About

If you want relentless, tightly focused horror that also questions its own genre, Funny Games (2007) may hit hard, but Not for you if you dislike torture-horror, fourth-wall games, or films like The House That Jack Built or Antichrist.

Pros: intense family terror; smart genre satire; strong performances | Cons: very uncomfortable to watch; polarizing meta choices; unsettling violence
