Stalker's Prey

Anyone else wonder why a senior in high school is drinking alcohol at a party with all adults present?? If more thoughts were put into it it might be a ok movie but nobody thinks these things they before making a movie.

Of course I had never heard about the 2017 TV movie thriller titled "Stalker's Prey" prior to sitting down to watch it here in 2024. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I found the time to give the movie a fair chance.

Writer John Doolan put together a rather generic and bland script. It was as if the writer just went by the How-To-Write-A-Thriller-For-Dummies book and crammed in every generic thriller trope he could find. I mean, the whole build up of the events were somewhat laughable. But hey, there are worse movies out there.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. And that was actually one of the better things about "Stalker's Prey", as I do enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen in movies. And I will say that the acting performances in the movie were fair, despite the fact that the actors and actresses had some very generic material to work with.

There are far better thrillers out there, no doubt about it. But I will say that director Colin Theys's 2017 TV movie "Stalker's Prey" might be worth checking out if you are a sucker for thrillers where the story revolves around a deranged person acting out of ill-conceived affection and obsession.

While I did manage to sit through the entire movie, I was only mildly entertained. And I can honestly say that I am not returning to watch the movie a second time.

My rating of "Stalker's Prey" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Starts off like your typical teen movie, mum catches blonde daughter with boyfriend in car, so grounds her, guess what happens next?

Doesn't take a scientist to work it out. That's right, she sneaks out.

Boyfriend on a boat they both go for a swim, he gets killed by the shark.

Teen hunk saves her, he somehow has to be famous 🙄 When the blonde girl is in hospital with her friend who has brown hair, everyone seems to ignore the brown haired girl and only have eyes for the blinds girl.

Come on, who wrote this tripe.

Okay the film from there just drags on and on, say by to the shark though.

I watched this as I wanted to watch a shark movie, this is not, so be warned. The cover is a lie to get you to watch it.

It's like the film makers went to a local high school and got all the pretty kids to act in some two bit movie.

Any star rating over two is a lie.

Then moves onto new guy like nothing happened and everyone is so happy that she was able to move on and forget about her dead boyfriend who she was planning to intercourse with but then the shark killed him first so she couldn't have intercourse with him even though her mother was against it.. The film maker tries to provide a bone for the audience to overlook her lack of mourning by providing fodder for the eyes in the form of stuff that results in numerous 10ers.

I thought this film was... average. I felt it was low budget but I did watch the whole thing because I found the story line interesting however wished it was better made.

The obsession aspect of it is very intense and creepy and made me want to check behind doors to make sure nobody was there. It did have a sudden twist which i didn't expect.

Would recommend if you don't mind low budget films.
