Funny Games is a disturbing meta-horror that considers violence and viewer expectations. There is an Austrian version made by Michael Haneke in 1997 and an American remake in 2007, both showcasing two young men who, for no apparent reason, torture a family while subverting the viewer's expectations with fourth-wall-breaking commentary on violence within the movie. While questioning the senselessness of cruelty-giving us no explanations of the horror-the movie allows the audience to participate in the violence.
