The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Loved Ones (2009)

Starring: Robin McLeavy, Xavier Samuel
Director: Sean Byrne

Premise:
A high school senior, grieving over his father's death and emotional distant mother, plans on going to the prom with his girlfriend. However a secret admirer has other plans from him.

My Take:
This movie sure takes you on a wild ride and it has one of the most notorious villains in recent memory.
The characters are fleshed out nicely with emotional reasons behind their actions. There is also sort of a story within a story going on with the lead character's best friend prom experience which connects to the main story.
Humorous at times, very violent, and disturbing.

Rating: So Good
