Eden Lake (Watkins 2008)
This episode we discuss the 2008 British horror film Hidden Lake where our discussion ranges from the social contract, to classism, to gender. The film explores the age-old question of just what one’s options are when a group of people nearby are being absolute jerks? We found that our reactions to the film said as much about us, and our different access to gender privilege, as it did the characters involved.
