The Pretty Boys from Funny Games
Yes, I am talking about this movie again. Truth be told, after much deliberation, I truly think Funny Games is my favorite horror film ever. Why? Because outside of Cabin in the Woods, it is the only horror movie that seems to know, and relish in the fact, that it’s a horror movie. But I am getting side tracked. The real reason we are here is to talk about the invaders. In this case, it just happens to be two well put together young men, who just happened to be dressed like they just got off the green at the country club. So what do you do? You let them in. YOU let in the people who are going to murder you, and you do it willingly. Why? Because we are a society that judges on looks, and if someone “looks” innocent, we allow them into our homes.
And what is really fucked up about this movie is that most of us would have done the exact same thing. In that sense, they are two of the scariest villains of all time.
