I'm more about PQ/AQ upgrade these days. I rarely have time to watch / have any interest in most of the special features that come with releases anyway, whether new or old.

It's nice to have them in case though.

For me to buy something i already have i need decent extras otherwise it's just another dvd and a waste of money.

That makes sense if you're not seeing an upgrade to the film itself with replacing DVD for DVD.

I saw it ages ago, but can't really remember to be honest. I'm going to get the standard edition - I don't need any more Steelbooks.

Definitely. Scared the hell out of me.

It depends

When it was first released, and I watched it in the sitting room on DVD, it was laughable

However...when I was homeless, and living in a camper van, driving around and staying over night in car-parks and lay-bys it took on a whole new meaning, and it played on my mind a lot

Before...it's a film I could watch many times over
After...it's a film I would never return to

I think Eden Lake is a tough, uncompromising, and thought-provoking movie. The performances are outstanding, from Michael Fassbender and Kelly Reilly as the adult protagonists to Jack O'Connell (before he was famous for roles in films such as Starred Up, '71, and Unbroken). The violence is extremely realistic but, because of the context, is never exploitative or overly gratuitous. I rate it very highly.
