Review: Stoker (2013)

SYNOPSIS:

After the death of her father, a privileged and disturbed teen meets her Uncle Charlie who changes the direction of her life forever as she slowly unravels her family’s dark, hidden mysteries.

It’s a delicious character piece where the evolution of the character’s fabric and being takes precedence over the visceral violence and …
