The plot follows Dr. Hope Connors, played with conviction, as she navigates her traumatic past after moving her family to a seemingly tranquil suburb. The film effectively captures the essence of paranoia, particularly in its portrayal of Hope's escalating fear as she begins to notice signs of her stalker’s return. While the direction is competent, some pacing issues arise, particularly in the second act where tension wanes. The cinematography, however, does a commendable job of amplifying the film's eerie atmosphere, using shadows and close-ups to evoke discomfort. Although it doesn't break new ground in the thriller genre, Look Who's Stalking serves as a cautionary tale about the lingering effects of trauma. It’s an engaging watch for those who appreciate psychological thrillers, but it may not satisfy viewers seeking a more innovative narrative. Show less

The film starts with promise as Dr. Hope Connors relocates to escape her past, but soon enough, it becomes a bit predictable. Sure, it's got its moments of tension, especially when Hope starts seeing signs of her stalker, but the execution feels a bit heavy-handed at times. The performances are decent, with the lead bringing a relatable fear to the character, yet the supporting cast feels underdeveloped. The pacing drags in parts, and some plot twists seem forced rather than organic. It’s not a total miss, but if you’re after something fresh in the genre, Look Who's Stalking might leave you wanting more. It’s a decent watch for a quiet night, but don't expect to be on the edge of your seat throughout. Show less
