It all started with the vision of a kid in a bloody tuxedo, tied to a chair. Who is this kid? How did he get here? Who’s done this to him? And most importantly, how is he going to get out? Miguel Gonzalez talked to the creators of The Loved Ones to find the answers.
Knowing horror is a popular genre, Tasmanian writer/director Sean Byrne saw an opportunity to create his first feature– if only he could find a point of difference that would make him stand out from the pack; from the countless generic horror films saturating the market. His inspiration came from classics such as Carrie and The Evil Dead, taking the prom sub-genre into a cabin in the woods, and turning prom rituals like the dancing and the crowning of the king and queen
into the actual instruments of torture. Byrne then had the tuxedo...

Director Sean Byrne has been offered “generic horror films” due to the international festival success of his debut feature The Loved Ones, but he’s turned them down because a career path is more important than money or visibility.
“I couldn’t do [these generic films]. A film takes two years of your life; you have to get out of bed and inspire a cast and crew. You must do it for the right reasons, and if the blueprint has problems it’s just doomed to failure. I would never do something just for the money, because it’s such a public medium that at the end of the day, everyone’s going to see it,” Byrne told Encore.
Byrne said that whether or not he stays in Australia depends on the material he is offered.
“I’d rather stay in Australia if the material is strong enough. The second film is so...

When Australian horror film The Loved Ones had its world premiere as part of the Toronto International Film Festival I had the chance to sit and talk with director Sean Byrne about his loving ode to the high school years. I've been sitting on the interview ever since, waiting for the film to actually go into wide release somewhere, but it's a good one, I'm tried of waiting and with the film about to screen at SXSW, now seems like a good time.
TB: So I'm guessing from this movie that you really liked high school.
Sb: (laughs) Oh, I hated high school, yeah. I think high school is such a pressure cooker environment, and there's a need for acceptance, and there's bullying. It's a really complicated, confusing part of everyone's life, which hopefully we can all relate to one way or another. It's a launch pad for all sorts of psychological damage.

The demise of several characters at the recent, packed world premiere of The Loved Ones during the Melbourne International Film Festival had the audience cheering. Perverse, demented and unpredictable, The Loved Ones is one messed-up little tale of unrequited love, powered by a sense of humor and grindhouse sensibility that’s sure to please a wide horror audience (and may even convert chick-flick devotees) if it’s allowed to. The Loved Ones is the first feature by Australian filmmaker Sean Byrne, and it definitely won’t be his last.
Fango caught up with Byrne, who has previously made a number of short films (including the supernatural Advantage, which played at last year’s New York City Horror Film Festival), a week prior to that first public screening of The Loved Ones, and he was understandably running on nervous energy after what he describes as a few “filmless years.” Then again,...
