Eden Lodge

Pretty decent suspense type horror, plenty of twists and turns that you would expect, and as its not a high busget film, don't expect this to be a polished film. Sure, there are some rough edges here and there, but there were a few things that I didn't expect.

Basically, if you watch the film, go into it not expecting the earth, and you may be surprised.

And, unfortunatly in the UK, there are plenty of B&B's called Eden Lodge, so be careful out there :)

If the acting was any more wooden, the cast would be crapping out MFI wardrobes.... ! It would of been better if the director had said "perform your lines, but if you want to add anything in do so as it would appear more realistic"

This didn't happen and what would of been a better film was ruined because everyone was waiting to deliver their lines.

What it does tell you is that anyone can become an actor and get work, regardless of if you have any talent.

The premise was good but poorly delivered. It's a shame as I thought it was going to be good.

EDEN LODGE is one of those low budget British horror films where nothing really happens apart from a halfway-decent sense of mood and place. It reminded me a lot of the film shown the previous night on the Horror Channel, SIREN, which had more exotic locales but was similarly light on plot and incident.

The story is about a sinister bed and breakfast where the guests go missing. There's no more to it than that, and fans looking for slasher horror in the form of death and gore will be disappointed as this is very tame. Instead the viewer has to put up with the tiresome acting of unknown cast members and a major plot point that seems to have been borrowed from that '70s horror classic FRIGHTMARE. The most interesting thing about EDEN LODGE is the way the title and box art blatantly copy the earlier British horror EDEN LAKE, which was about ten times more powerful and compelling than this rip-off.

When the opening credits dragged on for what seemed like forever, we should have known that was a sign of things to come.

This is a terrible film. Terrible. From the acting to the music to the script . The characters were unforgettable, apart from the baby. He was the best actor out of the whole lot.

A slasher film, a horror film, a whodunit......who knows? Its one of those that you have to keep watching to see if it gets any better......it doesn't.

It's an hour and a half of my life I'll be never get back.

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.
