Very intense horror movie, awesome soundtrack and nice vivid colours, totally appropriate, especially pink to depict the disturbed personality of Lola and his father. Enough blood and violence, good feelings always leading the goods to find a light in the night.

i don't like seeing storys who doesn't make any sense to the main-story, but it was a very nice & sick movie - also a bit kind of funny..!

Here we have an entry into the so-called "torture porn" I actually liked. Having characters you like and care about helps *hint hint* The filmmaker also has fun and satirizes the material not unlike films like SAW or Hostel. Who take what do way too seriously and feature characters you don't give a fuck about, so seeing them brutalized really becomes tedious and boring.

Sadistic Australian-made horror slasher with a nice air of unpredictability to it. Considering its small budget, this is a slick looking film. With bright pink colors and cheery music mixes with blood and guts are a perfect counterpoint. It made the pink color, SCARY! The violence was shown just above the minimal which then adds to the realism of the film. Lots of suspense and fun with a morbid sense of humour.

Somewhere in there is a really great short film. Fails miserably as a feature.

matteo I'm perplexed. Rod Armstrong, the San Francisco International Film Festival director of programming, introduced the movie at the Castro Theater tonight as "The best horror since The Descent", which is definitely NOT the case (note: I truly respect and admire Armstrong's expertise). Demented, deranged, over-the-top, well shot: yes. Innovative... Original, hmmm, nope. This is the Australian equivalent of Steven Sheil's "Mum & Dad" (2008): torture porn galore in a nasty family setting but there is not much else. "Martyrs" and "Hostel" offered a much broader narrative. "Inside" was a clever revenge story. "High Tension" subverted several conventions of the genre. "The Loved Ones" is purely sadistic. And no, it does not really succeed as a mash-up of "Carrie" and "The Evil Dead"
