Brent is an ordinary guy who gets into
a car accident with his father. A few months later, we learn that his
dad died in the accident and that he's about ready to go to prom with
his girlfriend Holly. He also uses pot and mutilation to get through
the bad times, and he recently turned down an offer by this girl Lola
to go to the prom with him.
While at the prom, he gets knocked out
when something hits him from behind. He wakes up to find himself tied
to a chair in Lola's house with her dad and another woman. The woman
clearly had a lobotomy and now has a vacant look on her face, and the
dad seems willing to do anything that Lola wants him to do.
I have seen a lot of horror movies over
the years, and Lola is one of the most fucked up characters of all
time. Among the acts that she commits on Brent are:
-She throws salt on wounds that she
inflicts
-She and her father nail Brent's feet
to the floor
-She gives him an injection of bleach
so he can't talk or cry
-She drills a hole in his head to give
him a lobotomy
“The Loved Ones” is so wicked that
I made enough “agh” and “ack” sounds that my roommate came
in, watched five minutes, and decided that he had to watch it over
again from the very beginning. The first ¾ of the film are easily
the best. It keeps you on your toes, wondering what could possibly
happen next. The ending is slightly predictable, and it falters a
little when Holly suddenly pops back up in the film, but it
definitely makes you wonder why foreign countries have such better
horror films than we do.
