Review of Eden Lake (2008) by Emme B — 31 Mar 2010
Watched this one last night on a recommendation and I have to say was taken by it.
Okay first half stretches credibility just slightly when options to avoid what comes next are ignored repeatedly ,but then I suppose we knew from renting the movie what is coming next .in real life you never do .And therefore it is possible .
What the film does do is show the moronic subculture that exists waiting to be sparked in to visceral life.This unfortunately is all to real and clearly visible to even the most scant watcher of the daily media.
Very well acted and grips on a number of levels.Intense ,brooding ,menacing ,mean and jaw dropping at times its a rollercoaster of a ride and really well worth watching.
Resfuses to take the easy way out in any way as a film.
Watch it!
