The whole thing is just vile, even down to the small details like the radio discussion that's going on in the car about the state of the education system and 'Broken Britain'...ew

They link tbh, iconic subjects.

Anyway stop looking into it too much and taking a low-budget British film so seriously

True!

It's hard not to when that's the lens you watched the film through though in all seriousness at a subconscious level it does play into people's ideas about the 'chav' culture and who and what to fear. As much as I loved it, something like Little Britain is guilty of the very same thing

But anyway, I realise Jake only wants a film recommendation, so I shall leave it there

eden lake is part of the torture porn genre imo so it's automatically garbage

[Jack_]

Yeah, that too

[Niamh.]

Lights out is crap and I haven't seen the other one

You do raise some good points to be fair

But that still doesn't put me off the film, sorry. It's still iconic!

Oh I can understand why people would like it if they like horror, I just think it's good for people to be aware of the social context which these things exist in

Like I mentioned in passing earlier, I loved Little Britain and still do, but Vicky Pollard as a caricature for example is guilty of much the same thing

(Eden Lake was the most disgusting film I've ever seen btw. I genuinely felt violated after it finished).

I'll never watch that.

I heard a newborn gets raped in it?

Eden Lake was gory and brutal but I don't have a problem with heavy gore in films if they don't take anything away from the storyline and actually serve a purpose. It's those films that just rely on the use of excessive blood and gore for the sake of it like the Saw sequels that annoy me.

[Jake.]

ok so I just finished Don't Breathe & y'all were right, I am SHOOK

[Jake.]

I also watched Lights Out and again, I should have listened awful film

[JerseyWins]

Lights Out: 6-6.5/10 (average movie)
Don't Breathe: 8-8.5/10 (very good)

Never seen Eden Lake.

A Serbian Film is probably the most disturbing movie ever. I watched it with a bunch of friends a while ago after someone suggested it, which made it kinda funny with the reactions and all, but it's sooo gross/twisted and also just not a well put together movie in general. 2/10

I posted about Don't Breathe on the movie thread last week but feel like I have to comment again... Because I have no idea why people like it. There's no suspense, the premise is mildly retarded, and all of the characters are so genuinely unlikeable and unsympathetic that I fail to see how anyone can bring themselves to care what happens to them.

However, the turkey baster scene is straight up hilarious...
