I chose an unwise film to watch while recovering from a lengthy bout of laryngitis. My doctor's instructions, "Don't even whisper for the entire weekend," couldn't stop me from screaming at the screen while I watched The Loved Ones.
I haven't seen a slasher flick for decades. They're not really my taste, but back in the days of pitching in to rent a VCRs to watch films, my buddies and I would always grab three movies to make the evening rental worth our while: a comedy, an action movie, and a video nasty. But I stumbled on this one by accident, totally unawares. It looked like a teen-angsty type film at first, so I settled in for some fluff. Once embroiled in the story, I couldn't stop.
And I forgot how fun it can be to be scared by a campy bit of blood and guts where so many characters choose to investigate suspicious activity all by their lonesomes.
Brent's struggling to recover from accidentally killing his dad in one of his first experiences driving a car. He cuts himself and toys with death, but when he stumbles climbing a rock ledge, his will to live proves strong. Good thing, because he's going to need it.
For helping me to completely forget how much my throat hurts: B+
