New trailer from Park Chan-wook's 'Stoker' ups the sinister ante


"We don't need to be friends. We're family," says India (Mia Wasikowska) in the new trailer for Park Chan-wook's Stoker. And family kills together and sleeps together! Right?

Hype for Stoker has been building: It's showing this week at Sundance, it will premiere in our D.C. area sometime in March, and it's getting pretty good buzz for Nicole Kidman, who - we must not forget - has become a way better actress since Tom Cruise disappeared from her life all those years ago. The Paperboy may have been ridiculous, but Kidman was SO COMMITTED in it. And she'll probably be the same way in Stoker, in which she plays India's mother Evie, whose husband has just died. So when his brother Charlie (the dreamy, so perfect Matthew Goode) appears, Evie is all over him.

But Charlie isn't really into Evie, is he? He only has eyes, and sinister intentions, for India, who looks like she walked straight out of a Tim Burton film. And so Charlie and India get caught in this twisted web of murder and manipulation. GET EXCITED.

Stoker opens in select markets on March 1. For the new trailer, click through!
