Straight away we can see Charlie piecing things together. Uncle Charlie has decided to come to live with his sister and her family (which naturally includes his niece Chalie, our protagonist). There's apparently always been a special connection between the two of them. However, Uncle Charlie isn't the central character here. Of course, that doesn't mean that Hitchcock isn't messing with us, but that's clearly what we are expected to believe. We are shown fairly clearly towards the start that the figure of Uncle Charlie is a crook. This movie needs to be considered as a piece of work in its own right. In any case though, it would be silly to consider them side-by-side. I can see the connection, but "Stoker" is a much more subtle film. I was keen to see this particular film from Hitchcock because of all the connections made to the recent Chan-Wook Park movie "Stoker".
