Funny Games
1997 · TMDB 7.3
Directed by Michael Haneke
Two psychotic young men take a mother, father, and son hostage in their vacation cabin and force them to play sadistic "games" with one another for their own amusement.
Why it matters
Michael Haneke's chilling home-invasion thriller, where one of the tormentors (Arno Frisch) repeatedly addresses the audience directly, implicating us in the on-screen violence and challenging our appetite for it.
