Funny Games (R, 2008)

So dang funny! LMAO

I wasn't expecting it at all; but i liked it. When every movie coming out is a Slasher Film (which i don't mind, i love Slasher flicks, (utterly excited for My Bloody Valentine 3D) it was really scary in the more terror sense than anything. I wasn't at all interested in the time-lapse view they had some of the time, but other than that; pretty good.

Otherwise don't bother its violent and disturbing film. Very suspensive

What really gets to you in a movie is not the physical effects of violence (after all, we laugh at somebody's head getting shot off in Pulp Fiction), but the emotional effects. While the violence in this film is not extremely graphic, it is nonstop and relentless. The family's plans are constantly thwarted, and the captors are happy, laughing, and polite throughout. The violence escalates and escalates in a fairly non-traditional way (I would say more, but I don't want to give anything away) and there is disappointment after disappointment, making the film extremely bleak and heavy. However, the film has a very meaningful and important point, and the violence must be present for the point to be made. Mature adults will be able to get it, but the point will probably fly over the heads of kids and teenagers, leaving them with nothing but the extreme violence.

This movie is disturbing. If the director wanted to protray the helpless emotions of an innocent family being tortured to death -- he succeeded. The comments to the camera made it almost cartoon-like. I would not waste money on a theatre experience...wait for the DVD if you must.

Welllllllllllll,first off,this is no kids.No one under 14.I have seen this when I was 10 at the movies with my dad (my 10 y/o brother didn't come bcuz he was scared) .The movie is funny yes,but in a very dark way.Haha,yes,that is very funny,but do you get the macabre message beneath it?An amazing movie,just too black humored.And the scene where the child gets shot may disturb sensitive viewers greatly.Although a great portion of the extreme stuff is offscreen,the character's reactions are extremely disturbing.This movie won't be disturbing to you if you are a desensitized piece of sh*t or a sociopath,but to others it does.Younger ones may not understand the underlying horror of the movie,but older teens will and it's not very nice when they do.This is a psychological horror.That just proves horrors don't need to be extremely gory or have tons of jump scares to be scary.It's the realism that is scary.A home invasion could happen to anyone,and that's what makes it disturbing.The director makes the atmosphere tense for the viewers to feel as if they were in the situation and emphasize with the characters.And if anyone were caught in this clusterf*ck situation,they'd be ten times more scared,knowing what they have witnessed at the movies can actually happen in real life.Thumbs Up to Michael Hanake for a great piece of emotional art.The most disturbing movie I've watched since Requiem For A Dream.
