SPOILER-FREE FILM REVIEWS FROM A MOVIE LOVER WITH A HEART OF GOLD!

From the land of 10,000 lakes comes a fan of 10,000 movies!

The Silver Bullet ~ Stoker

Synopsis: After India’s father dies, her Uncle Charlie, who she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her unstable mother. She comes to suspect this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives and becomes increasingly infatuated with him.

Release Date:  March 1, 2013

Thoughts:  Though sadly not a biography of Bram Stoker, it’s notable because the director of the Korean hits Oldboy and Lady Vengenace has come to Hollywood with a sinister looking thriller written by actor Wentworth Miller.  I tend to be on the fence about Mia Wasikowska but she looks to make a strong impact here with Kidman looking pretty frightening as her mom.  Though I was a bit bummed that the film seems to give away a lot of pivotal moments, there’s enough impact visually and tonally to keep me interested.
