This is one of those horror films a lot of people like to hype up and one I never got around to seeing back in the day. Plus, watching it today, it's easier to appreciate talent like Michael Fassbender, Kelly Reilly and Jack O'Connell in earlier roles. That being said, the film is violent - and it involves kids - so it's not a fun film to watch but it's worth it for that ending (which if you haven't been spoiled by now is a real kicker). A gristly morsel in the horror genre that is a solid choice for non-squeamish watchers.

The day after I watched Eden Lake, I read a story in the local rag about a 19yr old disabled girl who had been literally taken prisoner, tied up, physically and mentally abused and then left in a local park at 5.30 in the morning, her captors were young aimless hoodies.
Almost the very next day I read about a 17yr old boy who was tied to a tree, doused in petrol and set alight to die a horrible death by youngsters not much older than him. This is what makes Eden Lake so frightening and shocking, its grip on reality is very close to the knuckle and although it has many contrivances it delivers a voyeuristic and all too familiar story of 21st Century Britain and the major problems of today's society that all politicians fail to comprehend.
Eden Lake disturbed the hell out of me; it's not …
