Eden Lake

British writer and director James Watkins made his feature debut with this mean spirited but effective thriller. A young couple's weekend getaway turns deadly when they are confronted by a bunch of kids. Watkins takes a typical horror genre formula and based it on gritty reality which makes for a disturbing thriller. Kelly Reilly and Michael Fassbender star with solid performances given the limitations of the script. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
