DVD - Stoker (18)

Stoker is a bold, dark, sexual thriller, too bold for most mainstream cinemas in fact, so if you missed it earlier this year, definitely catch it now it's out on DVD.

Young India's world collapses when her beloved father dies on her 18th birthday and her promiscuous, self-involved mother (Nicole Kidman) is little help, even less so when India's infamous Uncle, Charlie, returns.
India immediately senses something sinister in Charlie but it's soon apparent the two are bound by a repulsive force.

You'll hate yourself for being drawn in by Charlie and Kidman's distant mother character is utterly vile, topping off this dangerously mixed bag of off-kilter family members.


Stoker definitely deserves its 18 certification due to the sexual nature of the violence but it's so beautifully shot we'll forgive the truly shocking nature of the story.
