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.
Leviticus pertenece a una tradición particularmente fértil del cine australiano de terror, heredera de películas como The Babadook, The Loved Ones, Cargo y Talk to Me.
Byrne made his debut with 2009’s The Loved Ones – in which a high-schooler traps the boy who turned down her prom invitation inside a nightmarish, at-home re-creation of said prom – so he’s no stranger to tapping into the fear of imprisonment.
Byrne’s first two pictures, The Loved Ones (2010) and The Devil’s Candy (2017), were full of terrific performances and wild surprises.
Byrne’s debut feature The Loved Ones won the People’s Choice Award in Toronto’s Midnight Madness strand in 2009…
Tras el culto alcanzado por The Loved Ones (2009) y The Devil’s Candy (2015), su tercera película llega con la promesa de fusionar el slasher con el horror de criaturas…
…the Australian filmmaker behind the tremendously traumatizing The Loved Ones and The Devil’s Candy, both among the best horror films of the 2010s…
For his career started in his native Australia with the prom pandemonium of 2009’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).
