Could anyone who has seen and felt psychologically uncomfortable during Funny Games (1997) suggest similar films? My own suggestions are:

  • Midsommar (2019),
  • Eden Lake (2008),
  • Mother! (2017).

Once you've had kids, it becomes a little more difficult to watch some films with difficult subjects like torture and murder in them. That said I had a hard time with Funny Games way before I ever had kids. I remember watching that made me want to climb into the film and put a shotgun in the mouths of those two fuckers.
