Eden Lake (2008)

Director: James Watkins

Starring: Kelly Reilly, Michael Fassbender, Tara Ellis

Refusing to let anything spoil their romantic weekend break, a young couple confront a gang of loutish youths with terrifyingly brutal consequences.

The only reason I decided to watch this, is because I’ve come to enjoy Michael Fassbender films. ‘Eden Lake’ is one of the very few films I wish I’d never seen.

It’s not often you see a film where kids are the perpetrators to this extent. And with good reason. This film is disgusting and sickening to the core. This was beyond nerve wrecking; it was completely and utterly disgusting and incredibly difficult to watch. The acting was indeed very good, but that’s the only positive comment from me.

The film has the stupidest ending! I guarantee you will be dissatisfied. Sadists might enjoy this disgusting film; I can’t imagine anyone else saying they’ve enjoyed this… An absolute waste of time!

Would I watch it again? A resounding NO!!!
