Eden Lake

the most stupid movie ever! bunch of kids dealing with 2 adults. if they had guns, I would have understood a little, but knives? that grown ass man is a shame to manhood and does not deserve to be a protector. It's a good thing he ended there because he would have been a terrible father. one good battering stick would have ended the whole story from the beginning

A couple went for a trip to a lake but unfortunately they were trapped with bad kids.then they trying to escape from that place. This movie gives a good lesson for couples who are looking trip to a island or remote area..it gives consonuousness to be careful.

Pointless movie. Budget is descent, actors are quite good, but the scenario is..... well, there is no real scenario actually: Characters are pure evil, with no motivation, no "reason to do so". The "bad guys" are animals, the "good guys" are in love, rich, and they'll get married soon... so cute. But the good guys get butchered with no reason, ... by kids... and their parents. So if you look at this movie, you'll get involved, you'll need revenge, and you'll get nothing but frustration. Oh very nice, thank you Mr James Watkins, and welcome to the black list. Note that the directing job is not so bad (also by James Watkins). So the question is: is this movie co-written, or co-directed ? :) The answer with "The Descent, part 2", not seen yet (but fearing the worst...) To sum up in french: "Grosse, grosse merde"

Eden Lake came as part of a run of films surrounding hostile teens. This film could be viewed as both a creepy Horror and a suspenseful Thriller, but is a unique structure for a British film and holds its own in the series of similar films around that time. It's not all screams and phantom perpetrators, it's one that feels realistic and much more gritty to a UK audience.
