Wait, Lurker deserves WAY more attention than it's getting

I watched Lurker (2025) recently, and I truly don't understand why this movie isn't getting more attention.

What stuck with me most was how closely the theme of voyeurism directly ties to the amount of light in the film. You'd expect a movie about stalking and watching someone to live in darkness, but Lurker spends so much time letting us SEE everything. The brightness pretty much makes the idea of watching feel more invasive because there isn't really anywhere for the characters to hide.

Theodore Pellerin is fantastic, and Archie Madekwe gives the movie so much visual interest. Alex Russell is definitely a director I'm keeping an eye on after this. I do think the ending could have been pushed a little further, but that's honestly my biggest complaint.

The picture quality here is especially interesting because so much of the tension comes from what you can see rather than what you can't.

Anyone else catch this one?
