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 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.

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.

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.
