Profile of Eden Lake

The mood of Eden Lake is disturbing, scary, and rough. The plot centers around a mercy killing, a slasher, and survival. It is a thriller and horror movie. Stylistically, Eden Lake is gory. In approach, it is serious and realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in the woods. Eden Lake happens in contemporary times. It is especially suggested for a boys' night.

Summary of Eden Lake

Kelly Reilly goes from the period costume of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE and MRS. HENDERSON PRESENTS to blood- and mud-covered modern garb for this creepy thriller from the U.K. Jenny (Reilly) and her boyfriend (Michael Fassbender, HUNGER) have taken a vacation to the middle of nowhere for a romantic weekend. But when a group of boys begins to bother them, the trip takes a dangerous turn. THIS IS ENGLAND's Thomas Turgoose costars as one of the terrorizing young men in this film from James Watkins (screenwriter for THE DESCENT 2).

The Hollywood Reporter

Eden Lake has the trappings of a low-IQ thriller but it's really a contemptible tract feeding the prejudices of the U.K.'s rightwing tabloids that claim the country is overrun by teenagers wielding knives. Full Review

Variety

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