Funny Games U.S.

This is the remake of the German 1997 version of Funny Games, but it's not really a remake. Or is it?
The psychological thriller is directed and written by Michael Haneke in both the 1997 and 2007 version. The remake is starring Tim Roth, Naomi Watts, Michael Pitt, Brady Corbet and Devon Gearhart. It's filmed shot by shot after the original film, the only visible diffrence is the actors and language.

This is the first and only film I've ever had bad dreams after watching. Acting performances doesn't get any better than this. I can't get around the fact that one of the reasons it's so scary is because it's in german. Germans are scary!






Other recomended Michael Haneke films:
- La Pianiste
- Benny's Video
- Cachè








Michael says; "Check it out"!
