Review #16 of My Horrible Collection: Shocktober list.
I love Chan-Wook Park. He is one of my favorite directors of all time. Stoker is his first English-language film and I was a bit cautious. What if his style doesn't translate. Also I've only ever seen the poster so I thought this would be a period piece, which didn't exactly excite me.
But damn do I love this movie. The acting is great, especially Mia Wasikowska. I only knew her from Alice in Wonderland and she is much better in this.
And even though he came to America, this movie felt exactly like a Chan-Wook Park movie, even a little bit more than Thirst did. I was reminded of Olboy, which is always a good thing.
The story is great, full of twists and turns, you never know what will happen next.
As you can maybe see I loved this movie and everything about it. Great acting, great score, beautifully shot. Also that Piano scene.
I'm rating this movie 5 out of 5 stars and a big like and recommend.
