One of the dark horse contenders in this year's Midnight Madness line-up is The Loved Ones. Only one audience has seen this before and that was at the recent Melbourne International Film Festival where they reportedly screamed, laughed and cheered - just what you want in a Midnight Madness film! It's the directorial debut by Sean Bryne and you'll be learning more about him in the days to come on this blog. And for all those goth gals, the lead actor Xavier Samuel is destined to blow up big as a teen heart throb due to his casting in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. 

Aussie film freak and Fangoria correspondant Michael Helms (the man who told me I HAD to check out last year's Acolytes) just published a chat he had with Sean about the film. Read all about it at Fangoria!

The Loved Ones screens at TIFF on: Sunday September 11, 11:59PM - RYERSON / Tuesday September 15, 3:30PM - SCOTIABANK THEATRE 2 / Thursday September 17, 6:30PM - VARSITY 4
