Yellowstone's Kelly Reilly starred in 'British horror at its best' - and it's free to stream today
Before joining Kevin Costner on the Paramount Network drama Yellowstone, Kelly Reilly starred in a psychological thriller that's been hailed as 'British horror at its best' - and it's available to watch for free today
Before she became the formidable Beth Dutton in Yellowstone, Kelly Reilly starred in the chilling psychological thriller Eden Lake. Fans of the popular Paramount Network drama have come to recognise her as one of the show's most iconic characters over five seasons, and she'll be back on our screens soon.
But before she joined Kevin Costner in Montana, Kelly featured in a number of well-known British films, including Pride and Prejudice and the Robert Downey Jr-fronted Sherlock Holmes blockbusters.
One of her earlier leading roles was in this gripping survival thriller, which is a must-watch for Yellowstone fans keen to see where it all started for Kelly.
Now available on Amazon Prime Video, add Eden Lake to your watchlist for a thrilling end to your evening.
The film's synopsis reads: "When a couple goes to a remote lake for a romantic getaway, their quiet weekend is shattered by an aggressive group of kids.
"Rowdiness quickly turns to rage as the teens terrorize them, and a weekend outing becomes a battle for survival."
Directed by James Watkins in his feature debut, Eden Lake also features Michael Fassbender before he rose to fame with roles in Shame and X-Men: First Class, reports the Express.
BAFTA Rising Star Award winner Jack O'Connell co-stars; he later received acclaim for Starred Up, '71 and The North Water.
Director James's career soared following his striking debut, later directing the hugely successful horror flick The Woman in Black and the highly-anticipated thriller Speak No Evil with leading man James McAvoy.
Yet, it's not just us singing praises; the hidden gem continues to captivate cinephiles a staggering 16 years post its 2008 release.

"EDEN LAKE (2008) serves as one of the best examples of the bleak and unforgiving nature of '00s horror," expressed a horror aficionado on platform X (formerly Twitter ). "That ending still gives me chills."
One enthusiast hailed it as: "British horror at its best let's be real."
Elsewhere, a viewer offered a stark caution to even seasoned thriller lovers: "EDEN LAKE (2008) remains one of the most monstrously unpleasant viewing experiences in modern mainstream horror cinema.
"The whole film is a bad trip, filled with unflinching violence and characters making awful decisions. Watch it if you want to ruin your day."
Echoing similar thoughts, another stated: "Finally saw Eden Lake. So tense it was hard to watch. Super compelling performance by Kelly Reilly."
Yellowstone season 5, part 2 premieres Sunday, November 10 on Paramount. Eden Lake is available to stream on Prime Video.
