I really enjoyed "The Stalker Part II" and fans of suspense cinema will no doubt find this a worthwhile watch. I also urge you to watch “The Stalker” first installment, which was terrifying as well.
“The Stalker Part II," is a suspenseful sequel that is nail biting from start to finish. Director Michelle Lewis masterfully takes us on a tightly paced, thrilling nightmare of terror, picking up where the first installment left off and plunging us deeper into the psychopath that terrorizes a family.
Among the capable ensemble cast, Jessie Bell who plays the matriarch Wendy is a stand out, who found herself incarcerated and grappled with the aftermath of the Hamilton family's ordeal. Sean Michael Nugent is outstanding and memorable as the titled character, his portrayal reminiscent of Jack Nicholson in one of my favorite horror flicks, “The Shining”. With his crazy eyes and evil grin, Sean Michael Nugent brings heft and urgency to the role, keeping viewers mesmerized with a fantastic roller-coaster ride of plot twists and turns.

This second entry in the Stalker series completely raises the bar. While the first film had its strengths, this follow-up is tighter, bolder, and far more compelling. The story is full of twists and tension, keeping me glued to the screen the entire time. There wasn’t a dull moment—just when I thought I knew where things were going, the film would throw in a sharp turn that kept the suspense alive.
Visually, it's a step up as well. The cinematography is striking, and the production quality gives everything a polished, cinematic feel. The performances are strong across the board, but the chemistry between the two detectives really anchors the film. Sean Nugent’s performance during the dream sequence was unforgettable—raw, intense, and borderline disturbing in the best way.
I also loved how the filmmakers wove in themes of PTSD to tie the story back to the first film. It added a surprising layer of depth and made the emotional stakes feel real without slowing down the pace. There are also just the right touches of humor to balance the darker moments, which gave the film a nice rhythm.
This isn't just a solid sequel—it’s a fully realized thriller that hits all the right notes. I’m actually planning to host a watch party soon because I want my horror-loving friends to experience it too… and honestly, I’m not sure I want to watch it alone at night again!

Fun, gripping and will keep you on your toes...But it's more than that It should also be noted that along with a great straight up the middle solid script the filmmaker should be applauded for casting some really great actors. The performances are solid and a shout out to the Cinemaphotographer...This film was also beautifully shot...Highly recommend.

Don't ask me why, but I decided to watch part 2 before I had seen part 1. There was a bit of confusion as I didn't completely know the characters back stories, but don't worry, director Michelle Lewis did an excellent job with unfolding the story, so for those who happen to be in the same boat as me you are good.
The film opens in a dark swampy lake with a hand darting out of the water. I can assume this is how the Stalker "died" in the first film. There is no messing around as we are immediately thrust into the story. At less than an hour this film is a non stop thrill ride of scares and terrors. Some of the scariest films in my opinion are those that look at what the mind of a single sadistic individual can do. The Stalker 2 is one of those films!
There is also a subplot of consequences for past actions, and doing what we can to right past wrongs. Nothing can stay in the closet, or lake, forever!

If you haven’t seen the first film, don’t worry about it–you will. The Stalker Part II is a masterclass on atmospheric lighting, and the calculated terror one unhinged individual can exact, when he’s been horribly wronged. This one’s a thrill-ride, and will compel you to visit the first “Stalker” to see how Mark’s madness began.

Prepare to be on the edge of your seat with "The Stalker Part II," a spine-chilling sequel that delivers thrills and suspense in abundance. Director Michelle Lewis takes us on a relentless rollercoaster ride of terror, picking up where the first installment left off and plunging us deeper into the darkness of revenge gone awry.
Returning to the screen with a vengeance, Wendy, portrayed brilliantly by Jessie Bell, grapples with the haunting aftermath of the Hamilton family's ordeal. As she struggles to reclaim a semblance of normalcy, her tormentors refuse to let her find peace, setting the stage for a heart-pounding battle of wills.
Sean Nugent steals the show as the diabolical bad guy, his portrayal reminiscent of classic villains from a bygone era. With his menacing presence and devilish laughter, Ayers brings an old-school charm to the role, evoking memories of silent film antagonists who relished in their nefarious deeds. His performance is a masterclass in villainy, keeping viewers spellbound with every wicked twist and turn.
What sets "The Stalker Part II" apart is its impeccable pacing, expertly crafted by the talented editing team. Clocking in at just under an hour, the film wastes no time in grabbing hold of your attention and refusing to let go. Unlike many low-budget productions that falter under the weight of unnecessary filler, Lewis trims the fat to deliver a lean and mean cinematic experience. Every scene serves a purpose, propelling the narrative forward with a sense of urgency that leaves you breathless.
But beneath the pulse-pounding action lies a deeper exploration of the human psyche and the destructive power of obsession. As the Hamiltons grapple with their unseen adversary, they are forced to confront their own demons, blurring the lines between victim and perpetrator. In the twisted game of cat and mouse that ensues, sanity hangs by a thread, and the stakes couldn't be higher.
"The Stalker Part II" is a triumph of suspense cinema, offering a deliciously dark ride for horror aficionados craving a fresh scare. With its stellar performances, relentless pace, and spine-tingling atmosphere, this is one sequel that surpasses the original in every way. Don't miss your chance to experience the madness unfold on the big screen.
