you can't call that a remake , all the scenes are EXACLTY the same . what is the point of 100% copying a movie . A good example is "the hill have eyes" by alexandro aja , this remake try new things and does it better than the ogriginal one , this is the point of a remake . i just don't see why they did a new funny game ... just to swap the actors and have a better picture ?
This movie is designed to annoy you and put you in an uncomfortable mood, you can see it right from the start where the classical music turns into an annoying super loud death metal. Thats what the seen with the remote did too, it made you feel good for a moment and then took it away.
I agree this movie actually makes me think of A Clockwork Orange. The house invasion theme, and the white clothes. The way that unlike most dramas and horror these killers actually seem like people. They have depth and thats something many horrors lack. Something about their charm and the way they know how to work their way into someone's mind (and house!) is terrifying. Alex had always been my favorite movie killer but I think its finally changed to this duo, specifically Paul ♥
The point is that they were never going to escape, their fate was sealed by the movie’s script. The scene where Paul rewinded the scene emphasized this point.
What an incredible movie. Most movies glorify violence, destruction, and mayhem, while this movie shows the true face of it. It tortures it's audience with a mix of brutality and humour and keeps you thinking of it long after the credits finish rolling. And boy is it funny! The constant bickering between "Peter" and "Paul", the giddiness of which they carry out their torturing, and the shattering of the fourth wall provide multiple laughs for the audience. This movie was truly a masterpiece.
I saw this movie in... 2015? 2016? Years after it came out, and almost a decade later found myself googling "movie guys borrow eggs" because it's still on my mind. Absolutely shows the true face of it - well put.
@@iREP87 sure, here's a heads up: there is a scene where the mother is forced to strip naked and get objectified before being allowed to put her undergarments back on. The scene doesn't go any further than that, she's not touched and nothing lower than her collarbone is shown, but it's still HIGHLY uncomfortable. If you're sensitive to scenes of SA, it may be too much for you.
Michael Pitt was really good in this and he is a very underrated actor. I enjoyed the parts especially where he would look into the camera and talk to the audience.
Remember Haneke made this movie and said "if you manage to sit through the entire movie without walking out....your part of the problem I am pointing out". Film is basically a big fuck you to the audience.
+Lewis C I just wanted to see the ending man :( this movie made me feel extremely unnerved, I really wanted to stop watching it. (got so happy when they left for a while, wish it stayed that way)
+Lewis C so i'm guessing you were too wimpy to sit through the whole thing? i'll be honest i fucking hated this movie but i sat through the whole thing....why? because i was hoping the family would fight back and at least kill one of those little bastards, that's why. was i disappointed at the end? yes. did i enjoy anything about the movie? nope. would i ever watch it again? nope i'd like to see what the point of this movie was though
Oh don't get me wrong I'm not pointing fingers or saying people are awful because the they manage to watch it. I just think, well know from interviews he's done, that haneke intentionally made it too make a point about voyerusim. I'll say this he's a great film maker but he does sometimes come off as aloof and disdainful towards people in general. the concept of this film is incredible even if the actually film itself is not.
this movie serves a purpose to put into perspective how hilariously stupid horror movies are, personally I found the dialogue between the two "antagonists" perfect throughout the whole film. their lack of seriousness in every horrific situation they bring upon the family is a fantastic representation of how our society treats every tragic news story no matter how awful they might be.
Chamblabla i don’t understand why a movie must be a reflection of society or any other topic/ concept?? I’m sure this movie didn’t have any given message or am I wrong ?
The problem of this movie is that nobody gets the point. It is a criticism of society and the glorification of violence. The aim of the movie is to make violence look as it is: pointless and horrible.
I think the film is trying to say violence is pointless a little more than sickening. The entire film breaks so many rules. It doesn't really even have a point, its almost frustrating. Just like violence.
Not everyone will have the same point of view as me about the two men as antagonist, but the reason why they’re antagonists at the beginning didn’t seem that clear for me.
I absolutely love this trailer. Usually, trailers either make the film look a hundred times better than it is or don't do it justice at all. This is perfect, really.
BUT IF THE GOOD GUYS DONT WIN I CANT FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF VICARIOUSLY!!!! I hate people claiming a movie sucked because it didn't fulfill their stupid power fantasies and trick them into thinking the world is a better place.
i don't think thats why they didn't like it. This isn't an enjoyable movie to watch. It's well acted but it's trying to make a point. Which is not really cinema. just write an essay...
nanoaug I think some, or most just say it sucked because it seemed unrealistic on certain parts. Regardless of the ending, as long as it's realistic is what people want. The more realist the better which movie directors are aware of, but then again life doesn't always play out like we want them to so its kinda hard to make a movie realistic to the point where it seems like real life which would rather be creepy asf in a way
I love the way the two antagonists play off each other. Paul has a charming confidence and Peter has a shy endearing nature(well they do at first lol).
This movie is great because it manages to be absolutely insane, thrilling and different all at the same time. I've never seen anything like it before and the acting is just fantastic. Also, they manage to make me just love the bad guys and be on their side more than the protagonist.
This movie was bloodcurdling and pretty unsettling when i first saw it yesterday. The fact that the film doesn't have any music makes it all the more horrifying each scene.

Funny Games is a centerpiece in cinema history and i loved every minute of it.
I have to be honest, if you’ve seen this movie and hated it there is a good reason for it. The movie is black comedy personified. This movie is pure creative energy. If you look at this movie as a horror movie you’ll be disappointed, if you look at it as self-aware comedy it’s a masterpiece. Listen closely to the ending, there is a point in the movie where he rewinds the movie to prevent dying, he breaks the fourth wall multiple times. After watching this recently I established a whole new appreciation for it. I watched it when it came out and enjoyed it but I have to say I enjoy it a lot more now and see it as a must have to my collection.
If you're thinking about watching this movie... Ask yourself, are you the kind of person who likes to think proactively about the heart of a movie? Maybe even to the point of getting to the roots of why entertainment exists in the first place? Watch it, this film is definitely for you. Or are you the kind of person who watches movies for the sake of being entertained for that particular moment? To watch it only to feel some kind of vicarious pleasure of what the characters are feeling? Don't watch it, this film will fly right over your head. Whether you like it or not, you must admit this film is worthy of conversation. This movie does the exact opposite of what we are conditioned to seeing in traditional films. Most movies are black and white, usually easy to understand, and it gives us what we want. Funny Games is entirely gray matter, it teases us to expect what we're conditioned should happen, then it gives us an unfair outcome instead. Most films are about "fantasy fulfillment", the point of Funny Games is basically saying "you're a fucked up individual for wanting to see this type of genre, might as well fuck you up for it... you're into that kinda thing anyway".
im watching it for the first time right now loved fucked up movies! a movie that i watch all time texas chainsaw massacre the beginning is literally just a guy chainsaw murdering and doing surgery with a chainsaw for an hour and 40 minutes lol
That's what I loved about the movie. Where there is no hope at the end and the bad guys win. Every single horror movie is the same shit, happy ending. Btw the remote scene was made to make you feel like the movie has no chance of changing. Everybody's going to die and the family lost the bet.
uhm.. most horror movies end up with a twist and a bad ending so i don't know what you're talking about. other than that,,i agree that the movie was really good!!
@@lukess.s actually no. most horror films end with a "fake" happy ending twist or with everyone good dead. dont know what horrors youve been watching lol
This movie is meant to break the rules that American mainstream movies are made of and that viewers abide to. This is the greatness of this film, it's been made by someone with great insight into human psychology. When I watched Hostel I was surprised that despite the amount of gore and disgust nobody left the theatre. When Funny Games was in theatres a multitude of people left after 30 minutes.
really? hahah what a bunch of pussies. I bet they left when the kid died. The average sheep movie viewer has to be spoon fed a happy ending where Naomi's watt's character overpowers two guys twice her size (yeah right!) or they won't be happy. Either that or the reverse time bait probably got those ppl, they were cheering and then the film took it all away from them lmao. I bet they walked out after either of those 2 parts in a huff. I would have heckled them.
That would be me. I couldn't watch more than about 30 minutes of this without getting very upset. I don't know what's the matter with you people that you can sit and watch something like this and call it your favorite movie. Yes, it's brilliantly made but that makes it all the more hideous.
Ed Zung You have to have a disturbed mind to think killing and torturing is a funny game, thats why it's tittled so. Two mentally disturbed individuals going out and killing just for the fun of it.
This movie is a very good example of a remake that makes it better or almost better than the original. Michael Pitt and Brady Corbet were amazing as Paul and Peter. The innoncence, the purety and the notoriety of the family was portrayed in a better way as well in that version in my opinion. Michael Haneke have a sick mind. This movie is a gem for me, and a brilliant piece of acting. Loved it. The opening is a classic.
I loved that film, because I didn't get what i was expecting. Most people who doesn't like it, also hear and see mainstream music and films, same chords and plot over and over again. They want their heros, and rather like open-endings than unsatisying ones. I've got a recommandation for all of those: Transformers 4.
Grow up a little bit, find some sort of happiness (if your mental health allows that) and then turn on the news for a week and realize this is the silliest most unrealistic piece of wanna be horror and then you'll perhaps be able to find some real horror works in cinema. If you still find this appealing after those lengthy and for yourself difficult processes then you either need to seek counseling or perhaps enroll in some sort of online college course to better understand human interaction ;)
This is one of the greatest films I've ever seen. It's my favorite, too. This and the original are amazing and anyone who doesn't appreciate its unique style and story line(not to mention great acting) really needs to shut up and learn what a real psychological movie should be like.
I love the idea that people went to watch the film after seeing this trailer and where then shocked to see just how different the film actually is. Honestly i think this trailer is a big part of the film cus most people would be expecting the film to be exactly like the trailer and not only is it not it completely changes the way you think about horror films its honestly brilliant
This movie will really fuck with your brain I was frustrated, uncomfortable, disturbed upset, emotional and empty. I wanted to climb through the screen and do some harm but all I could do was sit and watch what was happening unable to do anything until the very end still has an effect on me.
+Stona Raptor its a shot for shot remake of the original for an american audience. be grateful the same director was involved and spread the word on such a great movie.
duma maybe the original in german doesnt work for non german speakers. The austrian accent is commonly percieved as sort of cute, but blended with a sadistic murderer it makes it hella creepy
This movie was incredible, if you can even call it a movie (I think it was more of an experience). If you like films that leave you feeling uneasy, and shaky, then you will love this. Very Clockwork Orange!
I first saw Funny Games haphazardly, on HBO about five years ago, and it changed my life. Before that I hadn't seen Funny Games and then by consequence of having experienced it its existence became known to me. I still think about it from time to time.
This movie is inherently designed to make you uncomfortable. As such, it is more of an artistic statement than it is a piece of entertainment. To try to view it in any other way makes it intolerable, unless one is entertained by suffering. You have been warned.
What People might/could do if there are no consequences In the end they speak about differen universes (reality/fiction) and how they now are in the fiction one
Aeroldoth3 The other statement that it's making is deep down people enjoy watching the bad guys win. They created two realities to demonstrate that even though you may say you want the protagonist to win that is often a lie. There is also no reason why the guys are being cruel other then for our (views) entertainment. It makes you question how messed up we are as a society. Great movie though.
is this movie extremely brutal? For like, ripping stomach or brains, or like axing feet or hands? coz i cant bare to watch that kind of thriller. I'm curious to watch this but kinda afraid.
I would argue that it does in the sense that it tricks the audience into thinking it's a typical horror movie where the family wins, which is what the movie actually does multiple times.
Could someone make me feel better about the tv remote part? I remember watching this years ago and loving it all the way through aside from that one scene, there is probably a point I missed.
If people would pay attention to the boat scene and dialogue between Peter and Paul, when he pushes her into the water, you could get a lot more from this movie. The boat dialogue is on purpose. The director already tells us the point of the movie but he also gives us a window to theorize imo. My take/theory on the movie; there are two constants, Peter & a family/sidekick. The family/sidekick are a random type of "actors in the movie", this is one of the reasons he keeps calling him random names of the past sidekicks who make mistakes and everything else. Peter is trapped in a typical horror movie, but he becomes aware of this and learns people are watching and hoping for the turnaround for the family. The time when they defeat the bad guys. It's apparent that he gets annoyed at so many things, even with his sidekick who clearly shows he's not aware he's in a movie. It's a cycle that he keeps punishing viewers for expecting the inevitable "tables turning". It's his only form of communication. He's in the anti-material world. He addresses us and is aware of us completely. He has games that he finds funny with the audience, since the family(s) of each different movie's anti-material-multiverse, they seamlessly visit, are not real. He learns powers to rewind, interact, reset the day and prey on our desire to escape and root for the family(s). The family(s) never realize a reset and the boat is a kind of gateway to the next lake family(s), beginning of the movie. His disdain for the rules of the game he made up and the growing annoyance of repeating scenarios will only heighten and get more severe with each new audience. He's not going to leave you with any positivity or letting any hero's save the day unless one finds a way into the anti-material world. Not a perfect theory but how I see it.
I don't think it's any of that, I think that this is just a movie that questions why you're watching it. Is it for the gore? Well, you get none of that, all the violence is conveniently offscreen. Action? You're forced to sit through over half an hour of nothing partway through. Drama? Utterly shattered by the TV remote. Hope? Dashed by the same thing, and doubly so when they toss the knife away in the boat. What else does a slasher film have to offer? ...So the reason he brings up fiction - and then stares right at the audience in the last shot - is because if you're still watching and haven't walked out of the theater at that point, it must be because you're sick in the head, exactly like him. The only thing this movie truly has for you is cruelty, made as realistic as possible. Your mind is in the fiction, it's "real" enough to you to keep watching despite denying you any reason to continue, and so in the end all you've really done is watch a "real" family get tortured for no greater purpose. That's pure evil.
@@TooFewSecrets you're projecting your own preferences. At least OP introspected and put forth his theory. Yours is just some subjective rant about evil based on your feelings. Imagine this reductive rant about a happy Christmas film or kids movie, it would make equally no sense. It's only use is for morally outraged ppl who want to agree. OP's theory was way better. I got tons from the film.I loved the atmosphere, the tension, the characters (imagining what their upbringing was etc) and dozens of other things. It wasn't meant to be a slasher...If you walk out of the theatre I think it says more about you being a dull conforming idiot honestly.
My god, never expected this film to get this much hate. Look, if you wanna see something more different than what you are used to, then I would recommend this movie. Michael Haneke is a fucking fantastic director with such a fascinating style and has no absolutely no problem making original films. But if you decide too watch this on a slow friday night, expecting too see another typical horror movie, you will probably be dissapointed. The problem with these types of films, is that you sometimes have to know what you are about too watch.
Reasons these guys probably aren't really guys, but demons: - the controller rewinding time. - the dog barking like crazy trying to protect his pack. - the fact that they had to be "let in" the house (reason for the eggs) every time. They have to have a reason (they could just barge in, but they don't, or more accurately, can't.)
+greenviolets1 Great comment. This is really the best way to explain what this movie was pointing out. I totally understand its obvious meta-satirical nature, but to be honest, I liked the OP's interpretation, too. If the whole breaking the fourth wall/you shouldn't break the rules/reality vs fiction/mocking the audience aspects were not present, I might have suspected that there was something supernatural about these guys. lol
this is maybe the best thriller ever made. i love thrillers, and this got everything a good thriller needs. it never stops to surprise. and the ending is just faboulus. 8/10
Even though this movie is sick,its one of my favorites,and has some of the best acting ever.You could tell all the actors really were invested and in tune with the characters,the victims and villians.
One of my top guilty pleasures movie, not because I though it was bad, it's because of how fucked up and sadistic it is, especially when they are constantly breaking the 4th wall and making us feel like their accomplices.
@Isaiah Brody I was laughing because it's an uncomfortable laugh. One point of this movie is for you to realize how messed up it is. The dark humor in this is so overwhelming, it makes you uncomfortable. Also as a viewer, this movie is a bit like a satire. A perfect example is like dank memes. Some people process things different, like how some people laugh in not funny moments.
Absolutely brilliant film. the two young killers are ingeniously written and the storyline is very original. It's more an experience or a mind exercise rather than a standard film. It raises some very good points and i like the challenging nature of it. Would be interesting to see those characters again, but i doubt it was ever intended for a sequel.
Teo Oron I think they're demons for a couple reasons. -Humans can't rewind time, obviously. -Dogs sense demonic shit and that lovely sweet dog was FREAKING OUT...why they killed him. and the weird shit they were saying at the end.

the most frustrating thing about this movie is that Ann could have escaped.
Then Paul would just rewind it.
Well, to bad there is no time machine for those murdered people in Orlando.

This is the most delightful trailer for one of the greatest, sadistic, home invasion films. Michael Haneke is incredible.

He's a bit camp in it though.
Michael Pitt... He was in the dreamers too. I knew I recognized him.
Laura Martinez Reales Please. He's a funny looking dude.
Walter widmaier III his lipsreminded me to Angelina Jolie, but I think he is handsome.

funny enough tgats what i kept thinking about
Oh thank bog I thought I was the only one that viddied the similarities.
It's also because of the golf clubs, I think. They reminded me of the walking sticks

Listen closely to the ending, there is a point in the movie where he rewinds the movie to prevent dying, he breaks the fourth wall multiple times. After watching this recently I established a whole new appreciation for it. I watched it when it came out and enjoyed it but I have to say I enjoy it a lot more now and see it as a must have to my collection.
stop overthinking it, even the writers probably didnt think like that. This was utterly ridiculous
If you're thinking about watching this movie...
Ask yourself, are you the kind of person who likes to think proactively about the heart of a movie? Maybe even to the point of getting to the roots of why entertainment exists in the first place? Watch it, this film is definitely for you.
Or are you the kind of person who watches movies for the sake of being entertained for that particular moment? To watch it only to feel some kind of vicarious pleasure of what the characters are feeling? Don't watch it, this film will fly right over your head.
Whether you like it or not, you must admit this film is worthy of conversation. This movie does the exact opposite of what we are conditioned to seeing in traditional films. Most movies are black and white, usually easy to understand, and it gives us what we want. Funny Games is entirely gray matter, it teases us to expect what we're conditioned should happen, then it gives us an unfair outcome instead. Most films are about "fantasy fulfillment", the point of Funny Games is basically saying "you're a fucked up individual for wanting to see this type of genre, might as well fuck you up for it... you're into that kinda thing anyway".
Your comment made me not want to watch this.
Your comment made me want to watch this. hahahahahahahahaha
That was my first thought.
im watching it for the first time right now loved fucked up movies! a movie that i watch all time texas chainsaw massacre the beginning is literally just a guy chainsaw murdering and doing surgery with a chainsaw for an hour and 40 minutes lol
Amanda as if provoking conversation meant anything where lame movies are concerned. It means nothing.
That's what I loved about the movie. Where there is no hope at the end and the bad guys win. Every single horror movie is the same shit, happy ending. Btw the remote scene was made to make you feel like the movie has no chance of changing. Everybody's going to die and the family lost the bet.
uhm.. most horror movies end up with a twist and a bad ending so i don't know what you're talking about. other than that,,i agree that the movie was really good!!
Ya it but it didn't deliver it well for me I mean I liked the killers, the kid, and the 4th wall thing but none of it made the ending work for me
@@klipblop3824 actually no, most horror films end with a relatively happy ending.
@@lukess.s actually no. most horror films end with a "fake" happy ending twist or with everyone good dead. dont know what horrors youve been watching lol
This movie is meant to break the rules that American mainstream movies are made of and that viewers abide to. This is the greatness of this film, it's been made by someone with great insight into human psychology. When I watched Hostel I was surprised that despite the amount of gore and disgust nobody left the theatre. When Funny Games was in theatres a multitude of people left after 30 minutes.
really? hahah what a bunch of pussies. I bet they left when the kid died. The average sheep movie viewer has to be spoon fed a happy ending where Naomi's watt's character overpowers two guys twice her size (yeah right!) or they won't be happy. Either that or the reverse time bait probably got those ppl, they were cheering and then the film took it all away from them lmao. I bet they walked out after either of those 2 parts in a huff. I would have heckled them.
That would be me. I couldn't watch more than about 30 minutes of this without getting very upset. I don't know what's the matter with you people that you can sit and watch something like this and call it your favorite movie. Yes, it's brilliantly made but that makes it all the more hideous.
those games werent funny
nie pierdol
Ed Zung You have to have a disturbed mind to think killing and torturing is a funny game, thats why it's tittled so. Two mentally disturbed individuals going out and killing just for the fun of it.
@@ramonmoostoos3487 thank you captain obvious :D
No they weren’t funny; they were amazing
@@ramonmoostoos3487 i thought it was pretty funny
I came here because of the knock knock trailer
Same here.
Yuliani Astuti because of that one comment..
yep :D but both films are so shit 😂😂
+xXGameMonster123Xx Kelbovskij are you refering to this film?
Knock knock trailer? Is the movie called knock knock ??
JUST GIVE THEM THE FUCKING EGGS UGHHH
Then they would find a another way to fuck them up.
Michael Pitt is so absolutely great in everything he does.
The director must be crazy to direct such a CRAZY movie!
And he directed it TWO times
Vinilguy That makes him TWICE as crazy! MATH YO
This movie is a very good example of a remake that makes it better or almost better than the original. Michael Pitt and Brady Corbet were amazing as Paul and Peter. The innoncence, the purety and the notoriety of the family was portrayed in a better way as well in that version in my opinion. Michael Haneke have a sick mind. This movie is a gem for me, and a brilliant piece of acting. Loved it. The opening is a classic.
without a doubt the scariest thing i have ever seen in my life
I saw this film once and never want to again, it's an astonishing film but once is enough.
I loved that film, because I didn't get what i was expecting. Most people who doesn't like it, also hear and see mainstream music and films, same chords and plot over and over again. They want their heros, and rather like open-endings than unsatisying ones. I've got a recommandation for all of those: Transformers 4.
Grow up a little bit, find some sort of happiness (if your mental health allows that) and then turn on the news for a week and realize this is the silliest most unrealistic piece of wanna be horror and then you'll perhaps be able to find some real horror works in cinema.
If you still find this appealing after those lengthy and for yourself difficult processes then you either need to seek counseling or perhaps enroll in some sort of online college course to better understand human interaction ;)
like too, but honestly the remote part in this movie is just stupid and unrealistic...when i saw that, I was really disappointed...
Idiot if you liked this film your brain got raped
bugy bug you liked this movie? R u dead
Nikunj Majithia im a psycho
I loved this movie. The tension was great, the filming was excelent, the acting was magnificent. Overall a great film!
This is one of the greatest films I've ever seen. It's my favorite, too. This and the original are amazing and anyone who doesn't appreciate its unique style and story line(not to mention great acting) really needs to shut up and learn what a real psychological movie should be like.
"To shut up" we can't have a point of vue in this world ?!
The Trailer for this movie is just as genius as the film, it intentionally paints an inaccurate portrait of what the film is.
I love the idea that people went to watch the film after seeing this trailer and where then shocked to see just how different the film actually is. Honestly i think this trailer is a big part of the film cus most people would be expecting the film to be exactly like the trailer and not only is it not it completely changes the way you think about horror films its honestly brilliant
This movie will really fuck with your brain I was frustrated, uncomfortable, disturbed upset, emotional and empty. I wanted to climb through the screen and do some harm but all I could do was sit and watch what was happening unable to do anything until the very end still has an effect on me.
well, you need to see the original then. Way better.
+Stona Raptor its a shot for shot remake of the original for an american audience. be grateful the same director was involved and spread the word on such a great movie.
the original had shittier acting though
duma maybe the original in german doesnt work for non german speakers. The austrian accent is commonly percieved as sort of cute, but blended with a sadistic murderer it makes it hella creepy
I watched this years ago. All I remember was being extremely frustrated throughout the entire thing 😂
my bp has gone up .i have never had this in my entire life watching a movie
Love this movie. One of Haeneke's most entertaining
Oh god even the trailers are the same
In the Hall of the Mountain King makes any trailer look good
This movie was incredible, if you can even call it a movie (I think it was more of an experience). If you like films that leave you feeling uneasy, and shaky, then you will love this. Very Clockwork Orange!
In some way is trailer reminds of a clockwork orange
koolnkalm85 well,,same thought..
Absolutely!!Thought it as well lol
the outfits of 2 antagonists resemble that of clockwork orange，white color clothes， gloves，and they wear it neat.
I first saw Funny Games haphazardly, on HBO about five years ago, and it changed my life. Before that I hadn't seen Funny Games and then by consequence of having experienced it its existence became known to me. I still think about it from time to time.
Love it! Absolutely amazing
This movie fucked me up
This movie is inherently designed to make you uncomfortable. As such, it is more of an artistic statement than it is a piece of entertainment.
To try to view it in any other way makes it intolerable, unless one is entertained by suffering. You have been warned.
What "statement" is the movie making?
What People might/could do if there are no consequences
In the end they speak about differen universes (reality/fiction) and how they now are in the fiction one
Aeroldoth3 The other statement that it's making is deep down people enjoy watching the bad guys win. They created two realities to demonstrate that even though you may say you want the protagonist to win that is often a lie. There is also no reason why the guys are being cruel other then for our (views) entertainment. It makes you question how messed up we are as a society. Great movie though.
This movie wasn't uncomfortable it was boring
is this movie extremely brutal? For like, ripping stomach or brains, or like axing feet or hands? coz i cant bare to watch that kind of thriller. I'm curious to watch this but kinda afraid.
Ergh I don't think this trailer does the movie justice at all
I would argue that it does in the sense that it tricks the audience into thinking it's a typical horror movie where the family wins, which is what the movie actually does multiple times.
I suppose that's true, but I still don't like it.
I think to make a trailer that does the movie justice would almost be a disservice to the movie
You can't win.
Pretty much
The best part about it is when you realize what the plot twist is after being completely blind
love how this doesnt spoil the true intentions of the film
Family Vacation GONE SENSUAL
Could someone make me feel better about the tv remote part? I remember watching this years ago and loving it all the way through aside from that one scene, there is probably a point I missed.
I hope there's a sequel to this film; both the original and the remake.
One that involves and includes Paul and Peter's parents as well as their origin story.
Red Eye host Greg Gutfeld brought me here. Let the games begin!
That's a beautiful summer house.
Whenever something chaotic is happening in my life, I turn on In the Hall of the Mountain King. It ALWAYS fits.
I will say Pitt has a smart pick of movies, he was in The Dreamers which wasn't a horror flick but a beautiful, original piece of film.
If people would pay attention to the boat scene and dialogue between Peter and Paul, when he pushes her into the water, you could get a lot more from this movie. The boat dialogue is on purpose. The director already tells us the point of the movie but he also gives us a window to theorize imo.
My take/theory on the movie; there are two constants, Peter & a family/sidekick. The family/sidekick are a random type of "actors in the movie", this is one of the reasons he keeps calling him random names of the past sidekicks who make mistakes and everything else.
Peter is trapped in a typical horror movie, but he becomes aware of this and learns people are watching and hoping for the turnaround for the family. The time when they defeat the bad guys. It's apparent that he gets annoyed at so many things, even with his sidekick who clearly shows he's not aware he's in a movie. It's a cycle that he keeps punishing viewers for expecting the inevitable "tables turning". It's his only form of communication. He's in the anti-material world.
He addresses us and is aware of us completely. He has games that he finds funny with the audience, since the family(s) of each different movie's anti-material-multiverse, they seamlessly visit, are not real.
He learns powers to rewind, interact, reset the day and prey on our desire to escape and root for the family(s). The family(s) never realize a reset and the boat is a kind of gateway to the next lake family(s), beginning of the movie. His disdain for the rules of the game he made up and the growing annoyance of repeating scenarios will only heighten and get more severe with each new audience.
He's not going to leave you with any positivity or letting any hero's save the day unless one finds a way into the anti-material world.
Not a perfect theory but how I see it.
So many words, such little understanding.
@@salazam that's on you lmao
I don't think it's any of that, I think that this is just a movie that questions why you're watching it. Is it for the gore? Well, you get none of that, all the violence is conveniently offscreen. Action? You're forced to sit through over half an hour of nothing partway through. Drama? Utterly shattered by the TV remote. Hope? Dashed by the same thing, and doubly so when they toss the knife away in the boat. What else does a slasher film have to offer?
...So the reason he brings up fiction - and then stares right at the audience in the last shot - is because if you're still watching and haven't walked out of the theater at that point, it must be because you're sick in the head, exactly like him. The only thing this movie truly has for you is cruelty, made as realistic as possible. Your mind is in the fiction, it's "real" enough to you to keep watching despite denying you any reason to continue, and so in the end all you've really done is watch a "real" family get tortured for no greater purpose. That's pure evil.
@@TooFewSecrets you're projecting your own preferences. At least OP introspected and put forth his theory. Yours is just some subjective rant about evil based on your feelings. Imagine this reductive rant about a happy Christmas film or kids movie, it would make equally no sense. It's only use is for morally outraged ppl who want to agree. OP's theory was way better. I got tons from the film.I loved the atmosphere, the tension, the characters (imagining what their upbringing was etc) and dozens of other things. It wasn't meant to be a slasher...If you walk out of the theatre I think it says more about you being a dull conforming idiot honestly.
i think you got peter and paul mixed up. paul is the one who addresses the audience and peter is “tubby”
My god, never expected this film to get this much hate.
Look, if you wanna see something more different than what you are used to, then I would recommend this movie. Michael Haneke is a fucking fantastic director with such a fascinating style and has no absolutely no problem making original films. But if you decide too watch this on a slow friday night, expecting too see another typical horror movie, you will probably be dissapointed. The problem with these types of films, is that you sometimes have to know what you are about too watch.
"You shouldn't forget the importance of entertainment." I don't know to laugh or to get terrified.
Wicked Movie. A movie don't put much gore but still left you stressed and disturbed
I thought this was a fever dream, I watched the full movie at night on UA-cam when I was like 8 lmao
Reasons these guys probably aren't really guys, but demons:
- the controller rewinding time.
- the dog barking like crazy trying to protect his pack.
- the fact that they had to be "let in" the house (reason for the eggs) every time. They have to have a reason (they could just barge in, but they don't, or more accurately, can't.)
+greenviolets1 Great comment. This is really the best way to explain what this movie was pointing out. I totally understand its obvious meta-satirical nature, but to be honest, I liked the OP's interpretation, too. If the whole breaking the fourth wall/you shouldn't break the rules/reality vs fiction/mocking the audience aspects were not present, I might have suspected that there was something supernatural about these guys. lol
+Wreno Yami That's just stupid.
If by "demons" you mean "plot devices" then yes, I agree with you.
this is maybe the best thriller ever made.
i love thrillers, and this got everything a good thriller needs. it never stops to surprise. and the ending is just faboulus. 8/10
Even though this movie is sick,its one of my favorites,and has some of the best acting ever.You could tell all the actors really were invested and in tune with the characters,the victims and villians.
Oh my god I love Michael Pitt and he is such a ridiculously great actor
One of my top guilty pleasures movie, not because I though it was bad, it's because of how fucked up and sadistic it is, especially when they are constantly breaking the 4th wall and making us feel like their accomplices.
the dark humor in this movie is overwhelming I was laughing my butt off.
@Isaiah Brody I was laughing because it's an uncomfortable laugh. One point of this movie is for you to realize how messed up it is. The dark humor in this is so overwhelming, it makes you uncomfortable. Also as a viewer, this movie is a bit like a satire. A perfect example is like dank memes. Some people process things different, like how some people laugh in not funny moments.
This is the best film ever!!! I really loved it! :)
Michael Pitt could get away with just about everything with that beautiful pout of his.
Funny thing in this movie was when their son was shot. They cried like for 5 seconds and that's it. After that it was all about surviving.
Just like the viewer.
I LOVE THIS FILM
Hihihih
I watched this movie a couple of weeks ago...it is now my favorite movie :)
Excellent movie. So calm, yet so brutal at the same time.
Absolutely brilliant film. the two young killers are ingeniously written and the storyline is very original. It's more an experience or a mind exercise rather than a standard film. It raises some very good points and i like the challenging nature of it. Would be interesting to see those characters again, but i doubt it was ever intended for a sequel.
Right
it is the sequel
Great film. Perfect trailer.
was this a shot for shot remake? because judging by the trailer it seems that way.
i love these two, sequel please!
Ridiculously powerful piece of cinema. Absolutely loved it!
Nah just rediculous!
I hated the movie, not cause everyone dies but because of the remote control scene. It became complete bullshit to me after that.
Teo Oron
I think they're demons for a couple reasons.
-Humans can't rewind time, obviously.
-Dogs sense demonic shit and that lovely sweet dog was FREAKING OUT...why they killed him.
and the weird shit they were saying at the end.
Thanks for ruining it man
Don't read comments before watching movies
Nah, I understand that but atleast mention it as a Spoiler first
ShadowindLUKE I didn't expect for people to read the comments under a movie trailer before actually watching the movie.
If I can opt out of playing any "funny games", I'll always remember the "importance of entertainment."
I love how A Clockwork Orange-esque the style of this trailer is.
This comment for once does apply to this movie....
Everybody dies....
Most fucked up and sadistic film.
SPOILERS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN IT
....do they?
why would u fucking spoil it for people
Don't worry! it's inaccurate
Mstryke That's is an accurate statement, the only ones who dont are the two boys
Shaney Q yeah, the movies ending was total shit
So so so so good.
You can make ANYTHING epic with that song.
they seem like theyre having a "BLAST"!
entertaining guests.
Whats name of that classical song?
in the hall of the mountain king
Great film. It really messes with your head.
thanks, a lot, I have been looking for the name for a long time, really thank you
This really makes this look like a fun horror movie 😂😂
remind me of "Eden Lake"
Fun for the whole family everyone :)
I completely agree. It's probably my favourite film of all time, or pretty close.
No black people were harmed or either seen in the making of this film. Great!!! Ebert and Ropert two thumbs up 👍👍!!!
