Plot – Spoilers:
Brent is still dealing with the afterglow of an accident that killed his dad. So he indulges in cutting and edging suicide, until he realizes that he values his life when he winds up bound to a chair for having politely refused classmate Lola’s prom invite.
Lola lives with her braindead mother and a crazed father whom she’s got wrapped around her fingers. And the two have been killing boys from back when Lola was a little girl.
The Loved Ones has fun with its violence and doesn’t shy away from the ridiculous, like when the father-daughter couple throw rocks at Brent to bring him down from a tree he just climbed to escape their crazy selves. The victims are also just stupid enough to remain victims.
Random Trivia:
Gary George, an Australian man who killed his friend, allegedly copied scenes from The Loved Ones while torturing his mate.
Some very enjoyable screw tightening and releases, with foxy chicks to boot.
TERRIFIC !!! The most satisfying horror I’ve seen so far in the in the A to L section, but no doubt there are more gems to come.
The girl resembled Charlotte Church a little when Charlotte was that age!
The film typically had horrendous songs, which I’ve come to expect in horror films, apart from ‘Not Pretty Enough’ by Kasey Chambers, which was wonderful !
Gore lover girl is cute!
Interesting movie. Good torture scenes, interesting plot, thirlling to watch. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a good torture scray movie.
a teen flick kinda horror but well-made and fun to watch. another Aussie movie that i enjoyed.
Yowwweh Robin is hot shit,she can gobble my knob anytime yeaaah
Awesome movie 🍿 lots of violence, Robin McLeavy reminds me of A Young Slimmer Younger Sexy Jennifer Tilly…… Actors are great, Lunatic Family Real Killers, Torture is a Favorite pass time…… thanks EFFED UP…..
I’d say more like a young Charlotte Church.
Was a good one
it’s a good little movie.
Very impressed! A worthwhile watch.
great movie not to heavy to watch while you are fuckin with other things on your desk …the musical back ground is great ..the dude who is dating the stoner is great …I. give it a thumbs up not to be missed
I actually liked Sean Byrne’s other movie – The Devil’s Candy – more than this one. and its a short watch too
Yes… yes!!! So glad to finally see this gem on EUM!! truly one of the greats.
one of my favorite movies !!
Feminist movie of all time. love this
the most disturbing thing i’ve seen on this site is that statement.
Bruh… how so?
Great film.. definitely worth the watch
great movie
Lola’s so beautiful . . . Any man would be lucky to be her boyfriend.
degenerate
Well… she looks alright not covered in blood, he didn’t say anything about her character ^^
Ooh, I liked that a lot more than I expected
It was pretty damn good, wasn’t it? After watching Prisoners on this site, seeing our protagonist get up out of that underground dungeon was cathartic! And so was that internal symmetry at the close of the film.
This one’s got style
Fun film, effects good, disappointing ending. Would recommend.
Fantastic! thanks for adding this one

Thanks for sharing!
Good Movie …EFM … Well worth the watch!
