Possible inspiration for Dogtooth?

I dont know if there is any link between the creators or anything but Dogtooth is really getting alot of attention in Sweden these days so i checked out other movies with the same theme as of that.

Found this one, watched it and was surprised how many similarities there are in the social bits, where development is being held back, incest, sadism and alot of other things.

For those of you who have seen both, which did you prefer? And what other movies with the same theme could you lead me to? =)

Dogtooth reminded me more of "Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly". The children live in a totalitarian regime established by their mother on their english country estate, where certain types of bahaviour are permitted through various "games", and the laws are set by the game rules. Fans of The Baby/Dogtooth should definitely seek it out.
