Timestalker

Interesting premise, great cast, but I don't think it works in this execution. First half feels like a gimmick that becomes repetitious and tiresome. It gets better in the second half and the finale but it's a bit too much contrast from the first to feel like a single piece. I would almost like to see it recut into four thirty minute episodes that elaborate and reflect on the circular reincarnations before devoting the final episode to the conclusion. And bring the camp into the spotlight instead of keeping it lingering by the curtains.

A very interesting concept... but totally wasted. It could have been interesting in so many ways (real time travel, mixing timelines, mixing actors and characters, have a real progression, other characters remembering, ...), but nothing.

The first time period is ok. The second is way way too long and basically brings nothing new. The movie has already become boring by then. Well, the third is extremely short and funny, more like that would have been better. After that it's just boring. Specially as she really is more and more of an actual stalker.

There's one or two good jokes to keep, but not much more.

Time Stalker stars Alice Lowe as a character obsessed with reincarnation and eternal love, journeying through various eras. Alice Lowe brings her signature unhinged energy to the role, reminiscent of her performance in Sightseers. The film’s plot revolves around her character’s attempts to reconnect with her soulmate, played by Aneurin Barnard, across different lifetimes. Nick Frost portrays a character who is equally obsessed but ultimately the antagonist.

The movie tries to merge high-concept sci-fi with themes of reincarnation and love across time. While the concept is intriguing, the film doesn’t quite achieve the balance between its sci-fi elements and madcap energy. The ‘80s sequences are stylistically cool, and there’s a lesbian subplot that, unfortunately, doesn’t fully develop.

Overall, Timstalker feels like a film with a grand idea that had to be scaled back, resulting in a middle-ground approach that doesn’t fully embrace its potential as either a madcap comedy or a full-fledged sci-fi horror. Fans of Alice Lowe and Nick Frost might still find enjoyment in their performances, but it may not be for everyone.

This film will be popular with people who like quirky, unconventional sci-fi stories with a touch of humor like Sightseers or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind.

Stop after the first death and it's a great short story. If you continue then its not a good movie.
