Stalker, ultimately, is about a threshold, the forces that guard the threshold, the irreconcilable spaces it separates, the fears and desires that inhibit its crossing.

The Stalker guides his hand-picked customers into The Zone to reach The Room, a place where wishes are supposedly granted to anyone capable of threading one's way through the dangers of the treacherous landscape haunted by a spectre that is never quite realized except in words and traces.
That the film ends with a bizarre soliloquy by the Stalker's wife, that her husband is slightly deranged, undercuts the notional (literal) nature of the quest and also brings to light the perhaps troubling (alternative) idea that he is quite simply a visionary madman.
The Stalker has, in fact, developed a highly suggestive ethic for entering The Zone that includes ritualistic pathfinding, guiding only people of so-called impeccable character and putting them at the frontline of the prospective dangers associated with making the trek; as such, he guides them through their very own fears and compulsions.

For instance, an injured stalker, who we go to rescue can safely await us in one play-through, we can find him in combat with an attacking monster in another one, he may be discovered by a hostile stalker roaming nearby and killed at another play-through and so on.
Monsters and stalkers evaluate their victory probabilities and make decisions whether to attack you or not, whether to run away in the middle of the battle etc, and they make these decisions basing on loads of factors.
An interesting thing to mention is that when a stalker or monster loses sight of you, instead of cheating and knowing where you are, he will try to guess where you could go hiding from that last spot he saw you.

Firstly, in the novel the 'stalker' does have a name (Redrick 'Red' Schuhart) and the environment that surrounds his life and that of The Zone is examined in detail.

 Reviews by Maurice Broaddus: Night Stalker
The original series, Kolchak: the Night Stalker was a show that greatly influenced the creation of the X-Files (Frank Spotnitz of the X-Files has come full circle and is a writer and executive producer for the show).
Together, they investigate mysterious deaths and strange happenings, which may be related to the death of Kolchak’s wife—a death that a member of the FBI still considers Kolchak having a hand in.
Night Stalker, like the X-Files, is about faith and the pursuit of the truth—faith in things that go bump in the night, principalities, unseen forces, and faith that there is some reason behind them all.

 Bland characters lack killer instinct in 'Stalker' - The Boston Globe
And in one scene during tonight's premiere, at 9 on Channel 5, the 1970s-era McGavin is digitized into the new show's newspaper office, leaning up against a desk like a bright cardboard cutout.
''Night Stalker" is from Frank Spotnitz, an executive producer of ''The X-Files," but it has none of that show's lively and clever self-reference.
ABC is making a big move on Thursdays, an already fiercely competitive night, by slotting ''Alias" at 8 and then ''Night Stalker." But while the usually dynamic ''Alias" may indeed attract a share of viewers, ''Night Stalker" probably won't inspire so much as anesthetize them.
