Rating: 2.5/4 --
The first half is sadistically intense, Geiring and Frisch make wonderfully creepy psychopaths, and Haneke and cinematographer Jurgen Jurges burnish the film to a high polish that's rare for the genre.

TV Guide
Rating: 3/5 --
This beautifully acted and paced German variant of Cape Fear ... is tricked out with a number of Brechtian devices to catch audiences in a voyeuristic trance.
New York Times
Rating: 2/4 --
The emotions of the victims are clear and complex -- their conflicts dominate our experience of the narrative as powerfully as all the devices telling us to look elsewhere for the movie's themes.

Chicago Reader
Ultimately, the film confronts why we consume horror, questioning the viewer subtly every so often between the brutality: why are you still watching?

Father Son Holy Gore
[I]t certainly fulfills its aim of exposing the ugly, unpalatable reality of violence.
Sight and Sound
The film outstays its welcome and is more than a little too knowing in its manipulation of standard audience expectations for the genre.

Variety
The basic puzzle is why this sophisticated director chose this tired formula.
The New Republic
Product Description:
A powerfully graphic film (even though no violence is ever shown on the screen itself) about an Austrian family who goes on a country vacation and become the victims of two cold-blooded psychopaths who are out to torture them with their "funny games." Haneke's point, that fictional violence is as real as the real world's, is presented chillingly in this extremely well-acted, yet potentially offensive effort. Weak of stomach, beware.
