Movie Connections:

Follows Benny's Video (1992)

not bad..

The movie takes place in our current time even though it is based on a Christmas Eve killing that took place in 1933. More of the same from director Haneke, but this had interesting characters and scenes. The adoptive family was quite good in portraying themselves and the pix up stick convo was actualy kind of neat..

Rating 6 out of 10.
