Funny Games

A chilling psychological thriller, this film follows a family whose vacation takes a terrifying turn when they encounter two young men with sinister intentions. Starring Naomi Watts and Tim Roth, the movie is a shot-for-shot remake of the 1997 Austrian film by the same director, Michael Haneke. Known for its unsettling atmosphere and commentary on violence in media, the film challenges viewers’ perceptions of reality and fiction. While it did not receive major awards, it remains a thought-provoking piece in Haneke’s oeuvre. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
