The premise
When Ann, husband George, and son Georgie arrive at their holiday home they are visited by a pair of polite and seemingly pleasant young men. Armed with deceptively sweet smiles and some golf clubs, they proceed to terrorize and torture the tight-knit clan, giving them until the next day to survive.
Horror Vault's take
A family's peaceful lakeside vacation turns into a waking nightmare when two unnervingly courteous young strangers arrive and refuse to leave — with deadly intentions. Michael Haneke's shot-for-shot English-language remake strips away any comfortable distance, forcing viewers to reckon with their own appetite for screen violence. The film is a calculated, ice-cold ordeal that weaponizes politeness and breaks cinematic conventions to implicate the audience itself. Expect no cathartic thrills — this is horror as provocation.
