The remake of a 1997 movie out of Europe, Funny Games was released to select theaters this past weekend. The intrigue of the trailer and the truth that it was solely in select theaters drew me to drive out of my way to see how twisted these two white gloved men might get in 107 minutes. Twisted, and at some points stagnant, this movie is not for many who are looking for a fast-paced hack-em-up film. The two younger males take a household hostage in their summer cabin, beneath the guise of being the sons of a business associate of the neighbor's next door household.


"Mrs. Thompson requested for some eggs" is how the young males come contained in the comfort zone of the family. Ann, the mother, comes across on the suspicious aspect and with good cause. It seems that the environment at the lake is a very serene and familiar one and any disturbance places the family on edge.

It's interesting to observe just how twisted these two younger males are and the way much emphasis they placed on politeness. Under their psychotic actions and their "humorous" games, there lies a chaotic order. "Shall we begin?" says Paul calmly after he's given out the directions earlier than each recreation. The unnerving calmness in his demeanor and voice will get shaken whenever the rules aren't adopted but his actions are swift and after he brushes his hair back, he is again to the calm and disconcerting quiet in his voice.


Just when the audience thinks the plot lastly turned around within the favor of the household, something twisted and unreal happens. I won't spoil it right here but as you allow the theater, you assume "How on the earth did that occur? What does it MEAN?"


The complete movie is unnerving in its static and nearly uneventful demeanor as a result of it takes the audience inside the torture that a household could endure under sadistic palms. There is no escape. There may be a 5 minute scene of Ann making an attempt to untie her hands. No music, no motion but you can't look away. Will one thing occur now? How about now?


You may stroll away disappointed from the movie and should even surprise why you just wasted two hours of your life sitting there watching it. It will not hit you proper then. It could also be a day or three days later but it'll creep up on you and you'll begin to marvel. What was the motive behind the 2 males enjoying their sadistic games? Were they making an attempt to teach society a lesson? Was there a objective or was it just for their sick pleasure? Who are these two younger males? Are they only wealthy children who've too much time on their arms and have seen too many motion pictures?


No matter what questions you might have in regards to the movie, they will not be answered by watching it time and again. While you're trying to find solutions, keep in mind...Be cautious who you lend eggs to during your vacation. Don't be rude. They simply may be in search of some entertainment.
