Review of Funny Games (1997) by Josh S — 22 Jul 2010
.This movie is another from a long list of movies that played at the 1997 Toronto International Film Festival. A German Thriller, and my first question is, are there any couples in Germany that are this stupid.
What we have here is a film of two young men who go from rich homes in a holiday area killing those within the homes one by one. The big surprise to me was the shotgun killing of the child. Second was the great acting of terror and shock by Susanne Lothar, she must have stayed up a week to look like she did near the end of this movie.
Full of suspense and twist, like the added flirt with the remote control. Its a hidden unheard of film here in this country and one that all should see if you like thrillers, mystery and killing. Must warn you audio in German with English Subtitles, not to be confused with the 2008 version released by Americans.
4 Stars.
