Review of Stoker (2013) by Thequietgamer — 20 Mar 2015
A twisted little horror-thriller that keeps you invested in it's mystery and bizarre sexuality. The atmosphere is creepy and dark with moments of brilliant cinematography. The characters are compellingly deranged. Wasikowska plays her coming of age character brilliantly adding to the film's deranged sense of sexuality.
It loves to play with linking sexual arousal and murder. All with some incestuous undertones. It's disgusting for sure, but it gives the film a disturbing tone and identity all it's own. The real star here is the mystery though. It sucks you in as you wonder just what the heck is wrong with these characters.
It's a unique and as backwards as the characters can be. It stays tense and gripping throughout. It stands out among others in the thriller genre thanks to it's gothic-horror style. It's dark, violent, and creepy. It's also one I highly recommend.
I give "Stoker" a 9.1/10.
