Stoker (2013)

  Did you like Thirst?  Did you wish it was in English?  You are in luck!  Here is a Park Chan-Wook horror starring the palest people you've ever seen.  

India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) loses her father (Dermot Mulroney) in a car accident on her 18th birthday, only for the uncle she never knew she had to immediately move in.  Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode) is suave, debonair, and definitely hiding something, but the longer India watches, the more drawn in she is.  

This was a sexy little thriller anchored by gorgeous editing and cinematography.  The story is pretty straightforward, you've definitely seen at least one film like this, but it is totally lifted by the director and DP.  It's currently streaming on HBO Max.
