Review of Eden Lake

Eden Lake (2008)
5/10
Logic? Nope
29 September 2008
Or in other words, don't try to think about decisions, events or anything at all that happens in the movie. If you start to question things or try to see if things portrayed here are logical, the movie will be lost (and your enjoyment of it). This is sort of a warning, although if you have watched a few horror movies, by now you will know that most of them aren't really logical.

But there still is a fine line between stretching logic and abandon it totally (as seen in this case/movie). I only have to say "Bluetooth" ... it just doesn't work the way it is portrayed in the movie. That we get one huge time lapse, when one of out main protagonist should be doing something, but doesn't .. well it's not helping either.

Apart from all this negative things, I listed the movie is beautifully shot and edited. There's a real sense of danger and the actors are trying their best with what they have to work with (script and environment). It's a good idea and I like that some things aren't explained and some are shown subtly. All in all, OK then :o)
