Ultimately, the film confronts why we consume horror, questioning the viewer subtly every so often between the brutality: why are you still watching?

Father Son Holy Gore
Rating: 1.5/4 --
What follows is basically Hostel with subtitles, and, given the very nature of Haneke's experiment, it's not hard to figure out exactly how this will end.

Film Frenzy
Rating: 2.5/4 --
The first half is sadistically intense, Geiring and Frisch make wonderfully creepy psychopaths, and Haneke and cinematographer Jurgen Jurges burnish the film to a high polish that's rare for the genre.

TV Guide
The basic puzzle is why this sophisticated director chose this tired formula.
The New Republic
Haneke's films are famously pessimistic, blackhearted affairs that peel back the thin veneer of politesse hiding human monstrosity. This isn't his best movie, but it is his most viscerally frightening.

The Ringer
Rating: 4/4 --
a viciously effective polemic against the placid acceptance of film violence, a perverse experiment in audience manipulation that lures us into watching what should be unwatchable and then draws our attention to our unexamined desires

Q Network Film Desk
Brilliant, radical, provocative, it's a masterpiece that is at times barely watchable.

Time Out
Product Description:
A powerfully graphic film (even though no violence is ever shown on the screen itself) about an Austrian family who goes on a country vacation and become the victims of two cold-blooded psychopaths who are out to torture them with their "funny games." Haneke's point, that fictional violence is as real as the real world's, is presented chillingly in this extremely well-acted, yet potentially offensive effort. Weak of stomach, beware.
