10 Best Cabin In The Woods Horror Movies

8. Eden Lake

Calling this film a hard pill to swallow doesn't do justice to the feeling of pure panic it elicits during every second of its runtime.

A couple's romantic getaway to a lake in the English countryside goes from heaven to hell when a group of teenagers decide to have some unwholesome fun with them. Kids these days with their skateboards and sadism. Whatever happened to a good old game of stickball?

Eden Lake is bleak to the point where it is actually painful. As you watch this couple scrape and scrap to survive, you want nothing more than for them to get out of it alive and in one piece. Though, the tone never once lets you forget the kind of movie you're watching. This isn't a fairy-tale with a happily ever after. No, it's a tough as nails work of survival horror that wants you, the viewer, to feel as hopeless as the characters do. And you will.
