Eden Lake is a visceral horror film about a couple who manage to incur the wrath of a group of local chavs. They are camping in a remote location and after a run in with a cheeky gang the violence escalates beyond the point of no return. It is tense, well directed and brutally violent. Set in England this reminded me of a typical hillbilly movie. Eden Lake is a good thriller and easily horrible enough to be described as a horror film. It has a real mean spirit about it. Nasty is a good descriptive word for it. Eden Lake is nasty.
