Review of Benny's Video (1992) by Rob R — 02 Jun 2011

The cinematic path to Funny Games (and beyond) continues with this and it ups the shock ratio right from the get go. I wasn't fully aware of what the plot of this was so when it suddenly turned from a slightly iffy teen romance flick into, well that would be spoiler, it was quite a surprise.

Mostly a very rewarding experience (I can't say enjoyable) although I thought the escape to Egypt in the last half hour or so dragged things out a bit too much. Oh and him shaving his head is rather cliche.
