Written and directed by Sean Byrne, The Loved Ones has steadily grown a large underground following due to its enthusiastic reception as a midnight movie favorite at festivals like SXSW, Fantasia and Toronto International Film Festival. Described as "Sixteen Candles" meets "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (FlickSided.com), the film has ardent supporters who have said "The Loved Ones" is "raw horror fun done right" (HitFix.com) and "one of the best pure horror flicks I've seen in ages" (JoBlo.com).

"Those who have seen and heard about "The Loved Ones" have been clamoring for its theatrical release," said Amy Powell, President, Insurge Pictures. "This is a truly terrifying film that brings new meaning to the horrors of dating and we're excited to give fans the unprecedented opportunity to personalize their movie going experience."

"We're thrilled to work with Paramount's Insurge Pictures to help give fans everywhere the unique ability to share this movie with their community. "The Loved Ones" is the kind of film that shocks, horrifies and entertains in a way that's best experienced in a crowded theater," said Tugg co-founders Nicolas Gonda and Pablo Gonzalez.
