Stoker

"I was already a huge fan of Park Chan-wook's Korean films, so I've been eagerly awaiting his English language debut, hoping his incredible style would survive the move to America. And it has. Stoker has Park's fingerprints all over it, taking place inside a heightened reality filled with operatic flourishes."

"A splendidly demented gumbo of Hitchcock thriller, American Gothic fairy tale and a contemporary kink all Park's own."

"Park Chan-wook brings operatic finesse to generic material in his tight-wound, wickedly weird US debut. And Mia Wasikowska nails it."

"Drooling fanboys and "Buffy"-loving academics are sure to go wild — not that there’s anything wrong with that…right? Stoker is a gorgeous wank job; just prepare to hate yourself for loving it."

"It may be Mr. Park's reputation that induces a state of queasy anticipation in the early scenes... But it is also, unquestionably, his craft."

"Literary references and symbolism abound .. You can get tied up trying to figure out who is what. That is the idea. All the clues are there. You just have to look closely."

"Thanks to Park's endless creativity behind the camera, it's impossible to look away, even when what's happening on the screen is truly risible."

"An intense mix of horror, thriller and domestic drama, this is exquisite film making."
