FUNNY GAMES
It's been a while since a film left me with a real sense of unease. Anyone else seen it? How does it compare to the orginal? Some thoughts:
Despite showing very little gore or explicit violence, the film seems more brutal to me in retrospect than, say, Hostel.
I don't think I've ever seen a film that demonstrates so much.. hate for its own viewers. It even says to you at one point: you're going to stick around and wait for the satisfying conclusion, right? And where the family manages one stroke of retribution, the film cruelly wrenches it away in a bizarre, strange twist.
It has the best lead-in to the title sequence ever. The actual best.
I definately didn't enjoy it. I'm not sure if you're supposed to.
