Insane Aussie horror ‘The Loved Ones’ from back in 2009 is getting a second wind stateside by screening at this years South by Southwest Film Festival. The violent, yet awesome, Sean Byrne film will be showing at 9pm this evening (9 March) at the Alamo Village courtesy of Paramount Insurge. The movie stars some excellent performances – particularly from ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ star Robin McLeavy and ‘Daddy’ John Brumpton. It’s a twisted and uneasy tale of one girls wish to go to prom which falls apart when her ‘ideal date’ Brett turns her down. You can view the poster for the event below and if you’re in the vicinity make sure you go and check it out.
“Lola Stone asked Brent Mitchell to the prom, but Brent said no, and now he’s screwed. What happens when Lola doesn’t get what she wants? She enlists Daddy’s help to throw a prom of her own, where she is queen and Brent is king — whether he likes it or not. THE LOVED ONES is what happens when puppy love goes horribly, violently wrong. Brent should have said yes.”
