I’ve always thought Michael Haenke seemed so creepy and nasty that it’d be a good idea to avoid his films.  (The only good thing about him is that he makes me think about the Mr. Hankie song from SOUTH PARK, except with lyrics like, “You hate him, and he hates you.”)  Here’s a letter someone who stumbled into FUNNY GAMES without knowing what they were in for wrote to Roger Ebert’s website:

“Funny Games” spills out into the lobby
From Kate Johnson:

Too late I read your review [of “Funny Games“]. I was blindsided by this movie. Went with a friend and didn’t know a THING about it beforehand. All I kept saying was, “Let’s get out of here. It’s a MOVIE. The director/ producer/whatever is trying to forcefeed us with S–T. How can the actors even think of being in such a movie — what about that little boy?”

Finally when it was over and my “friend” looked like a deer in the headlights — I was physically sick. I demanded my money back from the box office only to have the girl laugh at me — at first. I threw up on the floor right in front of her — and it splattered. She gave me the money, helped me clean up and actually cried. My “friend” was embarrassed by my behavior — and therefore has lost my friendship. This whole last scene (starring me, my friend, the cashier at the box office), seemed a sequel to the movie.
