(Chan-wook Park / 2013 / USA / 99 minutes / Certificate 18)

Who cares that David Lynch has retired when Park Chan-wook (he of Oldboy, on his English-language début) is around to serve up this audaciously, in-your-face creepy and exhilarating film to tide us over? Soon after Uncle Charlie's arrival into her life, upon her father's death in a car crash, teenager India comes to suspect this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives, but instead of feeling outrage or horror, this friendless girl becomes increasingly infatuated with him. Nicole Kidman leads a fearless cast in this nervy, pervy Hitchcock-ian flick.

"An intense mix of horror, thriller and domestic drama, this is exquisite filmmaking." Empire Magazine

"A splendidly demented gumbo of Hitchcock thriller, American Gothic fairy tale and a contemporary kink all Park's own." Variety

"Literary references and symbolism abound in Stoker. You can get tied up trying to figure out who is what. That is the idea." The Guardian
