Plot
Two polite young men take a family hostage in their holiday home and subject them to a cruel game. Haneke later made an English-language remake.
Sinekatalog’s take
Michael Haneke's home-invasion thriller is a punishing critique of the audience's appetite for violence. Cold and confrontational, it is hard to watch and designed to be that way.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
