It's a basic rip/spin off of funny games. (Delete as appropriate) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119167/ or US version.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808279/ Similarities too many to mention. No mention of Michael Haneke in credits.
What's going on??? Is there a tie in with the American release of Funny Games?? I have just watched the episode on television and am interested the lack of internet debate revolving around this seemingly obvious plagiarism or collaboration. If you feel like you have opinion on this matter then please respond to this post.
Yours Sincerely, Sir Nosey Englishman.
