After India's (Wasikowska's) father dies in an auto accident, her Uncle Charlie (Goode), who she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her emotionally unstable mother (Kidman).
I'm not a huge fan of horror films, however I was interested in this movie as Naomi Watts chooses her roles carefully.
It wasn't particularly scary or jumpy, however the relationship between the three main characters makes you as the audience think what could happen.
Matthew Goode turns on a brilliant twisted man with a bitter past, I believe after this film there are huge projects in the future for this actor.
The sets and backdrops have been carefully chosen, which adds more chilly effects to the feature. I wasn't disappointed with this movie as it portairted how life can taken sudden turns and how people can connect and end relationships quickly.
I give this movie 7/10 and would happily experience it again. I saw it on DVD and I suspect that given the chance to watch it in the cinema would have given it 8.5/10.
One word that best describes this is - twisted.

Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman and Matthew Goode star in this psychological thriller from Korean director Chan-Wook Park. Following her father Richard (Dermot Mulroney)'s death in an unexplained road accident, reclusive teenager India Stoker (Wasikowska) withdraws further into the quiet rural life she shares with her emotionally disturbed mother Evie (Kidman). But her curiosity is stirred when her mysterious uncle Charlie (Goode), who she has never met, suddenly arrives unannounced. Told that the darkly charismatic Charlie will now be staying at the house, India's initial well-founded distrust of her uncle's motivations begins to waver as she finds herself becoming ever more deeply entranced by his sinister charms.
