Needless to say that I had actually never heard about this 2022 short horror film titled "The Stationary Bike" from writer and director A. M. Walters. But as I had the opportunity to watch it, and never actually heard about it, of course I opted to do so.
Sure, I have to admit that I didn't expect anything from this particular short film given it's title. I mean, it isn't exactly like "The Stationary Bike" screams overwhelmingly interesting movie, now does it?
The storyline, which apparently is based on some story by Stephen King, is adequate enough, I suppose in a strange way. I have seen worse in movies, despite the fact that this particular storyline wasn't really all that interesting for my personal preference and taste. But I am sure that there is an audience out there for something like what writer and director A. M. Walters delivered here.
The acting performances in "The Stationary Bike" were fair enough. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the film though.
Visually then you're not in for anything grand or spectacular.
All in all, "The Stationary Bike" came and went without leaving me bedazzled, much less leaving a lasting impression on me.
My rating of "The Stationary Bike" lands on a three out of ten stars.
