Eden Lake (2008)

One of the new slew of films following in the wake of such modern mould-breakers such as Funny Games, Hostel, Them etc (although Funny Games is a film that stands out on its own). A young couple decide to spend the weekend at a beautry spot that's about to become a building site. Once there, the man confronts a group of adolescents who are are ruining their day. The youths turn nasty, and eventually terrorise the couple ending in a horrific conclusion.

As said, there are quite a few of these films coming out these days (Broken was another just watched previously) and this one is on a par with most. Some good shock moments, some nauseous gore, decent suspense and the now obligatory downbeat ending. Not bad.
