Kelly Reilly (158) (Eden Lake)

Once upon a time, I promised [insanejournal.com profile] jonquilles to icon the lovely Kelly Reilly -- better late than never, I suppose, although I'm defs planning on making more sometime. I freaking love her look here -- such bouncy hair! so pretty! Though I eventually reached a point where I was like "Okay, the characters are now officially too grimy and covered in blood for PB use, I am going to stop taking screencaps." It was at the exact point when she popped out of a muddy, trash-filled dumpster.

As for Eden Lake -- it's ridiculous how often I talk about this movie, because I simultaneously 1) really like it, and 2) fucking hate it. It has a message and a point behind its violence which I found fascinating, but it's still so utterly gruesome that I would never, ever rewatch it. The main character's resourcefulness & ingenuity & perseverance doesn't help a single whit and MORE FUCKING ATROCITIES!!! keep happening to her. idk, my psyche just couldn't handle it. Yet I keep bringing up Eden Lake and talking about it as such a well-done example of the torture porn genre, but I'm not sure if I would ever recommend it to someone, because I really seriously Did Not Enjoy Myself while watching it. Disturbing, horrifying, really well-done -- but it made my gut churn, and normally I consider myself fairly lead-bellied.

As an aside, considering the dirty-grimy-bloody icons later on in this set, I'm thinking she could work for PBing the ghost of a murder victim. OR SOMETHING. ugh I don't know. this movie.

KELLY REILLY
