Abstract

Alfred Hitchcock's favorite among his own films, Shadow of a Doubt is an exemplary 1943 thriller in which a teenager (Teresa Wright) in complete adoration of her mild-mannered Uncle Charlie (Joseph Cotten) is shocked to learn he's actually a serial killer. Stoker (***l/2 out of four), the first Englishlanguage film from heralded South Korean director Chan-wook Park (Oldboy) and the first script written by actor Wentworth Miller (TV's Prison Break), isn't a remake - not really. Yet considering the plot centers on the relationship between a teenage girl and her duplicitous Uncle Charlie, it's easy to imagine the spirit of Hitchcock was invoked before each day's shooting.
