Torture horror has gone pretty stale since "Hostel". The genre has gotten boring and I really doubted that I would ever enjoy another torture horror film. But man did "The Loved Ones" prove me wrong on that one.
The movie follows along the same line as your typical torture horror film, but they throw in a few original ideas in there to make the movie feel fresh. Whenever you feel the movie is about to get dull, something happens that spark your interest yet again. Also, a lot of things get thrown at you that you simply don't expect.
The gore level is VERY high. There are a lot of very graphics scenes and if you are the type of person who can't handle high amounts of gore I wouldn't suggest this to you.
The movie however does have its downsides. The main character isn't very likable so that makes it kind of hard to root for him through out the movie. Also, even though there are a lot of original aspects to this movie it does still have a lot of "torture horror" clichés that keep the movie from being perfect.
"The Love Ones" is not for everybody, if you didn't enjoy "Hostel" you probably won't enjoy this. But if you were a fan of "Hostel", and really want to see a film along the same lines but with some original elements I highly suggest checking this out.
A very fun and crazy ride 7/10
