Funny Games U.S. (Blu-ray) Blu-ray, 2008Availability Delivery Returns Policy
MovieMail's ReviewPeter Wild ponders the worth of the estimable director Michael Haneke's 'latest' work. When Michael Haneke said that he was going to do an American version of his brilliant 1997 film Funny Games there was bafflement, which was compounded when it transpired that it would be a shot-for-shot remake of the original, albeit with slightly higher production values and the presence of Tim Roth and Naomi Watts. So how does it look? Well, what this remake does do is to serve to remind you what an absolute horror-shock of a movie this is. If you’re new to its premise, all you really need to know is that a nice middle class family have their home invaded by two polite but thoroughly sadistic young men who proceed to torture them physically (nearly all violence is off-screen) and psychologically, treating the whole thing as a game and implicating the viewer along the way.
