Austin Chronicle -
You can take a page from Wes Craven before he went flat and keep repeating, "It's only a movie; it's only a movie; it's only a movie." But is it?

Miami Herald -
The experience of watching Funny Games, be it the original or this version, is never forgotten, whatever your ultimate impression of the film.

Entertainment Weekly -
Can a movie be gripping and repellent at the same time? In Funny Games, a mockingly sadistic and terrifying watch-the-middle-class-writhe-like-stuck-pigs thriller, the director Michael Haneke puts his characters in a vise, and the audience too.

Empire -
A stylish, darkly satirical horror-thriller, raising serious questions about Hollywood’s sanitisation of violence.

Film Threat -
By and large, reviewers have conceded that the picture is exceptionally gripping and suspenseful while deriding its moral subtext as a crock. The only explanation possible for such fuming pettiness, in my opinion, is the fact that Michael Haneke isn’t one of us.
