Dress up in your finest suits and prom dresses and step into the world of Australian horror with us this week on the podcast. Tab and I are taking a sinister twist on the classic high school formal as we dive into Sean Byrne's "The Loved Ones." This 2009 film takes a darkly unique spin on the kind of narrative you might expect from a John Hughes movie, blending the innocence of teenage romance with chilling horror elements.

"The Loved Ones" has garnered acclaim for its inventive plot, intense performances, and Byrne's skillful direction, which together create a memorable and unsettling experience. It's a film that masterfully combines the themes of love, obsession, and revenge, setting it apart from typical horror or teen movies.
Join us as we dissect the film's characters, storyline, and its place in the horror genre. Whether you're a fan of horror movies, Australian cinema, or just looking for a unique take on the high school drama, this episode with Tab is guaranteed to offer insightful and entertaining discussion on one of the most captivating films of 2009.
