A janitor with a military-grade stealth suit kidnaps a woman living on a military base. Let's see, are there any stakes here? Well, she's got a 5-month old baby that cries a lot. Somehow that is a factor. Woman is brought to what looks like an abandoned plant. Why this guy? Why is this woman a threat to him? (watch out for some comical fight scenes). Why the baby, and the disposable character of Bad Dad? (I got this one, it's a plot device to get her captured! Yeah, that's it! She has to go to the pharmacy, and leaves her sick infant home alone. Wait, what?!). Why the other victims, and one kid who is apparently just passing through? My God, what was the point of all of this? Literally, how NOT to write a screenplay.
At the 45-minute mark, our "heroine" is tied, drawn and quartered-style, to two, I don't know, shipping crates? Our "villian" comes on the PA in a menacing voice to tell her if she doesn't comply, he will kill her baby! So I'm thinking, maybe this is supposed to be like a Saw ripoff? After completing it, I can safely say that, nope, Stalked doesn't even ASPIRE to be a grade-D Saw knockoff. You got the janitor, you got the suit. He runs around looking for her, while she hides in plain sight. Somehow there's a digital drone outside to shoot everyone down. She takes it out with an incredibly conveniently placed brick, once the drone conveniently runs out of ammo. Oh yeah, she sends everyone she encounters outside, easily escaping... to their demise! Dialogue, direction, cinematography, CGI effects, acting, coherent or logical storytelling? All dismal. Ok, the fight sequences were funny, ya got me.
Hey, look! I made a movie! ...followed by all his friends lying about how great it was.
