So, I rented FUNNY GAMES. I liked the disturbing nature of the flick, but I didn't really find it that intense or shocking. Perhaps my years of horror flicks have left me jaded. All in all, I was expecting much more out of FUNNY GAMES, so if the common consensus is that THE STRANGERS isn't as good as FUNNY GAMES, I have a feeling I'll be disappointed. I rarely turn down watching a movie (any genre), so I'll probably end up seeing THE STRANGERS soon anyway... Hopefully, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Funny Games was a remake of Funny Games. The same guy that directed in in I dunno Austria or wherever remade it for America... Dude... It's damn near the same movie almost shot for shot. He even used VERY similar locations. Like.. Incredibly similar. Go look up youtube and watch the foreign trailer to funny games you'll see some of the EXACT same shots in the foreign trailer that were in the american version.
Oh.. and you won't be pleasently suprised. You'll be like... "Eh, I could take it or leave it."
The Strangers is actually pretty bad.
