MCT:May 14, 2008"You must admit, you brought this on yourself."
........................................................
The opening of this flick is great. Slow classical music, that aeriel shot of the family car. Then the sudden inpact of the harsh metal. it immidiatly makes you feel uneasy. Instantly uncomfortable.
Sadly the movie never tops this moment. Yes, it's stil hellish, yes it horrific, but it has that same old feeling that it could have been so much worse.
The hinting at things is disturbing, the easiness of it all more so, and of course everything thay are doing is just awful, but as a movie that relies on making you feel uneasy, it never really steps out of the realms of whats been seen before (despite this being a remake)
All the talent involved are great. Naomi does this sort of thing in her sleep, it's good seeing roth lying on the floor again, and the two attackers, led by Pitt are a scary take on modern terror.
This is a movie that needs to be seen. Some will react to it, others will avoid it, but in all honesty, while it wigged me out, it never really grabbed me, and while it made me worry about people coming to my door i never really felt as if they were twisted enough. Despite the killing an the "funny games". Okay is there something wrong with me?

These blond haired polo-clad psychopathic twins make No Country's Anton Chigurh look like Mr. Rogers. I believe the commentary on America's obsession with voyerism and violence is sharp, but it's hard to endure just how f*(cked up this film is.

MCT:May 12, 2008I had been wanting to watch the original version for years but it finally got to a point where I decided I'd just watch the remake first. Watts and Pitt are amazing. This film is definitely not for everyone but that's not a bad thing either.

MCT:May 10, 2008Spoiler ALert:
Do not read this if you want to see this movie!You have been warned.Ok now then.I wanted to see this movie because I love Naomi Watts.Now for the life of me I can't understand why the girl would bother getting involved in a movie like this.It's an utter MESS.Pointless,plotless,and so boring and dragged out at times you could go do meaningless tasks for 10 minute stretches during certan parts of this.Honestly in my opinion a complete waste of film.I would like to see the original (I think) but there is just NO answers,like why were these 2 white gloved weirdos doing all tyhis crap AT ALL?Also WHO in their right minds could just carry on and barely even cry or be upset after their son has just been blown away in front of them.WHAAAAAAAAAAAATEVER.Totally unrealistic.CRAP I really wanted to like this one.

Is a frame for frame of Michael Haneke original film from '98 but in English language.It starts getting funny with the psychos playing these silly & mind games but after awhile this perverse tale of sadism gets boring.The film could've been interesting if there was more to the story instead of seeing the reaction of people being tortured & potential to see few effective scenes if it wasn't off screen.As the film progresses it feels like is taking too long to get to the point besides can't help thinking of "A clockwork Orange" which is more violent & perverse than this one.

I hear the remake is going to be exactly like the original... check out the trailer on youtube, the scenes match up perfectly and it looks really good.

I've seen the original. I was surprised to hear that Michael Haneke wanted to make the English version. I wonder if he will replicate the original in this new version because the original is very very bleak. Wonder if Hollywood and America can stomach it. I remember Dutch director George Sluizer when remaking his bleak thriller "The Vanishing" as the English-speaking Hollywood version "The Vanishing", he replaced the bleak storyline with a more happy-ended one. I wonder if Haneke will do the same with this.
