EDEN LAKE

Director James Watkins / 2008 / UK

<p><strong>“A gruelling, grimly effective British chiller.” - <em>Screen International</em></strong><em></em></p>

<p>The directorial debut of <em>My Little Eye</em> screenwriter James Watkins, <em>Eden Lake</em> sees a middle-class couple's idyllic weekend camping trip turn into a nightmare. What starts as idle taunting by a gang of local youths takes a more sinister turn, as the malicious pranks escalate into unfathomable cruelties.</p>

<p>A slow-burning, uncomfortably realistic thriller, <em>Eden Lake</em> is a visceral <em>Lord of the Flies</em>-style tale that plays on the seething undercurrent of class warfare that runs through British society.</p>

<p>Stars Kelly Reilly and Michael Fassbender (<em>Hunger</em>, MIFF 08).</p>

<p>“The best British horror film in years: nasty, scary and tight as a drum.” -<em> Guardian</em></p>
