Funny Games (1997)
Directed by Michael Haneke
Quick Hit
Funny Games operates like a head-trip horror pieceābrutal, uncomfortable, with dread baked into every frame.
Full Take
Funny Games leans hard into psychological horror energy, and Michael Haneke keeps the tone brutal without letting the movie drift. The filmmaking is locked in, the atmosphere is doing real work, and the payoff earns the damage. Easy WATCH territory.

Thereās a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

Not perfect but had some solid moments.
Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.
Iām in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didnāt fully connect.
