Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Stalker's Prey is worth clearing space for. Stalker's Prey trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. Laura's life is turned upside down when she is attacked by a shark while celebrating her 18th birthday. She's rescued by Bruce, a handsome young man just returned home from college. As she recovers, he becomes a local hero for his bravery. Saxon Sharbino and Mason Dye lead a cast doing genuinely serious work here. Stalker's Prey came out in 2017. What elevates Stalker's Prey is a refusal to let any character off the hook too easily. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Stalker's Prey is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Saxon Sharbino is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.
