‘The Loved Ones’ Trailer – Three Years Later, Festival Favorite Aussie Horror Finally Prepares for Stateside Release
Posted on Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012 by Angie Han
Sean Byrne‘s Aussie horror The Loved Ones first attracted attention back in 2009, when it nabbed the Midnight Madness Audience Award at the Toronto Film Festival, and continued to garner good buzz on the festival circuit through 2010… and then 2011. Now it’s 2012, and though it seems like festivalgoers have nothing but nice things to say about this bloody prom flick, The Loved Ones still hasn’t gotten a proper U.S. release.
Enter Tugg, a platform that allows filmgoers to set up on-demand screenings of certain films at their local theater. The service, which launched earlier this year, has teamed up with Paramount’s Insurge label to release The Loved Ones in the U.S. But is it really worth campaigning to bring it to your hometown? For what it’s worth, I vote yes — but check out the new trailer after the jump and decide for yourself.
