Stoker is a psychological thriller film that revolves around a girl named India who had lost her father at a mysterious automobile accident. On the day of accident, her uncle Charlie whom she had never knew existed came and stayed with her. Charlie turns out to be a psychotic killer who charmed his way around town killing people. India's true personality starts to unfold from a girl that seems aloof to her surroundings to a person that instead of being freaked out of the killings around her she actually enjoys it. Conclusion, psychotic genes can be passed down through generation.
What I like about the film:-
1) Interestingly shot
There are some scenes that I particularly like when it zooms in on the little things and heightens the sounds it made. It is a portrayer of how India is a little OCD with things .
2) Shocking plot twist
Well, India from the beginning was already very weird which already caught my attention but from this timid awkward girl that developed into a psychotic killer is just gold and unexpected.
3) Favourite line
"You have to do something bad to stop you from doing something worse"
That was what India's father tells her when he brings her for hunting trips. He knew India has the tendency to be a psychotic killer so that's his way to control her urge.
He is by far the most open minded dads out there. Talk about parenting and the importance of parents' responsibility to their children.
4) How India got aroused by deaths.
Something so terrifying to the majority can be so pleasurable to the others. It is in her genes. It is her natural instinct.
What Doesn't make sense :-
1) How does uncle Charlie know that India will have the psychotic genes too ?
He tried to get close to India and runaway with her since India's birth. He planned everything to be with India.
Watch this film when you are ready to understand what's it like being psychotic. Otherwise, it will be heck confusing.
