An indie thriller so dark and dangerously involving that the subtitles are completely unobtrusive. An inoffensive middle-class family set off to their secluded lakeside holiday home for a restful retreat. However the arrival of Peter and Paul puts paid to that as the pair embark on a truly chilling campaign of terror, intermittently turning to camera to consult the viewer as to what should happen next, cleverly implicating their audience in the unfolding horror. Superbly unsettling.

Vitually a shot by shot remake of Haneke's dark and dangerous tale of a family's holiday being wrecked by a pair of sadistic psychopaths. It's difficult to judge remakes having seen the original, the novelty has worn off, but, even if I had to advise watching the latter, this new version still cuts to the bone.
