After her father's death, a young introverted woman meets her previously unkown uncle. This meeting will change something in their lives. 

Park Chan-Wook english-language debut, Stoker, is  a great Hitchcockian thriller filled with a great cast. The chemistry between the main actors is as palpable as it is unnerving and Matthew Goode  gives us a great performance as troubled character that seems to be hiding a lot of things.  The photography is very cold and blueish, but with great aesthetics that focuses on repeating patterns. We can even hear some in the music, as highlighted in the duet scene, where a lot of emotion and desire comes through. This movie is a bit shocking, but it suggests the heavier stuff rather than showing it outright.   7/10 closer to 6 than 8
