Funny Games US
A shot-for-shot English-language remake of the dark masterpiece Haneke made a decade earlier.
Virtually a shot-for-shot, word-for-word English-language remake of the dark masterpiece he made a decade earlier, this boasts Naomi Watts and Tim Roth as the couple holidaying in New England, and Michael Pitt and Brady Corbet as the sinister visitors come to play their sadistic 'games'. A fascinating exercise in translation (in many more senses than one), and all too relevant to the rise of torture-horror movies in recent years.
