“Stoker” would be an odd name for any film, but it’s a particularly strange choice for this one.
The word immediately brings to mind the author of the vampire classic “Dracula.” But there are no supernatural creatures in this film, though it seems we’re meant to think so at first. One of the members of this American family — perhaps descended from Bram Stoker — changes locations so quickly, he might be able to walk through walls. He never touches his food at dinner, either, though he’s cooked it himself. He also has seemingly supernatural senses — something he shares in common with his niece, just one of the many things that indicates these two will be drawn to each other, for better and for worse.
