Lonely Hearts

With no knowledge and never hearing about this film, it appears to be a British independent film. Described as a reality tv parody type horror (such as Love Island), as watching, it did not seem like a horror but as we continue watching, we get a sense that there would be some sort of twist or reveal in the end- and there was.

The film is certainly entertaining and would appease to those who enjoy those reality competition type series. Surprising to see the lower rating and several negative reviews. People must have been expecting something different.

A lot of complaint seems to be the two graphic explicit skin scenes (full realistic nudity showing the male's private a few times)- after all the film is meant to be a realistic reality tv series so those scenes make sense.

The film's reveal in the final 10 minutes to end wasn't as predictable and was somewhat shocking. Although there are clues that a few of the "contestants" were in on it and it wasn't as it presented to be. We knew something was off about the tv host as well. Violent consequences in the end have the finale a quite sad disturbing ending- which seems to be why many disliked the film. Gave a rather bad taste, but it was something different.

In the end, it's a different type of film and thoroughly entertaining and sleazy watching to see what occurs next. It is Certainly not for the weak fainted.

Did the makers of this film not have enough friends or something? What kind of dating show premise features only FIVE people,already clearly broken up into groups (the old man and the old woman together,the young people together). There was. A line that stated "you are the last two couples" as if they started out with more than FIVE PEOPLE!!! COMPLETELY unnecessary GRAPHIC sex scenes,making this movie more porno than horror. Blah scenery. Looks like it was shot in a clearing adjacent to a corn field. And the "game" was ridiculous. And the ending was convoluted, confusing, nonsensical trash. What was even the purpose of it all!?!? WHAT was really going on!?!? WHY was this happening!?! My favorite part was the "torture",because pouring wine on someone's body and rubbing a small jar candle on their chest is HORRIFIC!!! (insert THICK sarcasm here) and yes,masking tape does indeed hold bloody items immobile,seeing at it is pretty much the strongest tape you can buy........(insert that sarcasm again!!) Overall this movie was so stupid it would have been held back if it was a schoolchild. It's too late for me.... I can't unsee this. But you have a chance,and a choice. Save yourself!

Lonely Hearts (2019) simply never looks like something that would be broadcast on tv, unless we're talking on a late-night slot on Bravo in 2005. Shaky hand-held cameras and poor sound recording went out of vogue with Davina McColl's Streetmate, guys. It's not a deal-breaker by any means though, and a terrific campfire question-and-answer game in the last act more than makes up for it, where uncomfortable truths are revealed in a squirm-inducing fashion. There's an unsettling folk-horror vibe to some parts too, particularly a treasure hunt sequence. I just wish they'd used the countryside location more, to fully capitalise on it. The horror elements don't really come to the fore until the last few minutes, in an ending that isn't really earned and doesn't make much sense, but is fairly effective nonetheless. Up until that point, Lonely Hearts is more of a satirical erotic drama, which is a small, small genre indeed.

Please let this movie cancel its tv show (within the movie).

Lonely Heaarts starts as a camping reality tv show with 5 people (2 men and 3 women) to explore singles, dating, and the extremes of reality tv.

The film ultimately ends with death, but without much reasoning for this. The rest of the movie has manipulation by the production crew, attempts at overt sex, nudity, and pushing people's boundaries. Only, this film lacks spark, character, and excitement. This film seesm to want to shock with it's approach, but the situation is a tired retread of most any dating reality show without much gumption or energy.

Lonely Hearts misses all the marks for a horror film, having no tension or suspense. It simply panders to what we think we want to see behind the scenes of a reality show. And then it's cobbled with a sudden shift in tone without much in terms of explanation or rationality.

Not worth watching at all.

Lonely Hearts (201) tells a very pointless and frustrating story about a group of individuals who basically want to get laid but reworded to love. Not sure why people came on board exactly to make this project, not do I understand why Sam Mason Bell keeps working with notorious creep Martin W Payne. Extremely graphic sex scenes for shock factor. Pornography disguised as a horror? Give me a break! Lonely Hearts doesn't do any justice in the film industry due to its lazy cinematic quality, terrible sound, awful dialogue. The only decent thing was the actors and I'm sure they regret being in this now.
