Eden Lake - 2008














Eden Lake, directed and written by
James Watkins was nominated for British Independent Film Award. This British flick tried hard to bring some freshness in the arena of 2008 releases.

Jenny (Kelly Reilly) and Steve (Michael Fassbender), her boyfriend decided to go for a romantic weekend vacation. They choose a deserted lake close to the woods. Their peace was disturbed by the presence of a gang of obnoxious kids. The gang vandalized their car and stole their belongings. Steve accidentally killed the dog of the gang when confronting with the gang members. The gang turned hostile and tortured the couple. Steve was finally killed while Jenny tried her best to escape. A sweet romantic weekend turned into bloody nightmare.

This movie bored me like hell. The story was all very predictable from the beginning to the end. You will be able to predict blindly about the next incident that is going to take place in the movie. Cinematography was no doubt good but again the mediocre background score failed to add any charm to this so called thriller.

My Rating - 3/10
