"I am not far from intimidated by a group of twelve"

When Steve (Michael Fassbender), his girlfriend (Kelly Reilly), Jenny has a campsite at a lake with the intention of hitting with his plans for a perfect weekend in the wrong direction very quickly, in a meeting with the group unruly children quickly turns into violence, leaving the couple fighting for their lives.

most decent horror movies, a mirror for society, if used in GeorgeA. Romero 's Dawn of the Dead "or foreign occupation" 28 weeks later. But instead of holding up a mirror for the first time director James Watkins, apparently we can look through a window on some of the scourges of modern life in Britain, youth violence and knife crime. Here, the violence is brutal, cruel and ruthless, but more importantly, it has implications not only for the surviving victims.

Although the device is not far, as many modern American terror as "Wrong Turn" orHostel Eden is as far removed from modern American terror of what can be achieved. Interestingly, focusing on the grain as a spectacle, it is more reminiscent of the classic American horror film "Deliverance" or "Southern Comfort". Forget the impact threw the dead, we're used to) "or" Resident Evil "(funny how they are. Death is not something that I enjoyed in Eden Lake, all with" Final Destination films, for example, prolonged death , uncomfortable and confused.There are no monsters or unspeakable evil, Steve and Jenny are the children into something much more frightening!

Shave get their confidence once they realize the difficult situation they have in themselves, the children are so afraid and gave a week. If you take difficult decisions that can not permanently moral courage, but like most children of peer pressure. What started as a bit 'of fun, boredom, increases rapidly out of controlin a situation where only one result. rationalization of Steve and Jenny never had a chance against his panic and a willingness to face the consequences of their actions.

The real horror comes not from the perspective of children with knives, but the finding of a similar situation, the work of most of us (and probably did) the same way. Who would not want to say a couple of kids make bold stroke of a nuisance of themselves whenMost people try to maintain it for you? It 's easy to imagine the same thing happens to us, and taking into account the consequences, is not an easy thing to accept. How can a reasonable person to attack a group of children react? As in the scenario, children are no simple answers.

The fact that Watkins is a cast of talented, but relatively little known (but better) in the movie really works for assembly. Of central importance to increase the fusionStar Michael Fassbender (Hunger, Inglorious Bastards, 300) and the excellent Kelly Reilly. A highly respected stage, screen and television actress in Britain, has a minor arc character and the faces of most of the unpleasant options. How does a teacher who loves children, with the prospect of trying to kill children? Children of all natural advantages, including Thomas Turgoose (This Is England, Somers Town), which is known, despite the best children in front of the most underratedBook. This is what the naturalism of the children and the fear at this time.

If Werner Herzog had made a horror movie, there was Eden Lake. E 'raw, real and its core is the people on the evil and cruelty used against each other. Alarming, challenging and uncompromising, it is modern European horror Eden Lake, agreed. There will be a film like Eden Lake like it, it forces you to confront the reality of modern society suggestsis wrong and demand a reassessment. Like many modern movies may be the case?
