Is this movie just a rip-off of Funny Games?

I don't see any relation to this and Funny Games--remake or original. One's about two boys torturing a family and is a commentary on media violence. This is a straight-up horror film in the vein of Wolf Creek about a couple that tries to take shelter on a small island inhabited by insane marijuana growers that want to kill them. Not much similarity there.

Nevermind, I must have misread the description.

HAHJAHaHahaHAHAHHAHAHA NO. NO NO NO NO NO. This is nothing like Haneke's 'Funny Games'. 'Funny Games' is a timeless classic in suspense, horror, angst and is a very disturbing and effective film, 'Storm warning' while quite a good and enjoyable horror flick just does not compare. It's a good film though, I enjoyed it.

Funnily enough the dim brother almost reminded me of it but it is not a rip off.
