Eden Lake (2009)

This has to be up there with my favourite films of all time. More of a gruesome thriller than a horror, a couple go camping and are terrorised by a gang of teen yobs from the nearby town. Scenes of torture are incredibly disturbing. What makes this film so frightening is that things like this have actually happened; for example the James Bulger case and the more recent Doncaster attacks. Reports in recent years about the growing yob culture further fuel the fear created by this film. The gang of youths have a very believeable group dynamic and the ending is both brilliant and terrible - undoubtedly a MUST SEE film.
