Eden Lake (2008 James Watkins & scr)

Only I could have suggested The Wild Bunch as the second half of a double bill with Miracle on 34th Street - but Q went a step further recommending this to follow Love Actually.

It's extremely nasty, though features great actors Kelly Reilly, Matthew Fassbender, Jack O'Connell and Thomas Turgoose. I felt for Kelly, who spends half the film covered in goo.

I personally would have buggered off to another location and thus avoided any trouble. What am I talking about? I wouldn't have been out there camping in the first place.

Christopher Ross (London to Brighton) shot it, in Panavision.

Amusingly I remember my first review concluding "What a shit ending. (What a great ending.)"
