Eden Lake

Was hoping to get some good B-grade slashing action when I walked into this one not even realising its a Brit flick.

The story is nothing new to us only this time around, the hiking couple are not terrorised by an unknown slasher or resident serial killer but a group of teen-hooligans as a fun-filled camping weekend in the woods turns out to be an all out survival nightmare.
The built-up of the movie was quite good. But sadly it fell quite flat thereafter and the ending was really disappointing... At least to an old-fashioned bloke like me who still believes in the natural order of things. The movie did have its moments though when it comes to making you cringe in your seats and your skin crawl... Brrr...

Like all slasher flicks, the damsel in distress is always the anchor of the whole movie. Kelly Reilly not only displayed her dexterity and charms for such a differing role from what she is used to. She showed off that she has the goods to match too!
