No doubts in saying that the film, Stalker’s Prey directed by John McTiernan, has an excess of suspense. An obsession and having the lengkap control over someone are the different aspects one can mostly see in stalkers. This violent movie revolves around a junior college named Holly, played by Katie Stewart, who after encountering John, the keyster’s Chris Lee’s mysterious boyfriend, a wall-eyed theater-chaser, gets picky-stalked. The more Holly tries to carry on with her day to day activities, the more it dawns on her that John has always been around and uses her as the most helpless piece in a terrifying game of chase and capture.
One more aspect that is highly praiseworthy and is also present in Stalker’s Prey is the extinguishing effects analysis on the victims of stalking that are still present after the stalking. Per se, this type of a storyline does not come to an end from the physical aggression exerted by the stalker, which in this instance is served through expectancy, but goes on how this episode affects Holly’s friends and family and them in turn affect her. The situation becomes even worse as Holly begins to fight for her life after John’s possessiveness looms over her and a sense of anxiety filled with dread over what John has become looms within her even though she tries to smooth out the storm.
What attracts me to Stalker’s Prey is the fear and vulnerability that I explore in the work. These are problems that a large number of people in our age face in the world full of technologies which permits such limits to be easily crossed. VIewing the stalker and the victim and their relationship with each other onscreen gives a vivid representation of how obsession can distort the clear perception of the individual. Its a thriller movie, still cliches are many, gripping scenes, and emotional breadth still have been woven into it; making it all the more interesting for people who enjoy working in this genre.
