They're doing things a little bit different at the Toronto Film Festival this year. Realizing that the folk who vote for the regular Audience Award - which wen to Precious this year, incidentally - are a very different audience than those who attend the Midnight Madness program, festival organizers have created a second Audience Award just for the Madness program. And though the votes were tallied prior to tonight's screening of Tony Jaa's Ong Bak 2 - which may very well have taken the prize - the inaugural winner is Sean Byrne's The Loved Ones.
This is very well deserved, in my book, and - as I mentioned to Byrne in an interview that will hopefully be transcribed and online soon - I am a firm believer that the villainous couple at the core of this film will become prime Halloween costume territory just as soon as the public at large has a chance to see it.

Is there any trailer out there?
It would be great to see it before the film gets to Sitges, it looks like this year´s Mandy Lane.
The loved ones leaves Mandy Lane so far in the dust in terms of quality and originality that the films should never ever be mentioned alongside one another again.
Glad I got that off my chest.
The MM award is well deserved to the Aussies this year, although I think SYMBOL was actually the best film shown there.
The trailer is held up over music rights issues.
