10 Horror Movie Characters Who BARELY Survived
3. Brent - The Loved Ones
The criminally underappreciated horror comedy The Loved Ones follows Brent (Xavier Samuel), a teenage boy who is preyed upon by Lola (Robin McLeavy), a fellow student with some seriously unhinged romantic designs on him.
When Brent rejects her invitation to the school formal, she teams up with her dad Eric (John Brumpton) to kidnap Brent and subject him to a litany of squirm-inducing torture.
This begins where most torture might end, with Lola injecting Brent's voice box with bleach, obliterating his vocal cords and leaving him unable to scream for help.
From there, Brent is psychologically abused, has his feet pinned to the floor with knives after trying to escape, and has Lola's initials branded onto his chest.
But worst of all, Lola drills a hole into Brent's skull with the intent of lobotomising him by pouring boiling water into said hole - a fate he mercifully manages to avoid by fighting back and eventually killing Lola and Eric, but only just.
