Stephen Taylor invites his girlfriend, a kindergarten teacher to spend some quality time with each other comes to an almost remote place called Eden Lake. They met a group of rude and somewhat troubled teens. Soon it all turns out to be an unexpected, horrifying and brutal holidays ever.
The film's one major fault is that Reilly's character repeatedly acts in ways that serve the plot, but which run contrary to rational human behaviour. By contrast, the shattering downbeat ending is well earned and genuinely shocking.
...while Eden Lake is effective, something feels not quite right about cheering for prepubescent kids to get their fatal comeuppance.

It is impossible not to admire the way Watkins ratchets up the tension in his debut as director (he wrote My Little Eye) and keeps his tale strictly to 90 minutes.

A solid horror thriller worthy of a watch, if only for its insight in to how easily the hive mentality can be formed, and how merciless it can be.
