The Loved Ones

As a Crime and Horror film, "The Loved Ones" primarily elicits intense negative emotional responses. **Fear**, **Anxiety**, and a profound sense of being **Disturbing** dominate, stemming from the protagonist Brent's horrifying abduction and the sadistic, macabre 'prom' he is forced into. The graphic descriptions of torture involving 'syringes, nails, and power drills' lead to strong feelings of **Disgust**. **Anger** is directed towards the deranged perpetrators for their cruelty, while **Empathy** is felt for Brent as he endures immense suffering. Initial scenes of the car accident and Brent's grief contribute to **Sadness** and **Guilt**, and the unexpected brutality of the events generates significant **Surprise** and **Anticipation** regarding his fate.
