A handsome, intriguing, dangerous stranger. A young girl. A house in small town. Murder, desire, mystery.These are just few of the things that terrific Stoker and last year's surprising The Guest have in common.

There's also gorgeous cinematography, fantastic score and to be frank? Both films are seriously hot.
