Timestalker Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025Timestalker is one of those films that benefits from being seen with a late night festival crowd. It’s a silly, century-spanning romance featuring Alice Lowe yearning for the fleeting love of her past lives. The production looks great from all of the period costumes and gaudy wigs to the 80’s hair and leotards w/leggings. The soft focus haze gives it all a whimsical dream-like feeling which is very fitting. While I don’t think I would have enjoyed this as much watching alone in the comfort of my own home, I came away from this feeling like Alice Lowe is an absolute force. I’ll have to check out Prevenge and keep an eye out for her future projects.
- SpoonsDecember 16, 2024Time 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.
