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 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.

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.

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.

It's not often that a sequel is better than the first film, but in this case the filmmakers and cast improved their crafts. The lighting in this film is stunning especially in moments like the stalker's lair. The story really brings you in as Steve looks at his past mistakes and wants to rectify them, while this is going on the stalker is unveiling his new twisted scheme. The cast come together really well and the two roles that were recasted being the stalker and Wendy were an improvement in my opinion (the previous actors were fine but there's a noticeable difference in a good way). I love the addition of Officer Harrison (Paul van Scott) and Officer Daniels (Jason Faunt) I appreciate the film noir elements lightly woven into the fabric of the film and the use of older technology giving it that neo noir feel. Troy Fromin returns as the ever so creepy Craig, he brings a lot of humor and comedic relief in the movie that never overstays its welcome. The two sons played well and gave a sense that they were a family that had been through trauma. Jessie Bell (Wendy) and Chad Ayers (Steve, who really shines during the climax) give an incredible performance as someone who is dealing with ptsd from the traumatic events of the first film all while trying to stay present for her family while they try to go back to a normal life. The Stalker played brilliantly by Sean Nugent is absolutely terrifying and plays it completely insane in the best possible way, I loved his bit on the phone. The cinematography was really good and again improved. The production value felt bigger and better from the nightmare sequence to the Stalker's lair to various prop pieces that look and feel very dynamic especially considering this isn't made by a major studio. The Stalker part II is a fun ride that never stops and remains fun.

I am so impressed when I watched The Stalker II for it was even better than the first installment of The Stalker. The write knew exactly how she wanted the movie done and each and every actor performed perfectly. The props were really amazing from the different home made items and it was exceptional since it isn't a major big money production. I bought the movie on Amazon Prime so I could watch it again and again. The setting of the nightmare and the Stalkers Lair really out did themselves. I loved the 80's vibe it gave off real true to the times. I cannot wait to see what the writer produces next. Oh and the cinematography was greatly improved from the first movie. Great Job.

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!

"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.

This Second Part in The Stalker film series doesn't disappoint! You never know how a sequel will be going in but in all honesty the filmmakers improved themselves from the first one in every department. The cast came together wonderfully, every character feels like they belong in this universe in their own unique way. This is a fine example of how indie films can go above and beyond what might be expected of them. Some scenes feel like a love letter to classic films of the genre such as the graveyard scene. The cast really bring their roles to life, I see several of them have won awards and they deserved it here. The production value and lighting are superb. The camera work was a huge improvement from the first film, which was fine but this felt so much more inspired and involved. If you are looking for a movie that is visually and emotionally engaging check it out you won't be disappointed.

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.

Short but sweet thriller. This movie may not fill your whole night of movie watching, but it will leave a short and sweet impact.

Not many films can be under an hour and really deliver an impact. This film is a statement to the fact that you don't need to be 3 hour epic or 20 minute episode.

A very dramatic thriller. Full of suspense, but not overdone. The cast was quite good. The lighting also played a big part in the mood and vibe of the film. There were comedic moments that help break up the mood without detracting from the movie as a whole. I didn't watch the first one, but I will need to now!

This is a mock-up 80s horror/thriller and trust me, that's a compliment. The Stalker, falsely terminated and highly unhinged, is back from the dead. After the hellish events of the first film, Mark AKA The Stalker is back with a vengeance to finish what he started with the battered, and unsuspecting Hamilton family. Through the relentlessness of the black-hooded Stalker, high contrast edge lighting and jump scares, The Stalker Part II is a terrorific nail-biter.

Troubling events of the first film are brought to light. The Stalker is frighteningly unhinged, now coupled with a serious axe to grind with Hamilton patriarch Steve and his family. His plan is to bait them all into destroying themselves.

This is a sequel, and viewers are highly encouraged to watch "The Stalker" first, but that said, this movie does stand on its own. Through lighting, hairstyles, and even a rotary phone, directors Michelle Lewis and Jared M. Reeder tip their hats to the 80s, with this nail biting thriller. Cinematographer Connor Pannell creates the tense and edgy look to the film that maximizes this lower budget thriller. Jessie Bell also lends a standout performance as the empathetic matriarch, Wendy Hamilton.

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. With his menacing presence and devilish laughter, Ayers brings an old-school charm to the role, evoking memories of silent film antagonists who relished in their nefarious deeds. His performance is a masterclass in villainy, keeping viewers spellbound with every wicked twist and turn.

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.
