Eden Lake (2008)
7/10
A sad but gruesome horror flick it even has a message
19 March 2020
Yesterday I watched this film and it was kinda sad horror film in which it wears a message. It means mind your own busines and leave the youth kids alone. This Young Couple Steve (Michael Fassbender) and Jenny (Kelly Reilly) drives to Lake Eden for a romantic weekend and they are harassed by gang of youth kids. Everything was fine until Steve compliant to those kids about their load music. Everything was fine until Steve killed Brett (Jack O'Connell) leader of the gang's dog Bonnie and that becomes a personal brutal vengeance to the gang.

I like the film it has a message everything would have been fine if Steve would have left the kids alone. He goes and kills Brett dog. Honestly I sympathize with Brett more than Steve. Cause I am dog lover and the film shows that Brett loved his dog. Everything would be fine, if Steve would mind his own buisnes, the couple wouldn't have any trouble in the first place. If someone would murdered my dog that I love so much, I would do the same as Brett taking my own justice.

That is why I am saying this film has a message leave the youth alone and you want have any trouble. I like Michael Fassbender in X-Men movies, but as a hero in a horror film he was terrible. The finale is not explained what happened to Jenny on the end was she beaten or raped? Except the finale this film is awsome. I like Finn Atkins as Paige would love to see her toplessness ha ha. But good acting performance from everyone. From the British horror films I still prefer Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) and Dog Soldiers (2002), but that's just me.

Kelly Reilly was great as anti-heroine, I like her.

As the film Lake Eden I like, just I am not fan they go and kill the dog. The dog was defending his owner Brett and his friends that was all. Good gruesome horror and sad film, which it has a message, I like it.
