Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

best movie i've ever seen.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

In the early stages of 'Eden Lake' it can be easy to think to yourself: here we go again! The same old story we've seen a thousand times before. There reaches a point though where you realise that is not actually the case and that what you are watching is something quite special and quite haunting. From that point onwards the film becomes a relentless and brutal ride straight into the depths of despair and loathing. You'll feel unclean after watching this movie.Needless to say this 'Eden Lake' was a lot darker than I anticipated it to be. There were numerous scenes where I kept thinking there was going to be a twist to get them out of this, or they're suddenly going to wake up in a different spot. That was never the case though. This films follows through and I love it for that reason more than any other. This is a film without a conscience and that is what is so good about it. It is certainly not going to be to everyone's liking. Anyone who likes a "Hollywood" type film where everything plays out according to formula and everything wraps itself up into a nice little bow are going to be sorely disappointed. This is not a film for those types of people and I think that is terrific. This is a great film that should absolutely be watched immediately if you haven't already seen it.

Literally one of the dumbest movies ever created. That's all that needs to be said. Please don't waste your time.

This was just shown on tv, and I'm aware it's been around for years.First time for me though .It is a horrible film , full of violence , for violence sake The 2 "adults" make stupid decisions all the way through .It so frustrating to watch them as you are driven to distraction by their naievity , missed chances and sheer stupidity. Anyone in their right mind would have left the woods as you could see trouble coming .Why the 2 main stars chose to make this film ,God knows .It has no message, no redeeming qualities ,just blood lust ..and brutality for the sake of it.One star is too much .

A total waste of time. If sheer brutality and somber gore, or suspense for it's own sake is your fetish then perhaps this will appeal to you. The movie provides suspense, but it's empty in the end. No meaning, no resolution, no conclusion; just a fest of meaningless suspense and brutality.
