" Michael Haneke, makes films that dare YOU to watch, by suggesting that YOU the viewer are complacent, by viewing and refusing to look away. YOU are the monster, in this film. By emailing the monster making the video, in this film. Benny's Video is a 1992 psychological horror film directed by Michael Haneke and starring Arno Frisch, Angela Winkler, and Ulrich Mühe. Set in Vienna, it centers on Benny, a teenager who views much of his life as distilled through video images, and his well-to-"
