Twisted couple of guys who takes a family(families) hostage, while the whole time being & acting polite.
You soon find out they have some violent tendencies, but all the violence is done off camera. They often look & talk to the camera (audience), like you are part of their game, want to watch what they are doing, & are just as twisted as they are.
Good film, but not a film for everyone. -
MCT:May 5, 2008The point of this film is to torture the viewer.
Mission accomplished.
It's flawless in its intent, but as a film, it's inanely pointless. -

It's like all the bits that are typically left out of a big-budget action film--the sickness that allows people to commit violence and the grief and terror that results when the violence is perpetrated. What's more, while the psycho-killers are easily judged as "bad" for committing violent acts for their own entertainment, the movie reminds its audience that, ultimately, this cruel and sadistic spectacle is being staged for OUR entertainment. So, who's psychotic?

With the remake on the horizon, I recently rewatched this post-modern thriller.Haneke's films are never comfortable experiences, and this is no exception.It is in fact, so intense, so gruelling and so self aware of it's own message(that the audeince is as complicit in the screen violence that unfolds as the characters that they goad),that it threatens to de-rail at the half way point,only for Haneke to pull the rug out from under our feet,and take us to places we never thought we'd go.The static camera, coupled with terrifying performances, guarantees that you will always check your door is locked at night.

MCT:April 26, 2008Damn this was a surprise, didn't think it would be as good (disturbing?) as people said it was. Really liked the suspense throughout the film and not to mention an ending I was extremely pleased with.

ok, the ppl below my comment right now.....Haneke didnt intend on making a horror or thriller. He intended on making a film that sends a clear message about violence, and the audience's view and involvement with violence on film.posted 299 days ago -
I MUST HAVE WATCHED A DIFFERENT MOVIE THAN THE VIEWERS WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS GREAT MOVIE. IT IS DESCRIBED AS "BLOOD CURDLING"............"RELENTLESS IN IT'S ABILITY TO SHOCK". I FOUND IT REALLY TRIED TO BE A GOOD MOVIE AT TIMES, BUT THE ACTING WAS TERRIBLE, AND IT KEEPS YOU WATING FOR SOMETHING TRULY EXCITING TO HAPPEN, A FEW GOOD MOMENTS IN THIS MOVIE, BUT REALLY A WASTE OF TIME TO WATCH. NOT AT ALL A TRUE HORROR. MY HUSBAND A BORN AND RAISED GERMAN AFTER VIEWING THIS TOLD ME....GERMAN'S MAKE LOUSY MOVIES, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S ABOUT, AND SADLY THAT IS TRUE WITH "FUNNY GAMES". VERY DISAPPOINTING MOVIE! AND I'M A HUGE HORROR MOVIE LOVER, BUT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
