In this US remake of his 1997 film 'Funny Games', director Michael Haneke delivers a savage critique on the way violence is portrayed in the media. Arriving at their remote holiday cabin in the Hamptons for a quiet vacation, George (Tim Roth), his wife Ann (Naomi Watts), and their young son Georgie (Devon Gearheart), find themselves subjected to a harrowing ordeal involving mental and physical torture, when two young, psychotic killers come calling.
Please note this is a region B Blu-ray and will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play. Michael Haneke (Hidden, The Piano Teacher, Code Unknown) takes on America with an English language remake every bit as shocking as his brilliantly conceived original 1997 FUNNY GAMES. In this exploration of our violent society Haneke retells the story through the eyes of a middle- class family who arrive at their secluded holiday home in the Hamptons for a two-week vacation. Soon after, a young man makes a surprise call, and asks to borrow some eggs. When the man is joined by his 'charming' friend (Michael Pitt), what initially appears to be an innocuous visit by their neighbours guests, soon turns into a horrifying ordeal for all concerned as the two men embark upon a twisted campaign of torment and raw terror.
