The Loved Ones Blu ray

Title: The Loved Ones Starring: Sean Byrne Released: 4th October 2010 Further Details: The Loved Ones Blu-ray proves a bleak, taut, and deeply disturbing watch, but with impressive performances across the board , some accomplished and imaginative camera work , convincing special effects, and a sensitivity towards the characters which overshadows so many of its rivals, the sick, depraved, and tormented world of Lola Stone is one which you should brace yourself to experience. The Loved Ones dvd is the resultant image quality on this release is excellent; the picture is presented with a vibrant colour spectrum and an impressive level of detail, yet the often grimy feel of the movie is retained to ensure it maintains credibility for the demands of the genre. This grimy feel is represented by a sometimes slightly washed out texture; though when Lola slips on her pink dress and vivid make-up to unleash her vicious torment, the strength of colour is unquestionable. Movements are smooth and seamless, and the wide shots of the stunning Australian scenery are captured with glorious levels of detail. On the face of it, Sean Byrne’s horror expedition is crafted from the tried and tested teen horror blueprint which has proven so successful for so long. Yet the enormous level of respect he pays to his small collection of young characters, coupled with the gloomy thematic backdrop of grief and loss, results in a picture that is undeniably brutal and gruesome, whilst also affecting and engaging. Byrne’s steady directorial hand means that we care for these characters at a very early stage, and as such their descent into hell proves agonisingly tense and profoundly disturbing.
