COMPETITION NOW CLOSED!
With the closure of Tartan Film, Halcyon has taken over the release of Michael Haneke’s powerful English language remake of his own Funny Games. The film stars Naomi Watts and Tim Roth as a couple who are terrorised in their own home by two young men played by Michael Pitt and Brady Corbet. A shocking and haunting piece of cinema, it’s a must see when it arrives on DVD July 28th through Halcyon Pictures. In fact, in our latest issue we called the movie, “a scathing social commentary with a dark sense of humour and a serious message, but it’s also a difficult watch and a film that has split audiences (both this and the original) with its sadistic mind games. Watching the onscreen family’s middle class sanctuary slowly but surely fall apart is literally nauseating in its intensity, and the violence (the worst of which happens off-screen) will have your bowels clenching in horror. This is genuinely scary stuff.”
If that sounds like your sort of movie (and you can watch the trailer below or visit www.funnygamesdvd.com if you need more convincing), Halcyon have teamed up with DVD Monthly for this online comp. The first prize winner will get a copy of the movie and a great DVD player, while five runners up will get the DVD. To enter just click on the icon below, answer the question and leave your details! The competition closes on August 8th, 2008.
