Review of Stoker (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 26 Feb 2013

Park's methodical but tonally uneven direction too often eschews luridness; it's as if he can't decide exactly how far to push his material…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Marshall Fine (1,011) for Hollywood & Fine (854) on 26 Feb 2013

Audaciously, in-your-face creepy and exhilarating in a way few films have been since David Lynch's Blue Velvet…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for McClatchy-Tribune News Service (291) on 26 Feb 2013

The Hollywood debut of Korean filmmaker Chan-Wook Park (“Oldboy”) is a vivid, short exercise in tone, a movie lacking shocks and huge surprises,…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Keith Uhlich (870) for Time Out (7,510) on 26 Feb 2013

Drooling fanboys and Buffy-loving academics are sure to go wild — not that there’s anything wrong with that…right…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Siobhan Synnot (412) for Scotsman (1,471) on 25 Feb 2013

Fundamentally this is an exercise in genre and overripe style, but if only one in 20 American horror films were this well made…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Olly Richards (291) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 25 Feb 2013

An intense mix of horror, thriller and domestic drama, this is exquisite film making…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By David Edelstein (2,124) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 25 Feb 2013

Wasikowska drabs herself down. Her body is undefined in dowdy clothes, her hair hangs limply…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Ed Gonzalez (1,102) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Feb 2013

The film's weird mix of dollhouse dread and fashion-magazine chic can be fetching, but it's nothing if not vacuous, a series of disjointed,…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Josh Slater-Williams (157) for The Skinny (809) on 20 Feb 2013

There are still the odd pleasantly arresting sequences here and there, but by the film's end it seems apparent that no underlying purpose or…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Kristian Harloff (339) for Schmoes Know (710) on 19 Feb 2013

It's one mystery that will make you yawn and one film that certainly can't lead us out of a dismal year so far at the movies…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Mark Ellis (362) for Schmoes Know (710) on 19 Feb 2013

In an effort to creep up to a climax, Stoker instead meanders to the point where you just to quit…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Eddie Harrison (272) for The List (2,018) on 18 Feb 2013

Neither dealing with the supernatural nor particularly violent, Stoker might not appeal to horror fans, but manages to create something fresh…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Emanuel Levy (2,948) for EmanuelLevy.Com (2,771) on 17 Feb 2013

South Korean director makes an impressive American debut with a Gothic mystery tale that works on any number of levels…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Amber Wilkinson (674) for Eye for Film (1,537) on 16 Feb 2013

The reference to the push-me, pull-you state of adolescence - with twin forces drawing you back towards childhood and on into adulthood - is…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Eric Kohn (1,203) for Indiewire (3,631) on 05 Feb 2013

More blatantly an exercise in style than anything on par with the director's crowning achievements, and suffers to some degree from the predictability…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 05 Feb 2013

Park's unsettling visuals and his handling of the cast make the occasional holes in Wentworth Miller's script practically irrelevant…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Guy Lodge (731) for Variety (12,700) on 05 Feb 2013

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

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Rodrigo Perez (382) for The Playlist (3,871) on 05 Feb 2013

The risible Stoker is a brutally empty, deeply unfortunate movie, and Park Chan-wook's jackhammer of a tool he calls a brush is, on this evidence,…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Kevin Harley (322) for Total Film (3,532) on 04 Feb 2013

Park Chan-wook brings operatic finesse to generic material in his tight-wound, wickedly weird US debut. And Mia Wasikowska nails it…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Fred Topel (1,193) for CraveOnline (813) on 30 Jan 2013
