shydreamguywantsabboyfriend Before I explain why I removed 3 stars I will say this is a good film . it just could have been better with a few minor changes. The Real Lead Anna Brecon did a fantastic job as did most everyone else I can recommend this on a rainy or foggy night. Did the lead Character tell anyone she had a PA coming to help her ? Did Linda The PA introduce herself to he writer ? Just Say Personal Assistant because Not everyone knows what a PA is . If my 2 questions would have been answered in that 4 minutes that were edited from the version I saw sorry but I had to take a star for that hole in the set up .I didn't remove a star for the fact that the film makers chose to push the less important character Linda as the Lead in the film when she isn't. The Actress playing Linda isn't the better actress of the 2 and she hasn't learned to speak her lines Clearly. When the 1st human was killed the killer mumbles the second half of the lines but lucky for the audience later we hear that Full line from a recording Where Surprise the lines were clearly spoken otherwise we would have no idea what was said and it's important to the plot . But I didn't remove a star for that .The film loses a second star for the movie cover because it gives too much away .It lost a 3rd star for allowing the villain to too quickly & too easily without justification or explanation bully the lead character into submission when saying "The servants have to leave they annoy me ." Yes the actress who you gave 1st billing Linda Overacts If she usually does a lot of stage acting and didn't adjust herself to the small screen that could explain that. Otherwise a well written ,directed and acted film .

Leofwine_draca STALKER is the Martin Kemp-directed remake of the notorious video nasty THE HOUSE ON STRAW HILL, a sordid tale of depravity and murder that came out in the mid-'70s. Thankfully enough has been changed in this story to make it an effective shocker in its own right, one that even fans of the original film will find has surprises in store.Truth be told, I quite liked this movie. It's no classic but it is a solid little thriller and, given it's a low budget British B-movie, the quality is a lot better than you'd expect. The dull Anna Brecon stars as a mousy writer who goes off to live in a remote country cottage to work on her new novel, only to fall foul of a psychopath.STALKER benefits from effective direction, some shocking moments of violence, and decent performances from the supporting cast. Best of all is Jane March (COLOUR OF NIGHT) playing the secretary and having a ball with the role. Dependable character actors like Billy Murray and Colin Salmon turn up and are most welcome, and there's even a minor part for Linda Hayden, who of course starred in the original film. STALKER is a film that kept me interested throughout, and that's a rare enough thing for a low budget film these days.

BakuryuuTyranno Essentially the movie is about the writer Paula, who travels to her uncle's house hoping for inspiration there on writing another book.And admittedly, the film has good atmosphere at first, and then some weird writing assistant shows up. From there it appears as if the movie could take itself in an interesting direction, but...It's like this - suddenly the assistant is in control of the situation, and here's technically a SPOILER - not because of the detail itself, but because this works up to a very overused twist; see basically, Paula isn't seen talking to the assistant near anyone else, she never inquires about the things her assistant does, almost like she already knows, and so on.If it had taken another direction, the film might have been pretty good, but this became predictable and unexciting.

J. Davis First of all everyone should know this is not anything even close to what you would expect from a film named "Stalker". It involves a writer under pressure for her second book, her first was a #1 Bestseller so people were eager to see what's next. The author, rumored to have had a recent breakdown, has also had a very tragic childhood. We are given flashbacks from what appears to be her childhood but it all doesn't make full sense until near end. It is a short film at around 70 minutes and I was getting kind of bored around mid point, but then the unveiling of the classic twist which we have seen many times before. So all in all it was a decent effort but was nothing to run out & try to track down or pay to view for that matter. It was an average movie & I had no problem spending some time watching it. I'm not really sure how to rate it mainly due to it's lack of originality. I'll say 5-6/10. However this is not a horror movie at all it has been MISLABELED there is very little gore & very very little tension till the final minutes. So if you're looking for that as I was, you will be sadly disappointed.
