A 2013 psychological thriller film from acclaimed director Park Chan-wook, and his first English-language production, with a script by Wentworth Miller of Prison Break fame.After 18-year-old India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) loses her beloved father Richard in a car crash, a mysterious man shows up at the funeral – her uncle, Charlie (Matthew Goode). While India is apprehensive of a family member she's never even heard of until now, and suspicious about his motives, her unstable mother Evelyn (Nicole Kidman) welcomes Charlie into their home. Witty and attractive, Charlie fills the hole that Richard left behind – in more ways than one. Evelyn's infatuation with him grows deeper, but India's manipulative, charming uncle seems to be more interested in India herself...This can only end well.Despite having a title that's rather similar to the surname of that guy who wrote Dracula, the film is not, in fact, about vampires.note Park already did that in Thirst (2009). (Although Word of God admits that the novel was a big influence, as was Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt.) | |

Comforting the Widow: Charlie and Evelyn - although, to be fair, Evelyn is rather emotionally distraught at this point. Turns out it's not Evelyn he's interested in... | |

Stoker / int_1d18887f | comment |
First, Charlie's murder of Whip, while a deeply satisfying Pay Evil unto Evil moment, becomes a lot creepier when you realize that Charlie's in love with India. It's very likely he killed Whip not just for attempting to rape his niece, but because he's jealous. | |

Stoker / int_1d2400e9 | comment |
Green-Eyed Monster: Implied in two rather unsettling cases. First, Charlie's murder of Whip, while a deeply satisfying Pay Evil unto Evil moment, becomes a lot creepier when you realize that Charlie's in love with India. It's very likely he killed Whip not just for attempting to rape his niece, but because he's jealous. Second, Evelyn's "I can't wait to watch life tear you apart" speech comes after Evelyn realizes Charlie's interested in India. Given that Evelyn's immediate reaction isn't "I need to get my daughter away from this creep," but instead to deliver said speech, and that Evelyn had feelings for Charlie herself, it could be inferred that she's jealous of India. | |

Stoker / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: One set of posters at first seems like merely like a Design Student's Orgasm style grouping of natural imagery (roots, vines, branches, etc.) twining around images of the Stoker family and objects relevant to the plot, like Charlie's shovel or India's shoes. (There's a very striking promo video depicting the making of the poster set to Emily Wells' "Becomes The Colour".) But it's not just any collection of branches, leaves, and vines — it's literally a family tree. | |

Only Sane Man: Meddling and nosy as Aunt Gwendolyn is, she's still one of these, as is the housekeeper Mrs McGarrick. So, naturally, they're swiftly dealt with. The sheriff becomes this towards the end of the movie, much in the same vein. Between his emotionally unstable, alcoholic wife, psychopathic brother and budding sociopath daughter, the late Richard Stoker seems to be the only sane member of his immediate family. | |

Teens Are Monsters: India's classmates are a bunch of chuckling, sneering bullies who harass her with drawings of her naked and show off by pretending to punch her, stopping millimeters away from actually striking her, in an attempt to make her flinch. India, however, is different. Whip Taylor seems as if he may be an exception to this, as he is friendly to India at first, but he soon turns out to be the most monstrous of them all, as he attempts to rape her. | |

Renaissance Man: A slightly more realistic example in Uncle Charlie. He's handsome, charming, well-traveled, a top-notch chef, capable of dressing himself well and speaking French like a native, and a brilliant pianist. If rumor is to be believed, he is also an accomplished poet, a missionary, and a skilled tactician. Too bad his skills have more in common with Hannibal Lecter than your average Gentleman and a Scholar. | |

Foot Focus: India receives a pair of saddle shoes for her birthday every year, with each pair being identical in every way to the previous year's pair apart from being of a larger size to fit her still-growing feet, symbolizing her growing maturity and loss of innocence. Upon turning eighteen, she is gifted a pair of high heels, and her putting them on her bare feet fresh out of saddle shoes is shown with numerous lingering close-ups. Apart from during her father's funeral (at which she wears black hose as a formality), India never wears any socks, stockings, or other kind of hosiery with these shoes in any scene in the movie. This leads to numerous shots with her bare ankles in frame, and also emphasizes India's intimate connection with her shoes by having there be nothing at all in between the shoes and her bare feet. | |

Mugging the Monster: One of the bullies at India's school does his usual schtick of swinging his fist at India's head in a vain attempt to make her flinch but this time she's ready with a sharp pencil. By proxy with Whip, who attempts to mug (or rather, invokedrape) the niece of a monster, only to get strangled by said monster and then killed by his intended victim. The poor, poor Sheriff... | |

Once More, with Clarity | |
Stoker / int_7374ab13 | comment |
Once More, with Clarity: The opening scene shows India standing in a field and smiling. The nearby presence of a police car is odd, but oh well, look at the pretty red flowers. Fast-forward to the end, and it turns out she's actually smiling at the sheriff whom she's stabbed. And those red flowers? That's blood. | |

Age-Inappropriate Dress | |
Stoker / int_7ce7d94d | comment |
Age-Inappropriate Dress: Downplayed with Charlie. He wears suits, polo shirts, slacks, and the like, but the colors and styles he chooses make him look more like a twentysomething fresh out of prep school, rather than a thirtysomething who's spent years travelling the world. Behind the scenes interviews confirm that this was deliberate, chosen to reflect how Charlie's spent the past couple decades in an asylum, undergoing most of his formative years there. Emotionally speaking, India's way more mature than he is. | |

Sense Freak: The way India describes her extraordinary perceptions has strong overtones of this, one of the many elements that are reminiscent of supernatural creatures, but it seems to cause her as much distress as private pleasure.

Duet Bonding: India and Charlie are both pianists, and at one point play together rather suggestively. | |

Raven Hair, Ivory Skin | |
Stoker / int_f1d2c779 | comment |
Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: India has ghost-white skin and long, dark hair, and is extremely beautiful. She does not enjoy the attention she receives because of this. | |

Creepy Child | |
Stoker / int_f3d5d15f | comment |
Creepy Child: India dresses in a manner to evoke this, despite being a (young) adult. By all evidence, Charlie was this. | |

Creepy Uncle | |
Stoker / int_f4d61c26 | comment |
Creepy Uncle: Charlie; he's awfully concerned with his niece India being "of age". Too bad that's not the biggest thing wrong with him... | |

Ascetic Aesthetic: Oh yeah. While everything looks quite nice, there's this very ugly feel that everything isn't right. | |

The Dog Bites Back | |
Stoker / int_fb3576b2 | comment |
The Dog Bites Back: After enduring sexual harassment and bullying from her male peers for what is implied to be her entire education, India finally stabs her main tormentor with a pencil when he refuses to leave her alone. He wisely decides it's not worth it after that. | |

Lady Drunk | |
Stoker / int_fdb3b2b5 | comment |
Lady Drunk: Evelyn spends a fair amount of time in this state. As with Gertrude in Hamlet which the film is partly based on, it's not clear if this is something she's always had or if it's to cope with the loss of her husband, or something that was there beforehand but has got worse. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished | |
Stoker / int_fe614133 | comment |
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted; despite the stylized nature of the film and its violence, India is shown getting scraped up and blistered from playing in the woods and legitimately filthy and clammy after her part in disposing of Whip. | |
