A Quick Rant About The Loved Ones

A Truly Demented Masterpiece. Who do they think they are kidding? Really disappointed with The Loved Ones (Dir. Sean Byrne). Listen up: It doesn't matter how much intellectuality you use, that doesn't make the film any good if you have nothing interesting to bring or say about the genre in the first place. The film is all over the place.
The sub-plots at the prom with his friend was from a totally different film. The goth girl's back story i clearly don't buy. The guy she attends the prom with is a totally douche-bag. He has no personality, no charm and also WHY DO ALL TEENAGERS IN COMEDYS NOW HAVE TO BE THE SAME STOCK CHARACTER AS JOHAH HILL? Most shockingly, to sum up the reason she gets stoned, drunk, masturbates the prick in the middle of the dance floor- then later fuck him is because of her missing brother! BULLSHIT. Wide generalizing goth's and emo's being deeply troubled and do what they do because of family problems i don't buy. Hey some people admire the music, clothes, culture etc. Not all people have to be boardline suicidal.   Also  whats up with the car sex scenes. Nearly everyone (who is important in the film) has sex in a car. Especially a prolonged, unnecessary, misjudged extended sex scene in the beginning with Xavier Samuel. Don't people have sex in bedroom's anymore?

It really sad for many reasons. The color tone throughout the piece is really amazing. It really makes Australia look like an old 80's American Town. There are some cool shots like Princess crawling to the car. But honestly i totally am unfulfilled. I also don't buy that Xavier Samuel can be drilled in the forehead, severely sliced all over his chest and having a knife stuck in between his feet and magically he can still fight, kill and drive. BULLSHIT ALERT! Are you sure this isn't written in his contact that he cannot die- let's just say to secure the interest of the Twilight audience?

2/5
