this movie was so great. i liked it because it was simply different then other horror movies i have seen.
posted by toreeeeee. on Jul 15, 2008This movie is not going to be for everyone. The ones who look for films outside the box, clever, yet extremely disturbing, will love this movie as much as I did. If look for that straight forward film with the "twist" ending, then this film is not for you. Funny Games put a twist on the a genre that has become monotonous and hopefully inspires more unconvenional film making. Think about what you expect to happen, this movie will prove you wrong. "For politeness sake!"
