Funny Games (1997)
dir: Michael Haneke
Funny Games is an experimental 1997 Austrian horror film directed by Michael Haneke. The plot of the film involves two young men who hold a family hostage and torture them with sadistic games. The film begins with a well-to-do family - Georg, his wife Anna, his son Schorschi (Young Georg), and their dog - arriving at their lake house. Their next-door neighbor pays a visit, accompanied by two young men, Peter and Paul, whom he introduces as friends. The two men begin imposing themselves on the family's courtesy, and in the process destroy their phone and ruin all their eggs. Eventually a frustrated Anna demands that the men leave, asking Georg to eject them from the premises. Paul breaks Georg's leg with Georg's golf club and the two men take the family hostage.
