#124 - Eden Lake​

Eden Lake is a relentlessly tense and immaculately paced horror-thriller about modern youth gone wild. When a young couple goes to a remote wooded lake for a romantic getaway, their quiet weekend is shattered by an aggressive group of local kids. Rowdiness quickly turns to rage as the teens terrorize the couple in unimaginable ways, and a weekend outing becomes a bloody battle for survival.

Always loved this one for it's constant sense of dread and hopelessness. Also one of those movies that takes the ending and punches you in the face one last time. Highly recommended.

This was on my 30/30 this past Halloween and was one of the better new movies i watched. Good tension throughout and the father son relationship feel legit and honest which helps as the terror of the night heightens. Good pick.

Another Cronenberg Classic with Debbie Harry

As an aside, it’s weird af seeing Cronenberg as an occasional character on Star Trek Discovery, but he pulls it off.
 
Videodrome's been in my queue for years. I need to just sit down and watch it.

I did watch Re-Animator recently and was underwhelmed. So many 80s movies are in the "you had to be there" category in that if there's no nostalgia involved, it falls flat.

This movie has not aged well. I still enjoy it….but it’s not nearly as menacing as when I first experienced it at 9 years old.

Yep, this is one of those movies where I will openly admit that the nostalgia is doing a little talking here. But this movie was a lot of fun when I was younger, and it would felt weird to leave it off.

The Orphanage is a near-perfect blend of scares, storytelling and sentimentality. Another instance of a movie firmly entrenched in the horror category being elevated by being a superior film on many levels.

Really really like this as well as part 2. I look at it as one movie.

Very well done with the source material and the acting was great.

Pennywise is very horrifying in this take vs the really strong 1990 mini series.

This is just me, but I felt like I spent the entire run time of each of these just thinking about how much better I liked the book. This is a decent adaptation, but the existence of the book, which is genuinely excellent, kind of lessens the film a bit IMO.

More nostalgia-bait, but this one holds up fairly well IMO, in part because it's set up as a love letter to horror comic books from the 1950s. That makes it sort of timeless in the way that period pieces feel timeless - one might make this movie in 2024 and it would look more or less the same. I love the segment with Ted Danson and Leslie Nielsen in non-comedic roles. I love the segment with the monster in the crate and the shrew wife. I love the part with the roaches. Even the bit with Stephen King is good. When my kids were young, every year they would be treated to my rendition of "It's Father's Day, and I want my cake!"

I've not seen the movie (got it on my list to see soon), but the bolded is kind of the point of the book. King's novels are generally about real-life horror as much as they are supernatural terrors (The Shining is about alcoholism, Insomnia is about domestic violence, etc.). He writes a lot about the symbolism of this in the 2010 foreword to Danse Macbre. The implication in It, though it may not be explicitly stated this way, is that the adults in Derry and Pennywise have a kind of mutual understanding and they allow the children to be sacrificed for the overall benefit of the town. King writes a lot about the relationships between adults and children and saw this book as his final commentary on that subject. It reflects the blind eye that society often turns toward the needs of vulnerable children and how in their focus on their own issues, adults often overlook children who are being harmed (which is definitely true in real life).

If you're talking about the part I think you're talking about -- and I'll bet you are! -- obviously there's no way that was ever making its way into the film.
