Stalker

That sweaty, close-to-a-nervous breakdown tense feeling of being trapped is nowhere in the film. And where the script goes in its pulpy nasty final twist felt to me like a disturbingly misogynist move.

This elevator horror doesn’t exactly take the genre to new heights, but it succeeds in offering two strong performances worth watching.

A lean, mean and efficient thriller in the vein of Cellular, Phone Booth and Saw.


From the moment this movie started until the closing credits Stalker was claustrophobic and intense, in large part to the great performances and excellent script.

"A ridiculously-chatty bore of a thriller, a stunning waste of viewing time"

Stalker is an ultra-lean thriller that ebbs and flows with palpable tension. It realizes the frightening scenario of being trapped in a confined space with a creepy stranger.

Steve Johnson’s taut, twisty ‘elevated’ horror traps an ambitious actor and a predatory voyeur in a lift together

A taut, tense, terrific thriller... The best "elevated" horror of the year.

Johnson’s film has a secret weapon vital for any film to succeed: great actors.

An intense and claustrophobic thriller that spins gender norms on their head more than once, Stalker is a gripping tale that will have you rethinking not taking the stairs.
