Although I understand the satirical nature of the film, it is just awful. Never, even in a satire should the actors speak to the camera (unless is something with the cast of Monty Python). "Funny Games" makes me want to watch Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space" again. In fact, "Funny Games" has replaced the worst horror film ever made, just inching out "The Devil's Rejects". I have held a personal vendetta against Rob Zombie since that wretched movie, but now bad memories are flooding back with just the mention of "Funny Games".<br /><br />The sad state of Horror in the US has reiterated my refusal to watch any American made film in the theater. Although "Funny Games" is an Austrian flick, Haneke holds a special place in my heart for the few people I want to inflict serious pain for wasting my time on their terrible movie. Michael Haneke, I want the two hours of my life back!Dom in Yelmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17916981890767510603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137133672386054974.post-30343944282532109332009-10-21T23:33:15.567-07:002009-10-21T23:33:15.567-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dom in Yelmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17916981890767510603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137133672386054974.post-28577756170390114412009-10-10T10:16:40.476-07:002009-10-10T10:16:40.476-07:00I'm not as big of a fan of the genre, but I ab...I'm not as big of a fan of the genre, but I absolutely loved <i>Drag Me to Hell</i>. I'm getting the Blu-ray of it next week. It's fun, but there's more going on.<br /><br />Personally, knowing you the way I know you, I don't know how you don't pick apart <i>The Ring</i>. Don't get me wrong - I liked it, but the ending was just silly and completely illogical. It wasn't so bad as to spoil the film for me, but it felt like a really forced-on plot twist.<br /><br />She kills you if you see the video unless you make a copy of it and pass it on. Does she want people to see it or not? Shoot, that makes less sense than Christianity.<br /><br />Anyway, it is excellent in pretty much every other way, so I can overlook that.Lance Christian Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662783824480475026noreply@blogger.com
