She murdered two little boys in December 1968. Both victims - Martin Brown and Brian Howe - were strangled. Police reports concluded that Mary Bell had gone back after killing Brian to carve an "M" in his stomach with a razor, as well as use scissors to cut off bits of his hair and scrape part of his genitals. This sweet little girl had the words 'pure evil' written all over her pretty face. The same words, which connect to Brett and his fellow hoodies. 'Chav' is often used as a stereotype to refer to white, poorly educated, aggressive youths, but youth and aggression are not the defining attributes of a 'chav'. The term is similar to America's 'white trash' stereotype. A young pair of soon-to-be-married loving birds is terrorized, abused and tortured by a group of teenagers wielding knives. A bloody nightmare takes place in the woods near peaceful Eden Lake. A nightmare of cutting, hysterical fear and the stench of burning flesh. Just like in Spanish "Who Can Kill a Child?" (1976) the villains are just kids - kids from dysfunctional families with the senseless violence and vandalism on their minds. A moral bankruptcy of characters makes the crimes themselves as easily erasable as the videos depicting them. "Eden Lake" captures the true essence of abstract evil - it's savagely violent, disturbing and relentlessly tense assault on the viewer's mind. I see the growing amount of the children with emptiness inside everyday. The anger flows through their veins and is ready to explode in mind-shattering outburst of savage brutality. These children shed no tears - no tears for the crying victims, because they are victims themselves.
I am still waiting for "Let's Go Play at the Adams" film adaptation.
