Trailer of the Day: The Loved Ones


Hell hath no fury like a woman scored — and her father — in this tense tale of terror from Australia. Brent (Xavier Samuel) is driving home late one night with his father when he swerves after seeing something in the road. The car spins out of control, and moments later Brent’s dad is dead. Brent is wracked with guilt over the incident, and sinks into a deep depression, only beginning to sort out his feelings when he begins dating one of his classmates, a pretty and nurturing girl named Holly (Victoria Thaine). However, another young woman at school, Lola (Robin McLeavy), has taken an interest in Brent, going so far as to ask him to escort her to an upcoming dance. Loyal Brent turns Lola down, but he learns the hard way she doesn’t handle disappointment well. Lola and her wealthy father (John Brumpton) force Brent to attend a private party at a cottage in the woods, where he’s the only guest and Lola and her dad mete out brutal punishment for daring to hurt her feelings. – Rotten Tomatoes

Whoa…that looks pretty sick. I guess the lengths a insane father will go to for his insane daughter’s happiness knows no bounds. This Australian film was finished in 2009 and I think it was released in Australia back in 2010 but it is just now making it’s way to U.S. shores and I can’t wait till it comes out. That scene of Dad sprinkling glitter over his little girl and her captive date was so creepy.

    1. Looks cool, doesn’t it? Can’t believe it has taken this long to get a studio to release it over here.
