Review of Funny Games (1997) by Courtney K — 30 Dec 2015

Reminds me a bit of Death Game (1977) which was also just remade (Knock Knock, 2015). it's terrifying because it's just a couple of psychopaths that happened to knock on your door; wrong place at the wrong time.

could happen to anybody. and even though I wasn't actually in this situation so I have no idea how'd i'd act, but there were more than several times that the family could've stopped what was happening.

first of all, the dad is a pussy. second of all, the mom was stupid -- why didn't she say anything to her friends on the boat? why didn't she keep hiding from cars? I don't get it. and the kid was really stupid, too.

but he's a kid so I guess he gets a pass. overall I didn't love it; but I think it's kind of a classic for lack of a better word -- and also I really just wanted to watch the remake, but I figured I should maybe see this one first.
