Stalker is a 2 person thriller set entirely inside a stuck lift, which must be a difficult task for any actor, never mind someone relatively new to the scene.

Both Sophie Skelton and Stuart Brennan play their parts to a tee, even when the script brings them grinding to a halt with mediocre rambling (a problem created largely by the runtime of the film being about 20 minutes longer than it needed to be.)

Their stellar performances are ruined by the directors decision to use weird shots and bizarre editing, presumably to try and create the feeling of claustrophobia or tension, but all it actually does it make things frustrating and/or confusing to watch.

At a certain point of the film the director decided it would be a great idea to zoom right in on random parts of the actors faces as they converse; the eyes, or the mouth, or the forehead, but always too close to be comfortable (or in focus half the time.) It was such a bizarre and jarring choice that I wasn't sure if the aspect ratio of the projector had accidentally slipped and zoomed in.

Then toward the end of the film things randomly keep jumping forward and backward in time, with no explanation or reason for doing so, to the point I again thought something had gone wrong with the playback the first time it happened.

The twist was clever, but not all that hard to telegraph as things got a little TOO obvious at the mid-point and there was only one obvious direction to go to keep it interesting.

The two strangest aspects of the movie though, are why they chose to splash the cash casting Bret 'The Hitman' Hart as a semi-sleazy director, and why the writer/director seems to have a disturbing fascination with dismembering (quite literally) one of the characters toward the end.

Neither added much at all to the film, but are in there none the less.

I hope Sophie and Stuart go on to better things as they were the one shining light in this otherwise below par horror thriller.

It started off ok and hooks you in with the premise of a young woman who finds herself trapped in an elevator with her stalker. Sounds suspenseful right? I thought so too.... However, the movie tricks you about the plot and after you're into it for a while, it switches gears in the final act and becomes a psycho feminist man hating bonanza....because they knew if they advertised it as such, most viewers wouldn't tune into it, so they had to mislead the viewer about the plot and use trickery to get them to watch. How sad.

The woman who we were led to believe was the person being stalked is actually the perpetrator who leads a man into the elevator where she proceeds to cut him down, verbally abuse him with her feminist garbage, drug him, tie him up and then very graphically cuts off his penis and tosses it into his lap while maniacally laughing and leaves him to die. We all know the types of people that this sick entertainment is geared towards.

There were many clues throughout the film that this woman was an unstable feminist nutcase, yet I unfortunately didn't heed the warnings and shut it off early.

When the man innocently calls her an actress, it sets off her crazed anger and she tells him "ActOR! I'm an actOR!!" Um, no you're not, you're an actress because you're female and a male is an actor. That's just the way it is. Deal with it or go into another profession.

Earlier in the day she made a big stink with her director over showing her breasts in a B movie horror film which is like the standard in those types of low budget horrors. If she doesn't agree with doing it, that's perfectly fine, but then go and audition for another type of movie and leave that part to an actress who will do it. (Oh I forgot....you're an actOR lol)

Then later on, the guy in the elevator, who also works in the same business mentions how difficult it can be in the film business and she crudely snarls back at him, "Not for you....you have a d*ck". Wow. This was even before she went all psycho on him so you wonder at this point, just where the hell that came from because when she says it there's so much contempt in her voice. This was when I should have heeded the warning bells and turned it off.

By the end of the film, you put all these pieces together and conclude that this poor girl hates being a woman and is so full of self loathing that she just wanted to lash out at a man and cut off on his body what she wished she had on her own. So sick and mentally twisted.

And I must stress that in no way was there ANY sexual assault attempted or even implied from the man onto the woman in the elevator, so her actions towards him were completely unjustified and came out of nowhere except from her own twisted psychosis.

SHE was actually the sexual violator expressing her inexplicable hated towards men. Had the roles been reversed and a man did the same to a woman in an elevator i'm sure there would be a huge uproar from viewers.

This is just another tired 21st century film trying to convince audiences that straight white men are so evil that they need to have their manhood sliced off by the women who perceive themselves as their perpetual victims. Yawn.

I saw this trash for free on Tubi so I thankfully didn't pay a cent to watch it. I'm sure certain people will be cheering at this ridiculous flick, but most us us who inadvertently tune into this mess will be laughing in between the yawns or unlike me, heed the early warnings and shut it off before the feminist psycho goes nuts.. 1 star for this stink fest only because I can't give it any less.

The name of the film is "Stalker" and it opens with statistics of stalking. Rose (Sophie Skeleton) is in an old hotel on a rainy night. She gets off the phone with her sister and heads to the elevator which is out of order and talks an alternate elevator to her floor. Just as the door is about to close a man thrusts his hand in, and gets inside with her. He is very creepy looking. He might as well had stalker printed on his forehead. On the way up, the elevator gets stuck. As they talk we discover Rose in an actress in a horror film who replaced Alice. The man is named Daniel (Stuart Brennan) and he is a camera man for the same picture. He likes to let the camera roll after the scene is over. He captures a scene of Rose and the director discussing her nude scene.

The production was made during COVID and consists of two people. I thought the acting was good and I was able to stay engaged even through it was just two people talking.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

The start of the movie was a bit slow. However it had a very intense ending, the last 20 mins. I actually hate movies when the bad "guy" gets away with it so i was ready to rate this poorly and be upset however although the character comes to an untimely and gruesome death the split second of seeing the phone was recording everything made me super happy bc i know even though not shown on screen, the bad person will get caught and the innocent persons death won't be for nothing. Would i watch this again, no. However it was a surprising film and i wasn't expecting what happened to happen. I would have liked a little more background into the characters but overall it was well made for a very small small cast. Acting was great.
