Stalker's Prey

Because that's reality and it happens in real-life. At my high school graduation everyone drank alcohol no matter the age. It was a sinister movie and that just added to it.

The daughter treats her mother horribly. She's rude, obnoxious, creepy and out of control, and he boyfriend is just as obnoxious and creepy as she is. Note that all the "men" in this movie are smaller and more feminine looking than the females who tower over them. The stalker is a goofy, ever-smiling, one-dimensional cardboard cutout. The token black guy friend of the blonde girl is always jumping out from behind and grabbing her to scare her. Who would want a friend like this? He's frightening looking enough without doing this. The dialogue, along with the boring characters is putting me to sleep. I'm about halfway through and seriously considering turning this off or maybe just leave it on as background noise.

Then moves onto new guy like nothing happened and everyone is so happy that she was able to move on and forget about her dead boyfriend who she was planning to intercourse with but then the shark killed him first so she couldn't have intercourse with him even though her mother was against it.. The film maker tries to provide a bone for the audience to overlook her lack of mourning by providing fodder for the eyes in the form of stuff that results in numerous 10ers.

I thought this film was... average. I felt it was low budget but I did watch the whole thing because I found the story line interesting however wished it was better made.

The obsession aspect of it is very intense and creepy and made me want to check behind doors to make sure nobody was there. It did have a sudden twist which i didn't expect.

Would recommend if you don't mind low budget films.

Of course I had never heard about the 2017 TV movie thriller titled "Stalker's Prey" prior to sitting down to watch it here in 2024. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I found the time to give the movie a fair chance.

Writer John Doolan put together a rather generic and bland script. It was as if the writer just went by the How-To-Write-A-Thriller-For-Dummies book and crammed in every generic thriller trope he could find. I mean, the whole build up of the events were somewhat laughable. But hey, there are worse movies out there.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. And that was actually one of the better things about "Stalker's Prey", as I do enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen in movies. And I will say that the acting performances in the movie were fair, despite the fact that the actors and actresses had some very generic material to work with.

There are far better thrillers out there, no doubt about it. But I will say that director Colin Theys's 2017 TV movie "Stalker's Prey" might be worth checking out if you are a sucker for thrillers where the story revolves around a deranged person acting out of ill-conceived affection and obsession.

While I did manage to sit through the entire movie, I was only mildly entertained. And I can honestly say that I am not returning to watch the movie a second time.

My rating of "Stalker's Prey" lands on a four out of ten stars.
