Stoker, a half baked thriller with overly lush visuals about the infatuation of a young woman with killing and the sudden appearance of an estranged uncle who apparently shares the same interest.
Rather than being suspenseful, the film turned out to be a patchwork of silly acting, awkward scripting, listless pacing and an incomprehensible choice of narrative structure that is simply unsuited for this kind of film. Someone ought to revisit and study the classics and until such time, apply for a job in the food service industry.
It is obvious from the get-go that the girl and her uncle are psychos, so why limp around aimlessly for two hours getting a point across that couldn't have been made more clear already 10 minutes into the film?
Is having a plot too much to ask these days?
3/10
