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.

'One Lyfe to Life' is an atmospheric film that builds its tension slowly. The visuals are intended to create a gritty, raw feel. Despite the simplicity of the visuals and lighting, they still immerse a viewer and allow one to be fully absorbed into the story of Lyfe, who is living in a tumultuous struggle in New York. The slow motion during some of the confrontation sequences is warranted and the use of deep depth of field allows the viewer to take in the full landscape/atmosphere. Wonderful score and overall, the flow of the scenes works well. The film could have been further immersive with cleaner sound in some places and enhanced performances, but still a great story of perseverance with a theological undertone.

Introspectum Motel has a multi-faceted storyline with an emphasis on intra-character exchange. The story is revealed instead of relying upon exposition, which works towards keeping the viewer's engagement. The cinematography is a notable aspect of the film, with a subtle lens distortion creeping across the frame that speaks to the distorted decisions of the main characters (especially during the long interrogation scene). The film keeps a somewhat muted color palette, whereas the atmosphere may have been further heightened by more vibrant visuals. Overall, it is a simple thriller with plenty of twists to keep one guessing.
