I'd like. Plaudits for the acting and for originality, although the plot was let down again by the deus-ex ending. Cool idea but average execution.

Sean Byrne has given two extremely effective horror films that succeed in making the audience squirm. In this first outing, a strong female antagonist powers the film through some gnarly gore and bizarre family dynamics. Another reason I'm a coffee fan over tea.

It could be the fact that I first saw this in 2017, but the fact that it was torture porn was a little disappointing. However, it did cause a feeling of horror beyond cringe. Like, even the creepy girl asking him out gave me chills. You ever say no to someone who you know just isn't accepting no as an answer? It's real spooky. Anyway, this film captures that weird relationship horror really well and goes beyond the usual stalk and slash route. But damn, was the market ever bloated with TP.

I thought I had this movie pegged so it sat idle on my watchlist for several years. I was wrong. No one could have this movie pegged. It goes from crazy to crazier. It is completely different than what I thought it would be the entire time. It is deeply disturbing and very hard to watch. There was a poppy song played throughout the movie that I had stuck in my head when it was over. The song reminded me of the disturbing experience, and this cycle continued to engage me hours after watching.

Horrific but silly, with a totally irrelevant side-plot. Should appeal to people who are content with watching stylized, graphic torture porn whatever the level of writing may be.
