Stalked by My Ex

About This Movie

Stalked by My Ex is a gritty little thriller that plays with tension really well. Boyle has a knack for building atmosphere, and you can feel the weight of the protagonist’s past. The pacing isn’t lightning-fast, but it keeps you engaged with a sense of impending doom. The performances, especially from the lead, have a raw quality that makes the character's fear palpable. Themes of domestic abuse and survival are explored without too much melodrama, which is a nice touch. There’s a certain authenticity in the small-town setting that adds to the tension, and the practical effects are minimal but effective—nothing over-the-top. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s solid for what it aims to do.
