Funny Games (18)

This movie is pure garbage, nothing but 2 rich kids sadisticly terrorizing a child a woman and a man? How does that pass as a good movie ,with every one whos innocent dying in the end? especially a 10 year old kid?So let me get this right ,all i need is a woman,man,a child and 2 idiots with threats a house next to a lake a golf club a kitchen utensil and a prop gun to make a movie? LOL what was the budget on this film 0 dollars? They usually invest money into a movie right? Overall the movie was a complete flop anyone could have directed this film. total score 0.

mystified that anyone likes this. i f**king hated this film

This film is not for the faint-hearted. If you watch this film with expectations a generic“jumpy� thriller, then you will be disappointed. The wonder of this film is that it abides to none of the usual horror clichés. The extreme realism to the plot, the dark humour, and the lack of cheesy Hollywood ending makes it, in my opinion, a true psychological thriller. It holds similarities to the British ‘Eden Lake’, and should be appreciated for the clean, understated, and down-right morbid genius of Haneke. Those who class this film as ‘boring’ or ‘unimaginative’ truly do not get the message behind the film, and are, in fact, exemplary of what Hakene mocks, the glamorisation of violence through the American media.

What can I say, shittest film ive seen in a long time.

I think this was a really terrible film. The idea however was good and imaginative but the way the film was structured and formed was horrible. 1st of all there were many parts where it was prolonged for so long i had to fast forward. 2. When they killed the son the parents did not even show any major reaction like you would normally 3rd the fictional part did not relate at all with the story 4th the fact that all of the family members died showed no justice which makes the whole film pointless really

A horror story that has the potential of creating copycat ideas. Shame on Haneke.

This film is strange and weird it was alright but definitely not very good.

By far the worst film I've ever seen. Non imaginative and stupid. What the hell was that with the remote?!? You'd have to be extremely easily pleased and shallow to get anything out of this film.... Thats nearly 2 hours of my life wasted...

Funny Games is NOT a horror film. Funny Games is NOT violent. (Well, actually it is, without actually showing any violence). Funny Games is not a date movie. Funny Games IS disturbing. Although an Austrian film from a German director, the original Funny Games was banned in Germany for over 10 years. Haneke remade Funny Games in English for the American market, where violence is an integral part of society (and Funny Games is a film ABOUT how society treats acts of violence). The original Austrian Funny Games is a better film. The original Austrian Funny Games is a cinematic masterpiece, this is just a carbon copy.

I loved this smart film. Thought-provoking, humorous (black), chilling, captivating. Fine acting, especially Watts. But not for the average American movie-goer, who simply will not get it.
