The Stalker: Part II

Prepare to be on the edge of your seat with "The Stalker Part II," a spine-chilling sequel that delivers thrills and suspense in abundance. Director Michelle Lewis takes us on a relentless rollercoaster ride of terror, picking up where the first installment left off and plunging us deeper into the darkness of revenge gone awry.

Returning to the screen with a vengeance, Wendy, portrayed brilliantly by Jessie Bell, grapples with the haunting aftermath of the Hamilton family's ordeal. As she struggles to reclaim a semblance of normalcy, her tormentors refuse to let her find peace, setting the stage for a heart-pounding battle of wills.

Sean Nugent steals the show as the diabolical bad guy, his portrayal reminiscent of classic villains from a bygone era.

What sets "The Stalker Part II" apart is its impeccable pacing, expertly crafted by the talented editing team. Clocking in at just under an hour, the film wastes no time in grabbing hold of your attention and refusing to let go. Unlike many low-budget productions that falter under the weight of unnecessary filler, Lewis trims the fat to deliver a lean and mean cinematic experience. Every scene serves a purpose, propelling the narrative forward with a sense of urgency that leaves you breathless.

But beneath the pulse-pounding action lies a deeper exploration of the human psyche and the destructive power of obsession. As the Hamiltons grapple with their unseen adversary, they are forced to confront their own demons, blurring the lines between victim and perpetrator. In the twisted game of cat and mouse that ensues, sanity hangs by a thread, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

"The Stalker Part II" is a triumph of suspense cinema, offering a deliciously dark ride for horror aficionados craving a fresh scare. With its stellar performances, relentless pace, and spine-tingling atmosphere, this is one sequel that surpasses the original in every way. Don't miss your chance to experience the madness unfold on the big screen.

I loved this second installment in the Stalker series. The movie was pretty good but this was excellent. Definitely better than the first one in all the ways that count. The story was very thrilling. The two detectives were excellent. Honestly, all of the actors did a great job. I loved the comedic elements, the cinematography. I especially liked the dream sequence and the unhinged acting by Sean Nugent. I appreciated that in order to keep the story grounded they introduced the elements of PTSD that linked the first and second films. If you want to enjoy a thrilling good time check this little jewel out.

The Stalker: Part II does a good job at pulling an audience in and keeping their attention for the duration of the film. This film sits just under an hour long and the structure actually lends to the overall engagement. While the film does progress quickly, there were some moments that may have benefited from some more drawn out reactions from the characters. The cinematography helps tell the story and build suspense with the use of wide shots, where your eyes have to dart around the screen to see if you can catch the stalker. There were some moments where I would have liked to have seen more close-ups and a more consistent shade of moonlight and contrast ratios throughout the image. The shot of the dad in the doorway near the beginning of the film with half his face completely dark encompasses the overall tone of the story. And the actor who portrayed the stalker did a really convincing job.

Co-directors Michelle Lewis and Jared M. Reeder do very well to disguise a low budget production to look like a much higher value in this story about a madman's vengeance. You, of course, will get your typical bad performances here and there in film's like this and some corny bad lines, but this isn't supposed to be Shakespeare. This is for horror fans. The antagonist is a pretty convincing crazy man. And his zany sidekick, played by Troy Fromin, make quite an exciting pair together to watch. One thing I'd like to see more of in this Crime Slasher is...well...more slashing and more cool kills to see. Although, the film ends with a shot that leads one to think more is to come in a third installment that may bring more of that. If you are alone, looking for a good horror movie to watch, this one will likely fill your psychotic little heart.

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!
