Eden Lake
Steven Taylor calls his girlfriend, a kindergarten teacher to spend some good time. One day they both decided to go to a distant place called Eden Lake where they met a group of rude teenagers. Although the place is good but it soon became clear that all these holidays were quite unexpected.

Eden Lake: pursuit, persecution, violent death.

Works exceedingly well, and will probably stick in your gut for a little while.

An effectively harrowing Brit thriller-cum-horror pic whose yuppie protags' weekend getaway runs violently afoul of the local youth.
October 18, 2008
A gruelling, grimly effective British chiller.

The film's one major fault is that Reilly's character repeatedly acts in ways that serve the plot, but which run contrary to rational human behaviour. By contrast, the shattering downbeat ending is well earned and genuinely shocking.
October 18, 2008
A well acted, smartly directed horror flick that's gory, disturbing, terrifying and topical.

A solid horror thriller worthy of a watch, if only for its insight in to how easily the hive mentality can be formed, and how merciless it can be.

It is impossible not to admire the way Watkins ratchets up the tension in his debut as director (he wrote My Little Eye) and keeps his tale strictly to 90 minutes.

...it's hard to deny that the ultra-downbeat finale feels needlessly mean-spirited.

Daily Mail scaremongering? Possibly. But formidably well-made, all the same.

Well acted, well directed, and totally intense, 'Eden Lake' is the best horror film to come out of the UK in years.

...while Eden Lake is effective, something feels not quite right about cheering for prepubescent kids to get their fatal comeuppance.
