Funny Games
2008 · TMDB 6.5
Directed by Michael Haneke
When Ann, husband George, and son Georgie arrive at their holiday home they are visited by a pair of polite and seemingly pleasant young men. Armed with deceptively sweet smiles and some golf clubs, they proceed to terrorize and torture the tight-knit clan, giving them until the next day to survive.
Why it matters
Michael Haneke's English-language remake of his own 1997 film, with Naomi Watts and Tim Roth as a couple terrorised by two young men. Haneke deliberately recreates the original shot-for-shot, but the shift in language and actors alters its impact.
