One woman, one man, many lifetimes, lots of beheadings. Alice Lowe (Prevenge) gives us a hilarious and violent, fantastical, multi-period piece in her sophomore feature, Timestalker. It’s a thrilling tale of misplaced affection, unrequited lust and revenge as it spans centuries of Agnes (played by Lowe) repeatedly making the same mistake: falling for the same man throughout time and then dying. As her reincarnations evolve, from 1688 Scotland to 1980s England, the love of her lives is always just out of reach until she realizes that maybe she doesn’t need that man at all. A true relatable horror. -Caryn Coleman
