| Description |
|
The summer home of a vacationing couple and their son is infiltrated by a seemingly urbane pair of men -- who proceed to hold the family hostage and initiate a series of violent and diabolically sadistic "games." In his characteristic style, director Haneke leaves most of the bloodshed to the viewer's imagination, making this film a more harrowing experience than any splatter film. |
