Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} [[File:LO_2_3881.png\|frame\|You summon me for love?]] An independent film made in 2009, ''Lo'' is first and foremost a love story. Albeit, a love story with demons, [[Deal ~~With~~with the Devil\|infernal pacts]] and [[MacGuffin\|demonology books]]. A loner named Justin falls in love with a [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl\|quirky girl]] named April. She is kidnapped by demons, and leaves behind a book. Looking for any clue to save April, he finds a bookmark, showing how to summon a demon named Lo. So he does. Enter Lo. Notable for taking place entirely in one room and remaining gripping despite the fact. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== This film contains examples of: ===~~ * [[Affably Evil]]: Lo, Jeez, arguably all the demonic characters. * [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Arguably the point of the film. * [[Berserk Button]]: Lo's illusions progress until Justin believes the entire legions of hell are laughing at him. He snaps like a fucking ''twig''. * [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Jeez first appears while holding a copy of ''[[~~The Tragical History of~~ Doctor Faustus ~~(Theatre)~~\|The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus]]''. {{spoiler\|Also, the Bookmark in the Book, marking the page on how to summon Lo.}} * [[Foe Yay]]: Justin and Lo have a bit early on. {{spoiler\|And a lot later on}}. * [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: April. Definitely April. * [[I Lied]]: {{spoiler\|It ''was'' poison! '''''AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA'''''}} * [[Mortal Wound Reveal]]: {{spoiler\|April}}. * [[Shout -Out]]: to [[Doctor Faustus ~~(Theatre)~~\|The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus]]. * [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: Jeez dresses extremely formally but talks kinda like a fancy stoner. {{quote\| '''Jeez:''' Dude. ''Dude''.}} ** Lo also has shades of this, switching between ominous archaic English and crass, slurred ramblings. * '''[[Tear Jerker]]''' * [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Most of the movie is Lo doing this to Justin. Justin turns it around on him at the end. * [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler\|April and Lo are the same entity.}} * [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Justin. {{spoiler\|I am your master. You are my '''dog'''.}} * [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~It's Not Awesome?]]: The flashbacks are told in the form of Vaudeville style performances, and Plot Exposition is administered-IN SONG! {{reflist}} Line 31: [[Category:Films of the 2000s]] [[Category:Lo]] [[Category:~~Trope~~Film]]
