George took his wife and son to the suburban villa for vacation.
Father and children are tidying sailing boats by the lake, wife is preparing to be fine in the kitchen, and pet dog is basking on the lawn.

In this cat and mouse game, Paul and Pete control power.
A power to let others fall into hell.
Through violence, they greatly satisfy the dark desire of solitaire. Although
saw an increase in anger, Uncle Yu was not very panicked at this time.
According to the first law of the horror film "Justice is late but is late" , the next thing is probably the family's counterattack, right? As expected, the father seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and let his son escape.
Don't look at the young children, but their mobility is first-class.

Driven by a strong desire to survive, his wife also managed to escape.
She ran desperately to freedom.

That is "trap" . The neighbors near the

No one can escape under extreme violence.

Uncle Yu continued to comfort himself.

His wife collapsed to the ground, thinking comfortingly.
Paul looked strange and didn't seem angry when he witnessed this miserable situation.

When we were looking forward to the reversal and backhand full of anger, he slapped everyone in the face:

"Fun Game" in which even the audience becomes a victim is a truly "violent" movie.
Uncle Yu once thought that he already knew the so-called "violence."

But the next thing is the key.
