Viewing Notes

Much like Haneke’s Funny Games but without nearly the tension due to the long shot camera work and the split screens. It fails to build as much tension as necessary to be as invested in the final outcome as it wants you to be.

I would probably rate this a bit higher if it weren’t for the dubbing. I’d say shitty dubbing but almost all dubbing is shitty, so that’d be a double negative.

Still the ending was a bit of a surprise, enough so to make my wife say “I didn’t like that.”
