The Original Movie: This French dark comedy revolves around a well-to-do couple, Michel (Laurent Lucas) and Claire (Mathilde Seigner), who have a seemingly chance encounter with one of Michel's high school friends, Harry (Sergi López). From that point, however, Harry develops an obsession with the pair, one which becomes increasingly disturbing. The Ripoff: Simon (Jason Bateman) and Robyn (Rebecca Hall) are a young married couple who have a chance meeting with Simon's high school friend Gordo (Joel Edgerton, who also wrote, directed and produced the film). As Gordo attempts to insert himself into their lives in a number of unsettling ways, an unpleasant secret about Simon's past is eventually revealed. This one's similar enough that it actually sounds like an unofficial remake. Edgerton might have something to answer for here...
