Funny Games เกมวิปริต

A wealthy family—Georg, his wife Anna, their son Georgie, and their dog Rolfi—arrive at their holiday home beside a lake in Austria. They spot their next-door neighbor Fred accompanied by two young Viennese men whom they do not recognize. Fred introduces the men as Peter and Paul, one of whom Fred claims is the son of a friend.

Shortly after the family settle in, Peter and Paul begin imposing themselves on the family’s courtesy. First Peter asks to borrow eggs which he keeps breaking, supposedly by accident, also destroying the family’s phone with his apparent clumsiness. Eventually, a frustrated Anna demands that the men leave, asking Georg to eject them from the premises. Peter breaks Georg’s leg with the latter’s golf club while Paul reveals he has killed Rolfi, and the two men take the family hostage. Shortly after, neighbor Eva, in the company of several friends, arrives at the family’s dock on her boat. Paul escorts Anna to greet them. Anna lies, stating that Paul is a family friend, and says that Georg is resting, having pulled a muscle while setting up the yacht. Anna tells Eva the family may come over after dinner.

Over the following several hours, Peter and Paul subject the family to sadistic games; Paul demands Anna remove her dress after Peter states he would not have sex with her. Paul then covers Georgie’s head in a pillowcase, but Georgie eventually flees to Fred’s house, which he finds empty. Paul chases after him, cornering him in the house. Georgie attempts to shoot him with a shotgun, but finds the gun has no ammunition. Paul returns Georgie to the home, bringing the shotgun with him.

Paul asks if the family wants to bet whether they will still be alive by 9:00 the next morning, though he doubts that they will win. Between playing their games, the two men keep up a constant patter, and Paul frequently ridicules Peter’s weight and lack of intelligence. He relates contradictory stories of Peter’s past. No definitive explanation of the men’s origins or motives is offered. After a few more games, Peter plays a counting-out game between the family members and shoots Georgie while Paul makes sandwiches in the kitchen. After this, both intruders leave.

Georg and Anna weep for their loss, but eventually resolve to survive. Anna flees the house while Georg, with a broken leg, tries to repair the malfunctioning phone. Anna struggles to find help, but eventually Peter and Paul reappear, capture her, and return to the house. During another sadistic game, Anna grabs the discarded shotgun and kills Peter; however, Paul uses a remote control to rewind the film, breaking the fourth wall, and prevents this from happening. They kill Georg and take Anna out on the family’s boat early the next morning. Around 8:00, Paul casually throws the bound Anna into the water to drown, thus winning their bet. Shortly after, the men arrive at Eva’s house and knock on the door, asking for some eggs.
