You don't even need to watch it (though I recommend because it's well made), but you can read the plot synopsis itself on wikipedia to know why this movie will make people mad. It's to prove a point, but still goddamn.

Yeah, I outright despise that movie. It's a psychological horror movie that's trying to guilt trip the viewers who are wanting to see a horror movie. It's like it was saying "oh, you wanted to see X happen, well too bad!"

Didnt sound like a movie Id have any interest in watching, so I just read the plot on Wikipedia.

Excellent movie.
People get too hung up on the "twist". It's a super well crafted movie even without the meta stuff. There's a lot to it. The "twist" isn't even a twist. --- My Words Were True And Sheamus Made You Believe! http://imgur.com/Fc39f.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

They There's plenty of meta commentary about violence in media, horror movies and other things, but with or without that stuff, it's just a really great home invasion movie.

In addition to it being a shot for shot remake because it was the same writer and director he just made the same movie twice. Yeah I get it different countries and languages. Funny games 2007 was the most pointless film ever made.

I never watched the remake cause why in the fuck would i do that.
the original is a brilliant movie, idk why yall hate it just cause of the ending, which doesn't change all that much. we could just edit that scene out and make it "normal" with the movie ending in exactly the same way and the movie would be almost just as good. --- April 15, 2024: The Day the Internet Died ...

I would have to watch the actual movie, because it reads like a twist that comes out of nowhere when you read the plot summary. Like, it sounds like a normal home invasion horror movie, and then the second the heroine gets the upper hand the bad guy I'm not here to argue the merits of the movie, becasue like I said I have not seen it, but that sounds like a "what can we do to make this different from every other home invasion horror flick, while also insulting the audience's intelligence?" --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. ...
