I have a feeling a lot of people are going to dislike Funny Games for the same reason I really enjoyed it. It's a movie that deals almost entirely in its subtleties. It manages to get its point across without being up-front about it. It has well-developed characters, all of which have differing personality traits. The villains of the story aren't stereotypical, but instead are incredibly polite young men. Funny Games isn't always the easiest film to watch, but it's one that'll be hard to forget.

The only ambiguity in Funny Games lies in who's most abused here, the characters or the audience?

The original one is just this tiny bit more subtle in every little detail.

The moments where Michael Pitt looks in to the camera ruin the whole movie - no verfremdung effects thanks..

Scariest movie I have ever seen.

Quite a disappointing movie, we don't come to know whatsoever as to who the two serial killers really are. Also the remote control scene and the direct conversation scenes with the audience really put me off.

Haneke had some interesting ideas, and set himself up an opportunity to execute, but for the most part he failed to do so. The film moved at much to slow of a pace, and could have been improved 10 fold by some simple editing.

I immediately wanted to purchase a lot of white clothing after seeing this. Loved the 2 fine young gents who stir up trouble.

Would only entertain a psychotic individual. No redeeming value or social value. Closest thing to a snuff movie.
