Funny Games (1997)
7/10
Strong first half ruined by the 2nd half

Warning: Spoilers
Funny games even though starts a little slow is really quite captivating. The performances were strong and had me hooked until the morning after when they return. The movie insists upon itself, the Director adds elements that aren't necessary trying to make an artistic film while forgetting what makes thriller films great. Once Peter is killed the ending gets wrecked by the stupid rewind. That seriously alone made this film fall flat at the slow. Funny games was scary or at least thrilling because of the realism inside it and to me, In my opinion bringing back peter after he was shot and killed ruined what might have been a great film.
