Editors' Take
The perfect family is caught unaware at their holiday home by two boys with a taste for sadistic murder. Before catching the English adaptation, see Haneke's original violent, terrifying thriller for FREE!
"...we're all involved in a "game" that we cannot accept or explain, one that isn't "funny" at all - not for the terrorised family, and not for the viewer who is terrorised as well - because he or she can't help but identify with the victims." - Michael Haneke, Director
"Empathy arises on the audience's part from the feeling of mutual helplessness directed toward the senseless, homicidal world introduced by the young men in the film." Tarja Jacaine, Kinoeye
