10 Obscure Horror Movies You Need To Discover
8. The Loved Ones (2009)
The Loved Ones is an Australian horror/thriller starring a guy from Twilight:Eclipse (Xavier Samuel). Thats how I pitched this to my wife to get her to watch it. As true as that statement is, I may have left out the fact that its a pretty warped prom movie with some brutal torture scenes thrown in. I love this movie, and it's just nice to see something so refreshing and unique. Our villain here is Lola, and she will go to any length to get her perfect prom we get a glimpse into her past dates gone wrong and we get to see some very simple methods of inflicting pain on poor Brent (Samuel). Everyday household items such as knives, bleach and a drill are just some of the things the evil Lola introduces Brent too.
Throw in some escape attempts and a few curve balls and what we get is a very entertaining and different type of film. Sure, it may be slightly far-fetched in the lengths the lead female will go to in order to have her perfect prom, but it's so worth looking past that and enjoying The Loved Ones for what it is.
