Re-Made Ultra-Disturbing Cult Film

For those of you who haven't seen the unhinged Austrian horror-thriller Funny Games, an American remake is coming out soon. It's a shot-by-shot recreation of the 10-year-old original with a fine cast and the original director.

The movie includes an obtuse third-person to second-person switch, which initially is quite annoying. However, by the end of the movie, you get it. And you feel sick. Very, very sick...

I read an interview with Naomi Watts regarding her participation in the film (she really liked the original and wanted to work with director). She said it was one of the more disturbing things she's done.

I've read some excellent reviews, but I don't know if I have the stomach for this one any time soon.

It has to be watched. Like Blue Velvet.
