Eden Lake

Eden Lake highlights the aggresive side of any person to the max, I did not actually watch it as it played but skipped parts to understand the story.

I am a fan of horror/thriller films, but when they get to a extent where you watch someone cut into a living creature, it is just too much.

The basic plot of this is where a couple decides to camp on a beach and the man was planning a proposal. But, whilst they were there they bumped into a gang of youths. Disturbing as they can be, the man decides to confront them when they damaged their vehichle and stole their belongings, however confronting these youth has a fateful consequence attached to them. The film potrays the gang as violent hoodies, they tied the man with barbed wires to a tree stump, and each member of the gang taking a stab at him. They then start to hunt down the man's girlfriend. At the end after watching her husband die, she ends up crashed up, on the garden that the leader of the gangs house live, and is killed by the youth's father in order to cover up the tracks.

This film is not just a film made to become violent and gruesome in it genre, but in my point of view is just to show that a child's behaviour is affected by the people we look up to; our parents. They model the role we walk in and they show us what is right from what is wrong. Although the film shows the most horrific side that a gang of youths can be, it is true and it does happen. It happens on the news everyday, especially the Bulger Brother's case which fits perfectly into this film, the violence, the anger and the way they think.

This film needs a strong stomach if you do decide to watch it, it is a film that shows the monstrosity of a human being and how they will act towards the anger they are feeling..........

But on the other hand......It could be biased and prejudice to those youth gangs as this is the perspective that we see them in, and this is how we potray them. If youth gangs are such a threat to society, why are there still so much of them out there, round every corner, walking every street...

This film plots the characteristics of each person to their worst and never changing......
