FrightFest

Despite having a weekend pass I couldn't do the first day (or evening rather) of Frightfest so only got to see Eden Lake a couple of days back on it's general release. I have to say right now it's one of the best films I've seen this year and got an instant 10/10 score from myself. I'm with The Soap...
