Review of Eden Lake (2008) by Thomas O — 08 Nov 2012

There are a number of moments in this film that may make you jump, and the setting of the horror had potential. Unfortunately, Watkins decided that it would be beneficial to join the media crusade against 'hoodies' and make his antagonists exactly that.

A disappointing waste of a good opportunity to create a truly terrifying horror film, with an ending that attempts to make some sort of political message, but only succeeds in dragging the film to an even lower point then the rest of this unmemorable film.
