Looking for your next horror fix? You’re in luck – a terrifying film starring one of Yellowstone’s top actors is now available for streaming, and it may just give you a panic attack.
If you happen to be someone who takes solace in unsettling and gruesome horror, Eden Lake will surely appeal to you.
The 2008 horror-thriller, directed by James Watkins (who will also be directing the upcoming Speak No Evil remake), is often compared to a British rendition of The Strangers, but with even more intense violence.
The storyline centers on a youthful duo, portrayed by Kelly Reilly (in the role of Beth, one of the most beloved characters in Yellowstone) and Michael Fassbender, who embark on a romantic retreat at a remote lake. However, their idyllic trip quickly turns into a gory ordeal as they come face to face with a gang of aggressive, native teenagers.
The group begins to antagonize them with pranks that gradually become more severe, resulting in one of the most dismal conclusions in horror movie history.
In the event that the previous statement failed to captivate you, a recent Reddit discussion inquired about the films that evoked a sense of panic in its viewers – with Eden Lake being the most popular answer.
“Eden Lake really affected me when I first saw it,”another person chimed in, with a third person adding, “I completely agree about Eden Lake, it’s full of dread.”
A fourth person added, “Eden Lake will always be a major cause of my anxiety,” while a fifth person shared, “Eden Lake and The Strangers are among my top three favorite horror films.”
Despite some fans finding it to be an effective horror, others claimed that they could only watch the film once due to its intense nature.
“One person remarked, ‘Eden Lake is a film that I can only watch once. It not only caused me to have a near heart attack, but it also angers me every time I reflect on it.’”
Another individual expressed, “I strongly dislike Eden Lake due to its immense impact! It is one of the few horror movies I can only bring myself to watch once.”
“Another person commented, “I wasn’t able to finish Eden Lake. After a tough day at work, it just triggered me too much.”
If you are interested in this film or would like to watch it again, you can stream Eden Lake for free on Tubi or Amazon Prime Video.
