Eden Lake


I just watched the low budget English thriller film, Eden Lake a couple off days back. There are no really big actors featured in the film apart from Cook (Jack O'Connell) from Skins series 3 and Thomas Turgoose from This is England as the kids in it never the less the acting was still convincing. At a first glance, i did not really expect much coming from a cheap horror, but the film turned out to be very impressive and quite shocking and disturbing in parts. The scenes of violence are very graphic and well down and because its an English film and the majority of the cast are new i think it gave of more reality to me. The film also shows the viewer what certain gangs of kids are capable off and what life is like today in parts of the country with high rates of teenage knife crime. A film to watch.
