Title: Eden Lake
Post by: treachery on January 05, 2009, 09:58:43 am

A brittish horror movie that opened in swedish theaters last week.

It's about a young couple that goes camping by a lake. Everything is perfect untill a bunch of kids starts to mess with them; breaking the tire of their car, general disturbance, etc.

Things gets out of hand pretty soon. Way out of hand.

I don't think I've ever seen a movie with kids like this. They are so fucking crazy and completely lack empathy. It makes me want people to have a license before they are allowed to have children.

The movie is still pretty realistic though. Of course, as in most horror movies, things tend to happened that arent that logical, for the sake of keeping the movie alive and exciting. I don't really mind. People who have a problem with BUT WHY DID HE RUN IN THAT DIRECTION should be aware though.

I also love to see how really civilized people can break down under extreme pressure and become very primitive. Seing a pretty, young, nice school teacher slithing the throat of an unarmed twelve year old is always refreshing.


8/10

Nekrothreading!

Another torture porn flick.

No clue why this got rated so highly, I found it like every other one of those cheap cash-in movies. Not worth watching.

Saw it a few months ago.. I've seen the "group of bullies takes it too far because of a stupid kid who's a little older and leads" before. I found it pretty unoriginal.
