Michael Haneke has variously described his film Funny Games as an 'attack' on, a 'parody' of, and a 'polemic against' the films of the modern thriller genre. This study examines how Haneke is able to manipulate his audience’s expectations through the use of both classical and non-classical film techniques, and how the director uses narrative and stylistic methods to blur the line between reality and fiction in order to highlight the effects of media violence on the viewer.
