When creepy meets captivating you can't help, but watch with a dropped jaw. This is achieved in Stoker. From the director of Oldboy, this drama thriller not only engages you with what you see, it challenges you by what you hear and feel. India's father has passed suddenly and with his death comes her birthday plus an unknown uncle. The presence of Uncle Charles begins to stir up coming of age feelings for India and sensual vulnerability for her mother, Evelyn. Unbeknownst to them, Uncle Charles has a complex agenda that neither can understand in time. Observation is the key to understanding the story and the character interaction, which makes for a gripping mystery that is at times predictable, but always interesting. Mia Wasikowska displays excellent talent in the realm of dark films and Nicole Kidman shines with ill intentions and sexuality. Matthew Goodes' awkward but genuine performance is what seals the deal and you'll never want to look away.
