The Stalker: Part II

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!

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.

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!

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!

I just walked"The Stalker Part II," Let me tell you, they've taken the horror up a notch. The storyline picks up after the Hamiltons' nightmare, with Wendy trying to get back to normal life. Michelle Lewis and Jared Reeder did a decent job weaving this sense of lingering dread throughout the film.

The Stalker's return is relentless, and his twisted plan keeps you guessing. The pacing is tight, and the suspense builds steadily. The directors know their horror, no doubt. Some good jump scares as well. Sure, it has its predictable moments, but let's be real, it's a horror sequel. You expect a few déjà vu scares. Overall, "The Stalker Part II" gets the job done. If you're into psychological horror with a side of vengeance, give it a shot.
