Zero originality, but very solidly executed. A solid thriller that doesn’t deliver any surprises, but has a good atmosphere, cold visuals and villains who are downright nasty, especially in the first half, before their evilness shows up. They played that hidden insanity with panache. :-)

No, this isn't a film I'd enjoy. Funny Games is much better and more intense in this respect. Here, I didn't even have that feeling; I didn't have the desire to look elsewhere because the family was suffering immensely. I didn't really care what happened to them. Perhaps the death of a child or something would liven it up, but this just isn't a film about cruelty, it's just a film that thinks it's about cruelty.
