Storyline
Eden Lake is a relentlessly tense and immaculately paced horror-thriller about modern youth gone wild. When a young couple goes to a remote wooded lake for a romantic getaway, their quiet weekend is shattered by an aggressive group of local kids. Rowdiness quickly turns to rage as the teens terrorize the couple in unimaginable ways, and a weekend outing becomes a bloody battle for survival.

Seriously bloody horrible in every particular, and uncompromisingly bleak to the very end, this looks to me like the best British horror film in years: nasty, scary and tight as a drum.

As a thriller, Eden Lake absolutely works, but feel-good entertainment it isn’t. Don’t bring a date.

The shattering downbeat ending is well earned and genuinely shocking.

You don't watch it, you survive it. A battering experience, and the hardest Brit horror in years.

Eden Lake doesn't feel like torture porn so much as a rural-jeopardy thriller in extremis.
