The shame is that while the film is as glossy as late DePalma, essential Hitchcockiness is swapped out for random ickiness, a sorrow in light of Park's own history of crafting sleek, liquescent, swamping fever dreams.

Park's latest feature and first English-language release is a stylish, brutal, oft-uncomfortable tale of mystery and revenge.

Enthralling and tremendously entertaining.

None of it is life-changing, but it is effectively eerie. Stylishly spooky, even.

There is a freedom to his filmmaking; he's trying things, odd moods and unexpected edits and unconventional compositions. He likes to keep things popping, and you can't help but respond to the wit and playfulness of his style.

Stoker trembles between the portentous and the ridiculous, and I think you know which one is going to win. The audience does make its decision: They've been had yet again.

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

Park Chan-wook [has]toned down the violence and perversity of his Korean output. But not by much. When a character... commends a garden's soil for its spade-yielding softness, you get the feeling he's not planning to plant begonias.

Stoker is a cunning exercise in transgression. But one can't help but wonder what kind of film Park might have made if he'd had the full creative control to which he's accustomed in Korea.

Stoker is a movie about tension and inaction, about people trying to figure out what's going on in someone else's head.
