It's not Eden Lake, that's the one you want.
It's sad how they even contrived the cover art to be reminiscent of Eden Lake. I kept thinking I'd seen Eden Lake but no, it was this movie.
An amateurish and lacklustre affair that doesn't make me question why they tried piggy backing off what I've been told is the far superior movie.
Forgettable characters and an annoying relationship crisis at its centre contribute to this being more irritating than scary. It's kind of painful too because they use an idea from another movie as a plot twist. It's Resovoir Dogs by the way. I wish I'd just rewatched Resovoir Dogs.
To its credit, we have an adequate who-done-it set up where every character in some way seems like an obvious choice, thus making it ironically hard to pinpoint the real killer for a little bit at least.
I should have seen the twist coming, it's the least imaginative plot twist you can do but I missed it.
But you will be missing nothing by missing this.
