Reviews
The Times - Cruel and brilliant... A gripping horror, Variety - Euro helmer Michael Haneke's almost shot-by-shot remake of his 1997 chiller FUNNY GAMES is as shocking and deliberately manipulative as the original movie
Consumer Advice
Contains strong sustained threat, humiliation and violence
Additional Information
In 1997, writer-director Michael Haneke (HIDDEN) made the controversial Austrian thriller, FUNNY GAMES, about two young men who terrorize a family on holiday. A decade later, Haneke was convinced by producer Chris Coen to bring the story to America, filming a nearly word-for-word, shot-for-shot English-language version, even re-creating the locations and sets as obsessively as possible. Even with the passing of a decade, the material has lost none of its power and has been critically acclaimed. <BR><BR><BR>Shortly after Ann (Naomi Watts), George (Tim Roth), and Georgie (Devon Gearhart) arrive in their country home, Peter (Brady Corbet), an eerily polite young man dressed all in white, including odd white gloves, appears on the doorstep, asking Ann if he can borrow some eggs for their neighbour. Peter is joined by Paul (Michael Pitt), and the Leopold-and-Loeb-like duo are soon doing horrible things to Ann, George, and Georgie, torturing them both physically and psychologically, for no apparent reason other than they can, referring to the whole thing as a game. And the biggest game of all is whether the family will be alive at the end. <BR>FUNNY GAMES is an intense experience, driven by Haneke's careful manipulation of both the film itself and the audience. He's trying to shake up the viewer, even having Paul address the audience directly several times, with Paul fully aware of what he is doing and how the audience is most likely responding. And in one unforgettable scene, Haneke pulls the cathartic rug right out from under the viewer, playing with the actual medium of cinema in an infuriating and ingenious way. Roth and Watts give outstanding performances as the victims, matched by Pitt and Corbet's deeply unsettling creepiness. Just as Peter and Paul (who also call themselves Tom and Jerry and Beavis and Butt-Head) alternate between calm and violent, the soundtrack alternates between classical music by Handel, Mozart, and others and hardcore punk from John Zorn and Naked City. Though difficult to watch, FUNNY GAMES is ultimately a rewarding and illuminating film, though not for the squeamish.

Arrived in poor condition. Due solely to the negligent lack of any packaging. Just placed in a grey plastic bag. Not good enough and showed complete lack of respect for the buyer and product. I asked for a new case to replace cracked one just offered partial refund or " return". Had me over a barrel as the CD is very hard to source and isn't cheap. So had no choice but to accept the partial refund. Not happy at all! Poor service in every regard.

  • Brilliant Movie

    I'd already seen this before I decided to buy it and am very pleased with the purchase. I watched it again earlier and was still as shocked by the storyline as I was the first time I saw it. A great movie which is an almost scene for scene copy of Hanekes own film of the same name, adapted perfectly for an American/European market. None of the atmosphere or tension is lost in the translation. I suggest you buy this if you're looking for a movie which will make you think.
