Interview with John Jarratt | StalkHer

Every day, Jack feels taunted and teased from a distance by Emily. One night, after his stalking obsession pushes him to the next level, Jack elects to break into Emily’s home, and do with her what he pleases. What he doesn’t count on, is for Emily to be lying in wait for his attack. When Jack awakens gagged and tied to a chair, he quickly realizes there is much more to this woman than he possibly could have imagined.

StalkHer is much more than a typical Hollywood thriller. This Aussie indie is a dark and seedy take on the ageless war of the sexes that rages on even in our very politically correct day and age. As John Jarratt’s Jack and Kaarin Fairfax’s Emily become acquainted, the harsh truths in both of their lives slowly reveal themselves, and we are treated to two characters far deeper than the StalkHer’s vague description could convey.
