Review of Stoker (2013) by Leon B — 31 Aug 2013

Review:

I really struggled to stay awake through this movie because its REALLY slow and its based around 3 characters who are not the most interesting characters in the world. It is quite a mysterious film were you know that something isn't right throughout the movie, but by the time that it all comes together, I just lost all interest. The ending didn't match the rest of the film and the director left it open for a sequel, like many films do nowadays, but I thought that the movie was going to be much better. The acting wasn't that bad but the storyline was weak and quite boring. Average!

Round-Up:

Nicole Kidman seems to star in a lot of movies in this genre nowadays, which suits her acting style but the films haven't been massive hits and I have found them all to be quite a drag. It's obvious that the audiences also found this movie to be on the down side because it made a lose at the box office, which isn't a surprise after watching it. It's says that its a horror on the rental website, but it hasn't got that concept at all so don't expect anything shocking.

Budget: $12million.

Worldwide Gross: $9million.

I recommend this movie to people who like there drama/mystery/boring films about a mother and daughter dealing with grief. 2/10.
