I'm missing the remote scene from the original. So, I'm the only one who is on the "Guys" side?

Some guy here commented "So meta. So smart. So good" Yeah, meta. That's the word. And that's the reason why I liked it so much. It's truly a must watch if you're a fan of the genre [spoiler] expect the 4th wall to get rekt [/spoiler]

Almost completely identical to the 1997 version I saw previously, but the acting is more convincing. First-class psychological violence will leave you disturbed.

This film is much more than violence, if it wasn't. it'd be a typical bloody meaningless film. This movie does an excellent film to make the audience feel the twisted emotions of the two serial "killers", this film was meant to prove what a true psychological thriller looks like, i highly enjoyed the film..but since the film did such a great job at making me feel damaged psychologically, i will wait a while before attempting a second view, but that might just be me.

After watching the “Knock knock” first, [spoiler] I really was on their side [/spoiler] and I did not expect that. Very dark, psychological and cool thriller. Recommended!

As someone who likes movies about serial killers, I highly enjoyed this movie. I found the two serial killers- especially Paul- fun to watch and play off of one another, and the irony in their mannerisms (e.g. how seemingly friendly and polite they were the entire time while tormenting the family) quite humorous. I also found it ingenious how they used the relationships between the families to line up consecutive victims with the same ruse, and liked how Paul looked/spoke to the camera a few times, as it gave me a feeling of being more engaged with the story.

I would have rated it higher if not for two things:
1) How much it dragged in the time between the two leaving after they killed Georgie and when they returned
2) The random rewind scene, which came out of nowhere and just didn't feel like it fit/made sense

Other than that, it was quite good, and was definitely one of the more fun to watch horror/thriller movies I've seen in a while.

yet another "fascination with the violence" movie. definitely not my style.

It took me a while to finish watching it, such a boring and slow movie.

This movie is the perfect example why you never trust a “happy ending”

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Funny Games’:

1. Was this film all about torturing the family? Or torturing us? The fourth wall break tells me it’s the latter. That along with an excruciating pace filled with circling dialogue, characters making nonsensical decisions, and that mothertruckin’ REWIND. Ugh, that pissed me off. And I’m fairly certain that was the point.

2. Torture aside, I wasn’t bored. The performances were solid. And I found the decision to take major moments off-camera interesting. Not great, interesting. Reviewing this film is a challenge.

3. It certainly wasn’t predictable. No matter how many windows I expected them to appear in front of, or how many cabinets I thought they’d spring from, I somehow knew it just wasn’t that kind of movie.

Seems to be one idea drawn out. This makes it feel slow and non progressive. The main bad guys are too camp to be taken seriously. It's like they belong in an Austin Powers movie. It's not relatable on any level. It's not psychological nor a commentary on society, its just plain hollowl Seems like a child wrote it, from what seems like a twenty minute egg sketch near the start to the magic remote that rewinds time.

Haneke FTW!
