Pero la tranquilidad de la que disfruta la joven pareja se ve truncada cuando una banda de jóvenes rodea su campamento, les roba las pertenencias y destroza su coche, dejándoles completamente aislados en mitad del bosque. Cuando Steve se enfrenta a ellos, los ánimos se caldean y sufre las consecuencias de un terrible y violento ataque. Jenny, quien logra huir del lugar, se convierte en la protagonista de un implacable juego del gato y el ratón mientras trata desesperadamente de escapar de sus jóvenes perseguidores y encontrar la forma de salir del bosque.

Película, de la que no me sentía bien en el corazón, el estómago se me apretaba y la cabeza me dolía. Y eso que la vi voluntariamente antes del vuelo, luego a uno ni siquiera le apetece subirse. Excelentes Kelly Reilly y Michael Fassbender, Jack O´Connell está condenado a esos tipos - "Soy Cook, soy maldito Cook", me sorprendería si a ese joven actor no le importa. Los fans de Skins entenderán :-)

Every horror fan should sit up and take notice, this is the gem many of us have been waiting for in vain all this year – a very intense and disturbing experience. The trodden basic storyline of a couple in the woods who run into psychopaths that want to hurt them is portrayed in such way that it feels incredibly realistic, making you wonder whether you haven’t recently read about something similar in a newspaper. In many films I end up rooting for the villains, at least in part (especially in slashers), but Eden Lake made me literally wish for a happy ending or at least a properly cruel punishment for the underage ruffians. Really, I don’t have any major complaints. The ending is good, the torture scenes have the effect they are supposed to have, and the heroes are almost surprisingly likeable. Basically, Eden Lake is a slasher enriched by a lot of exploitation elements that cements the exceptional position of modern European horror (that beautifully incorrect scene by the campfire could never be made in America today).

Poor old Michael Fassbender makes a fatal mistake and takes Dr. Watson’s wife on a trip to a lake. To a lake in Britain. Toa lake in Britain where youths are playing youthful games. Despite a couple of weird things about the behavior of the characters (even though, let’s face it, people are fundamentally idiots and don’t behave logically, especially where emotions are involved) and a couple of weird situations, this is an excellent example of how things can go really frickin’ (“mind your language") wrong. No shortage of brutality and the ending is a lot to take. Powerlessness... a loss of morale, conscience and rules. Americans can go jump in a dumpster with their would-be survival horrors and thrillers.

The islanders strike back at the French, who have had no competition in the exploitation field recently. It takes place in the traditional backdrop of a deep forest, where a young couple go for a romantic weekend. This time they’re not terrorized by a sweaty redneck, but rather by a bunch of rude brats. The plot, based on a clear model, is disrupted by several impressive twists and turns, an excellent pair of protagonists, a twisted party boss with the visage of a hockey player, and, above all, a surreal ending that pushes the despair even further. Some moments (the thorn, the game with fire, the ending) make me want to give it full stars, but the slight aftertaste from the mix of Frontier(s) and Them keeps me at a four, albeit a very strong four. Keep it up!

A trip to a lake turns into a fight for survival when a loving couple pisses off a bunch of local teenagers. An unoriginal but very impressive and suspenseful film that people with weaker stomachs may not be able to handle, but fans of the British new wave of horror will definitely be very satisfied.
