The Stalker: Part II

Horror is certainly not my favourite genre of film, but every now and then I like to indulge! And The Stalker films are a couple that I have enjoyed. While the first was good, this second installment is great!

It has more than enough suspense, twists, turns and scares to keep you glued to the screen. The production values are very good (which is sadly not very common for low-budget films) and the acting is solid. I particularly enjoyed the cinematography which evokes a great mood and sense of dread in the film.

It's also not a long film, coming in at under an hour. So it's the perfect film to watch if you're not in the mood for a long drawn out story. It gets to the point and hits all the right notes - making it a fun, enjoyable, quick watch.

Definitely worth a watch!

"The Stalker: Part II" not only lives up to its predecessor but exceeds expectations. This sequel skillfully combines dark suspense with humor, creating a captivating narrative. The cast delivers exceptional performances, and the lighting adds to the tension. The story masterfully blends old and new traumas.

It maintains the original's dark tone while introducing well-placed humor.

This film elevates the indie movie experience, demonstrating that it can exceed expectations on all fronts.

Offering a gripping and entertaining story that will satisfy fans of the original and captivate new audiences.

A must-see film.

Don't ask me why, but I decided to watch part 2 before I had seen part 1. There was a bit of confusion as I didn't completely know the characters back stories, but don't worry, director Michelle Lewis did an excellent job with unfolding the story, so for those who happen to be in the same boat as me you are good.

The film opens in a dark swampy lake with a hand darting out of the water. I can assume this is how the Stalker "died" in the first film. There is no messing around as we are immediately thrust into the story. At less than an hour this film is a non stop thrill ride of scares and terrors. Some of the scariest films in my opinion are those that look at what the mind of a single sadistic individual can do. The Stalker 2 is one of those films!

There is also a subplot of consequences for past actions, and doing what we can to right past wrongs. Nothing can stay in the closet, or lake, forever!

If you've seen The Stalker, then watching it's sequel, The Stalker: Part II is an absolute must watch. This movie lives up to the first movie an impressive manner. This one is still dark but it also has some comedic moments that really help to break up the tension and add some comic relief. There was one scene involving a cereal bowl that was especially funny. The cast is excellent again. The writing was also solid in creating another compelling and complete story. Solid directing and the cinematography was excellent, using lots of shadows and color schemes to their full effect. This is definitely worth watching!

I really enjoyed The Stalker and the sequel The Stalker: Part II totally outshines the first. Don't get me wrong, like I said, I liked the 1st but it's not often that a part 2 is better than it's predecessor. The filmmakers really did a great job on this one. A few of the roles were recast but the story does not suffer from this. I really like how the story continues with not only a lot of the trauma from the first movie spilling over but they also added in new drama and trauma which really keeps you engaged in the story. I highly recommend you check out both The Stalker and The Stalker: Part II.
