There are no horror films quite like this. It,s unique. Horror is too repetitive. I credit Haneke for doin something totally different. Even thow it is a remake of Haneke,s original . Funny Games. Which was in Austrian!
First time I saw this film, I felt Nauseous. The whole point of this film is to Show blood lust in cinema. Has gone too far. how far do you go for Entertainment. That is what this film is all about!
@hopkins4545 I agree with 100% that was completely uncalled for that part almost made me sick.the kid should have gotten away or something or they should have took out that scene they should have never showed that.
this commercial is a perfect example of false advertisement in depicting how a film will be like. its a very well shot movie, and what people don't realize is that a lot of work was actually put into making the sets and shots to look exactly alike. people also don't realize that the purpose of remaking this film was gain the attention of american audiences, instead of re-releasing the Austrian version which fewer people since (for some reason) the majority of the US don't like subtitled movies..
By "satirizing" violence, all the film does is glamorize it. I highly doubt most of the people who watch this movie are going to have brunch and discuss how important nonviolence is in contemporary times. Having Michael Pitt play yet another psychopath, having a child's head blown off (oh yeah, it was off camera, who cares), hardly does anything for the morale of the general cinematic public.
It was necessary. The whole film is designed to break convention, and to be fair, you don't see it happen. In fact, the whole film is anti-violence; it's almost always kept away from us.
I liked the movie, mostly because of the disturbingness of it. That and tim being in it lol. It is a good movie if you think about what the directors trying to do...he's trying to piss the audience off. And he seems to be doing a pretty good job at it lol

Its sad that people want to see this violence and actually laugh at it. The film contained a fifteen minute scene of a mother bound and gagged crying over her dead son, only to be killed in the end. We really have lost touch with our morale.

The film sucked. Not original, not funny, not disturbing....just plain boring. What ever happened to plot lines? I guess this is what passes for "genius" nowadays. Are there any ORIGINAL film makers out there anywhere?
not original - do you realize the entire film is a shot - by - shot remake of a 1997 German film of the same name? Therefore, by definition, it is not original in ANY way.
not funny - you say it was not "meant" to be funny. How do you know what the film producers "meant"? Were you there when they wrote or filmed it? My opinion is as good as yours. Not funny.
not disturbing - I've seen too many boring films just like this for it to disturb me.
If this is your idea of good cinema, great. Enjoy.
I'm aware of that. The first time (in 1997) might be called original. Although even then it was not an original idea...that type of film had been done many times before. When he remade it, it was simply - as you said - a copy. My criticism stands. This film was not original in any way.
I'm not much of a fan of this film either, but it's better than lots of other stuff out there, which isn't saying much. they should've advertised this film as a romantic comedy or something else that it wasn't, just to up the shock value, cos that seems to be all this film is about
this is a very very good movie and i love how half the people that say they"got it" all hate it and say that they really truly "got it"...but really if you did you wouldnt have that point of view..its not like a clockwork orange it not like really anything ive ever seen....just sit back and have patience and really open your mind to a good movie theres no wasted tape... oh yeah and im never wrong and i dont use punctuation and i love spelling errors but i can still love movies!
I loved this movie, great performances by everyone, especially Michael Pitt. I don't know how anyone could watch this and not think it was scary and disturbing!
has anyone ever read in to this movie just check it out on google its not a shitty saw 9 you have to have more then 2 brain cells to look at the bigger picture this is real life just look at ian huntly
Sick Michael Haneke has contributed to 'art'which anaesthesises people to violence implying its usual and maybe OK too.For 90min the audience is oppressed by being forced to watch 2 sick youths who descend on a family of 3 and torture them for 'fun' psychologically , physically and finally kill them all. The violence is not shown explicitly but you imagine it which is a lot worse!Film cuts as they're about to do the same to yet another family. We hope for justice but none comes. Protest!
wow...this movie and it's meaning went over your head. or did it? the intention was to show how desensitized people are to violence, so maybe the message worked on you.

Hostel is nothing compared to this. This is what violence really looks like.
Believe me, the Dog is the least of the disturbing things in this film. The audience is supposed to bge a victim in this film and you will feel like a victim. Just know what you're getting in to before you enter the theatre it's not anything like this cutsey trailer
yea, i was prepared and i never felt disgusted but it was disturbing to imagine. even w. violence off-screen, it was like "SHIT WAT JUST HAPPENED? HOLY CRAP" in a good way.
some scenes were uncut and slow for like 8 min but i still enjoyed it. but i know some people HATE scenes like that.
usually i hate dogs dying in movies. but the only THIS and Planet Terror was made well for it.
oh and if your the type who hopes upon a happy ending.....be prepared.

how can somone see this movie. don't you get it?
it's for sick people, you really have to be stupid to watch somethink like that. I really don't understant how could Naomi who is a classy lady play in a horrible movie like that. Only pervs are going to watch it..what an audiance!
The movie is made to unsettle, not entertain. The whole point is to sicken the audience, make them feel almost guilty for watching this. It's a satire on gratuitous violence in cinema, American especially.
Ha. This movie is, like XMurax-san said, is a satire of sorts on American's violence. Paul frequently TALKS to the audience, making it seem much more real than Hostel, or Saw.
Besides, most of the VIOLENCE is not shown ONSCREEN, but takes place offscreen, so there isn't really alot of blood.
In short, it's more like a Hitchcock film in the way it makes you IMAGINE the violence (and if you pump up the language and all that.)
i just came here to say this video is fucking gay.
