co-sign on *ALL* this regarding Stoker and *THIS* is why I loved it so much.

Seriously, this movie *screams* atmospheric, european horror/thriller from the early to mid 1990s, i.e. something that Jim Jarmusch, Lars von Trier or even Kar Wai Wong would make.

Wentworth Miller wrote a solid movie in his first outing as a screenwriter. I can't wait to see what else he writes that's made into a movie next (and I already have. Shit is really damn good)...
