Word is Eden Lake will be released on DVD January 6. Good, just in time for me to ask it again to zombie santa. Set in a bucolic environment, Eden Lake was nothing new, reminded me of Them in some aspects, but it was an extremely well done and efficient bloody tale of kids gone bad... with murderous consequences. Fuelled by the the rage of it's gang leader, an aggressive group of local kids terrorize the couple played by Kelly Reilly (L'Auberge Espagnole) and Michael Fassbender in unimaginable ways, and their weekend outing becomes a bloody battle for survival. Eden Lake is a brutal cat-and-mouse game, a well-acted movie that stays with you. The disturbingly cold gang leader, portrayed by Jack O'Connel, is the most important character in this movie, a reminder that children can also be cold-hearted killers. And that's the first element of a great movie - and art in general: it does not leave things as is, and shatters our innocence sort of speak. That is precisely what Eden Lake does, and for that, it gets a 9/10 from me.
Here are some pics for you.
