Love Hurts

It starts out at a murder scene, but it is dark, so we cannot tell what the police are investigating. It then switches to a party scene, where the guests are invited to this Valentine's Day dinner, and each will get $10,000 if they make a 'breakthrough'. It switches back and forth between the party and the police asking questions about the murders. Simple to say, the 'butler' assures the police he/they have friends in high places. The characters are not likeable, and in many ways it is boring. As the police probe, the background story has more and more tension among the guests. So one is following two different threads. The police cannot figure out a motive, which is the stumbling block, as those who orchestrated everything also seem to have every angle figured out. Certainly not worth paying to see in a theater.

I LOVE a horror movie with a twisted ending and this did not disappoint. I don't understand all the bad reviews. I will be watching this again. It was so good!!!!!!! It is definitely worth the watch. The acting on some of the people was sub par but I was intrigued from the very moment the movie started. I was glued to the television. I was very shocked by the ending. I never expected it. Do yourself a favor and at least give this movie a chance. Yes, it is low budget but some of the best horror movies in my opinion have been low budget. The gore isn't extreme but. I love movies like this and I'm very disappointed in its ratings. Maybe I'm in the minority here but I really liked it.

Wow really? This is streaming on Freevee but it's called 'MOST HORRIBLE THINGS at the moment. That's a huge difference from 'Love Hurts' . Wow. -1 Star for the name change. So right off the bat we're at 4/10.

So some weirdo invites 6 dinner guests and pays them 10k each up front to be there. Weirdo promises them that love is in the air. Oh wait he didn't pay them up front, he promised them 10k to attend. What a ripoff.

Oh well it picked up a notch when the weirdo offered the dufus mechanic an upstairs room with a girl +1 Star!

So the weirdo is trying to make love connections amongst his paid guests? What a weirdo!

Oh I did not see that end coming! But this movie was a bit too all over the place. Even so.... 5/10.

This movie is on Prime as Most Horrible Things. It was strange. Not what I expected from the description. Not even 100% sure how I feel about it. If you're looking for a time killer or something you can watch with one eye while doing something else this is your movie.

The acting is meh and I still don't understand one scene but I don't care enough to watch it again. Instead of twists and turns it has curves. Couple of good scenes and what would be a good twist ending if they didn't telegraph it about 5 minutes before.

I hate how long they make you make your review. Said all I have to say and still need more cha.

This is a very curious movie. It's meant to be a sinister horror/thriller, with an eccentric who invites a group of random persons for a dinner party in his mansion, under the pretense that they will be paid 10.000 dollar if they will experience an "emotional breakthrough". Then, in the course of the evening, he starts provoking them, playing with their minds and revealing some of their hidden personal secrets. This causes some of them to snap and totally lose control; as a result eventually blood flows, and worse.

This may sound interesting, and is does have potential, but the execution is really bad. The pace is way too slow, the photography is lackluster, and especially the acting is below every par. Only the host (Sean Sprawling) and his butler (Simon Phillips) do a good job, but the actors playing the guests are all terrible. The script is very talkative, and the whole movie is very low on action.

Biggest let-down is the lack of any comprehensible or relatable motive for the host (or for his commissioner, as a twist at the end of the movie reveals) for their actions. The interrogation by the two police-detectives doesn't really help in getting answers, they are so awkward and amateurish that the result is hardly surprising.

In fact, my only positive feeling concerns Sean Sprawling: as the gender-fluid androgynous host his (their) attitude, gestures and dialogues are almost theatrically choreographed, and lend him (them) a definite, larger than life charisma. But that alone wasn't enough to save this disappointing project.
