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

    Stroker slips down the gullet with less fuss, but there are enough blood sprays and snapped vertebrae to pacify the director's clamorous fan club -- and, for the rest of us, plenty of chances to reconsider his style. It is, unquestionably, something to behold. [8 March 2013, p.80]

    The movie is less to be experienced than to be appreciatively studied, like an insect, a stuffed bird, or the sketch by a gifted artist in the style of an Old Master — in this case, the Master of Suspense. It’s not pure Park or pure Hitchcock but a muted, mildly mesmerizing blend of the two. You might want to take a careful stroll in this Hitchpark.

    Stoker plays out like a Kabuki “Macbeth”: gallons of style slathered on a story you already know by heart.

    Stoker is a little bit of everything. That's why it's the best drama of 2013. Chan Wook Park has done movies like Oldboy which was my Favourite of his all complete collection of films, Stoker has been beautifully directed, two thumps way up.… Expand

    Not sure what movie the other three saw. Stoker was an atrocious, contrived and nearly plotless waste of 105 minutes. If you want to waste time on 105 minutes of a guy staring at everything he can possibly stare at mixed with a heaping supply of useless symbolism this may be your perfect movie, for everyone else, steer clear. I gave it a 1 because there was one interesting and quite striking scene with two of the main characters at a piano. Everything else was crap.… Expand
