I haven't yet watched Eden Lake, but with what little I know on the subject at the moment, I'd say it's not "objectionable" in any way considering several filmmakers have gotten horror film plots from real issues.
Sometimes this method creates great films, sometimes it creates lazy rehashes of headlines, but either way, something being too close to home doesn't sound like a make or break thing to me; in fact, I'd theorize that relating an uneasy issue in a truly scary way can be a good thing, something to help spur people into trying to make things better.

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
