What critics compared The Loved Ones to
The movies that obviously inspired Fresh range from the likes of American Psycho , Silence of the Lambs , and the dark disturbing prom night horror in The Loved Ones .
Sequences of dance are also a repeated motif here, as is an ‘80s-heavy power ballad soundtrack, lending the film a dissonant texture that, while different in the particulars, reminds of something like the unhinged lunacy of Sean Byrne’s The Loved Ones.
Think of the creep-factor of Lake Mungo (2008) mixed with the violence of The Loved Ones (2009) and the emotion of The Babadook (2014) and Relic (2020).
