And yes, in answer to a poster above, I do consider Hellraiser to be pretty much British, in spite of American redubs.

I thought "Eden Lake" was pure rubbish,I'm more of a fan of '50s juvenile delinquent films which I thought "Eden Lake" was a modern spin on-grab a headline and make a film out of it.

"Mum and Dad" was good fun and "The Children" was really impressive.

One thought I had whilst watching it was why is she wearing a low cut dress for camping.

I also thought it could be seen as a British take on all the recent hillbilly/mutant/redneck flicks that have been everywhere post TCM remake and "Wrong Turn".

i voted for 'the wicker man', but VC is my second favourite. i think its maybe the most surreal, erotic, and artistically ambitious hammer film, and certainly the most underrated.
