“An intense mix of horror, thriller and domestic drama, this is exquisite filmmaking.”
Korean director Chan-wook Park's first English-language film after the likes of Lady Vengeance and Oldboy is a twisty thriller starring Nicola Kidman, Mia Wasikowska and Matthew Goode. After India’s father dies in a car accident, her uncle Charlie, whom she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her emotionally unstable mother. Soon after his arrival, India begins to suspect that this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives, but instead of feeling outrage or horror, this friendless girl becomes increasingly infatuated with him.
Taking its cues from Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt this is a heady confection of tension, sexual nd otherwise.
