A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
It’s rare when an American remake is as good as the non-American original. Even if it’s the same director at the helm.
The US remake of the Austrian 1997 film is an almost identical version, barring a few shot angles and pieces of dialogue. One notable dialogue different here is when Paul drags out the torment to make sure the film is up to ‘feature length’.
So it’s really your choice, which one to watch. Some would argue the German version is better, but this is more likely to happen if you watched that one first.
Personally, I prefer Michael Pitt here as Paul, though I liked George Jr. in the original, better.
at the same damn time
Basically a carbon copy of the original German version except that this one is in English and has different actors. Tim Roth has publicly disowned this movie and has refused to watch the final film. There are some issues with Michael Haneke’s writing. The victims just don’t do the things that victims would do who just saw 2 cold blooded murderers blow off their 10 year old son’s head. After the murderers kill the son and leave, the parents hug and cry for 10 minutes. Is that what you would do if you thought 2 insane murderers might come back? Maybe get a weapon to defend yourself? Booby trap the house perhaps? The part where Paul looks in the camera with his smug remark about making it exciting for the audience and the remote control rewind is more or less a fuck you to the movie viewers. All the Peters and Pauls in both films are really irritating but I thought Arno Frisch came out on top in that race. 3 and a half stars.
Note to the administrator: This film paused and buffered so many times that I ended up watching it on another streaming service.
Why tf did they choose such hot actors. I had a girl boner all throughout the boner. I would’ve loved for them to torture me. Holy shit they got me horny as hell.
I’ve seen people online saying this film was brutal like no other and people who liked it should be under investigation… normies are low IQ trash after all. This film was weak, the only good things here are the creative social engineering in the script and the cast. I felt the need for way more blood and violence, it’s actually mid. Even as a critique it falls flat and is FAR from being some genius insight like Speak no evil (danish) for instance. Goes to show how the normie NPC mind works, they are sheep and thus prey.
I love Micheal haneke so much he is my soulmate in a platonic way he is so me
Dog shit of the highest order this
Where did they go after they kill the son? ?? this movie makes no sense.
This movie is so boring and I just felt annoyed with how stupid the victims were being the entire movie. Nothing is really explained at the end and it’s not even an interesting cliff hanger. All the characters are annoying as hell. Waste of time, wouldn’t recommend. I dont know why people like this movie tbh 3/10
Well it truly was fun
I’m Paul; this is Peter. Come here, Tom, where are your manners? lmfbo I was only disappointed with the lack of aesthetically pleasing titzzz, but generally really got a kick out of it.lol
One of the worst movies ever made.
Flaunting (ignoring/disregarding) social maxims and convention along with dead pan delivery. OMG. It is as if he doesn’t realize how horrible he’s being except he (they) does :(. Evil!!!
After watching ‘Hate crime’ and ‘kidnapped,’ both here on EUM, this almost put me to sleep. Long drawn out scenes with bs dialogue and slow moving action. Michael Pitt is good, but his speech’s and ‘games’ didn’t ring very true for me. Seemed really scripted. I actually enjoyed the few bits where he speaks to the camera, and the remote control stuff. It was certainly out of place compared to the rest of the movie, which added some needed comedy and curiosity to an otherwise pretty boring viewing experience. To each there own. While I did like the ending, overall this wasn’t for me. Wouldn’t ever watch it again. * I also had issues with loading and freezing, multiple times before I allowed it to buffer for like 5 mins, then had no further problems. Another movie where I would have loved subtitles. I wish there was an option!!! Cheers!
Any movie I try to play it just stop and go and on 2 or 3 i let it buffer all the way and it stills pause and go.
I honestly tripped on how intense this was! I was certain that this was gonna be a suckass, sissified movie like most U.S.remakes. As an America. It pains me to say that, but when Netflix actually warns viewers that the fucking ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW has “Violence and fear”. You know something’s wrong with our prudish culture! Anyway, this movie was just as violent and fearful as the original. Nothing watered down at all!
Hey Heidi…. Just pause it for 5-6 minute and let it buffer and then it will play fine. It does it on my laptop too.
This version is definitely the better of the two. Michael Pitt and Bradly Corbet were better as Peter and Paul. I just found them so much easier to hate. I also found Tim Roth a better George, while Anne has got to go to the Austrian version. And little Georgi is a toss-up. I watched the 1997 version first but even though I knew what was coming, the US version kept me on the edge of my seat. The one thing that annoyed me about both versions was the whole remote control bit. It was just do out-of-place in the story-line. A serious WTF?! moment.
Movie keeps pausing, not playing. Have tried about six times and no, my iPad is up to date with uodates.
