Eden Lodge

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.

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.

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.

This was not a good film. Poor acting, very little plot, and just a lot of weirdness. It was like the cast came out of an 80's music video or something. And there were some very weird accents! Also very strange was the lighting. Daylight seemed to last for 5 minutes. Someone starts walking across a field, and by the time they get to the woods at the end (of course, where you'd want to be in a horror film) it's pitch black. So pitch black you couldn't really see what was going on!! It all just felt very amateur and silly, too many "why...?" questions to really start asking. However amateur and silly isn't necessarily a bad thing! It was quite refreshing in its own way and entertaining. I do love horror and there were a few moments in this that really made me jump (and laugh). It's so bad it's actually a little bit good!

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 :)
