Chesterfield R You can only be asked to suspend disbelief so far. There seems to be a series of wormholes throughout this magical forest as the way the characters teleport would make Jason question reality.

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Daniel Z Underrated gem and I love the twist on the end Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Colette P Eden Lake falls perfectly into that category of films that are so relentlessly and sadistically disturbed yet deeply intelligent and thought provoking. It’s relentless in its depictions of violence towards the innocent but does so in a way to explore topics such as abuse, peer pressure, social acceptance, and of course, morality. The main victims in this movie, a couple on vacation, have enough charm and romantic chemistry that the audience cares about their fate and roots for them the whole way through. In other words, they are not just one-note nobodies to drive a plot. The film also offers us to look closer or even sympathize a bit with the antagonists despite their brutality. Both sides give utterly incredible performances (far above what is required for an indie horror film). It's the kind of acting that haunts you long after you see it. The film also benefits from it’s “day time setting” and summer like atmosphere. Like Texas Chainsaw, the opposite moods at play add to the disturbing nature of the story. As a horror fan and someone who's curious about more “extreme” movies, I was very pleased by this one. No elements about it feel exploitative or written just to be shallow shock value. The themes it explores have a clear artistic vision. This may be a hard watch for some, but it’s an unforgettable and powerful one nonetheless.
