great thriller movie. The actor did a good job as a creeper and you can feel it through the movie, there are a couple of questionable decisions made in the movies that will probably make you facepalm yourself. however you might feel like you have watched this type of movie before as there is nothing too special about it, but if you only wanted to be entertained i think this one is for you.

The worst survival movie ever no thrill no story no background story no tension-matic story , nothing there . worst direction just 0.5 star for climax one photo shot the mud one was good thats te real thing

Alone is a great little movie! If taut, breathless,'çat and mouse' survival thrillers are your thing this is highly recommended.

By the end of the independent film directed by John Hyams, Alone I was out of breath, my palms sweaty, my knuckles white. As the credits rolled I realised ninety minutes had gone by in what felt like an instant. It isn't often a piece of media can conjure such intense emotions as Alone does so effortlessly. Alone follows Jessica Swanson a woman moving house to a new neighbourhood in her car however she is pursued by an ever-present stalker and it all evolves from there into a symphony of thrills. The plot is beautifully simple, almost self aware in its primitiveness. It attempts to deliver a taut, tense cinematic experience which it succeeds at in flying colours. The character of this elusive stalker frightened me to my core. He is so grounded in reality which makes him all the more disturbing. Like a wolf in sheep's clothing he dwells among us and strikes unsuspecting women through cunning manipulation and extreme persistence. Really terrifying stuff. I usually don't comment on acting since to me it doesn't make a large difference in the quality of a film but Marc Menchaca plays this character very well. Until the second act of the film he technically doesn't do anything wrong though he definitely seems off. If not done properly he could come across as quite a likeable guy but Marc gives him just the right amount of creepiness to terrify me from start to finish as his savage and abhorrent tendencies are slowly revealed. One thing that struck me when watching the film was the masterful cinematography. Federico Verardi is able to show so much with so little. Every clear, concise frame is interesting on some level keeping the viewer glued to the screen. At first I felt the widescreen aspect ratio didn't suit the claustrophobic mood but it soon grew on me giving the vast, stunning yet unforgiving American wilderness a sense of grandeur as if the forest itself is spectating this brutal cat and mouse scenario. All in all, I really enjoyed Alone. It is pure, honest, visceral, reviving cinema. It doesn't reinvent the wheel but the wheel it uses is polished to a glistening shine. I usually don't enjoy thrillers (I am a bit of touchy with horror films) but this had me enthralled. Go and watch as long as you don't pass out from stress halfway through the film I think you'd enjoy it. Hope this review helped!

I rather enjoyed this. I thought the writers and director did a pretty good job with taking an otherwise subpar plot and finding a way to keep the audience engaged throughout - at least I was. With the exception of a couple of scenes that lingered a bit longer than they should have, this film was otherwise, well done.

This was the least plausible movie I have ever seen. The choices made by the people in the movie were so unrealistic. For example, if you're running away from someone in a thick forest, just lay down. You will never get caught.

Originally a festival fave in 2018, this film became a sizable success during the pandemic benefitting from great reviews ( 94% RT) and a solid audience score. The film is an intense, sometimes frustrating, simplistic theater that focuses on a young woman moving cross country who comes up against as serial killer. It's a survival thriller that takes a bit to find it's stride but when it does is quite impressive. Filmed beautifully with a solid lead performance this stylish horror flick is slick, escapist entertainment. I expect great things from the director and actress moving forward. ***.5/5

No offence to UltimateRich but ignore his review as he's confused this movie with another of the same name. As others have already said, Alone is a really good survival thriller.

I can't believe some of the negative reviews posted here. Did they see the same movie as me?! While some suspension of disbelief is necessary it doesn't detract from what is a great, edge- of-your-seat thriller. Go see.

Some of the most annoying characters I've ever seen. I would have given this 0/10, but I give it one point for Bailey Coppola, who both looks and over acts just like his uncle Nicolas Cage.

What a waste of money. Why make a movie were the characters make choices no one would in real life. Makes it very annoying and unwatchable.

Suspenseful! Deliverance-oogy feeling and heart racing. Just loved this! No nudity and doesn't go too far... one of best suspense films this year.

Massively overrated. It's poorly written and poorly executed. The serial killer is a cartoon that basically reviews the vast majority of cliches that involve these characters and his dialogues hurt because they're so stupid. It certainly has its positive points, more than anything that its main character is not a lady in distress, so she's not a simplistic victim, however the story offers little to make you feel really interested or concerned about her well-being. So it goes without saying that it never becomes a more intense or more engaging experience. It's hard for me to understand how it has received so many positive critics.

به عنوان یک تریلر با برخی لحظات ترسناک، میشود این فیلم را جدی گرفت. از نظر شخصیتپردازی اما امتیازی ویژه ندارد. مدت زمان فیلم کمی طولانی است. عملکرد دو بازیگر اصلی خوب است و موسیقی فیلم هم قابل قبول.از این اثر انتظار یک کار روانشناختی یا فلسفی عمیق نداشته باشید.

Who locks someone up and leaves the key in the keyhole? That did it for me. That’s just one of the many ridiculous things in this movie.

This movie was terrible. It was a paint by numbers cat and mouse story, with the main character making stupid decision after stupid decision. Completely unbelievable behaviours that served only to lead to the next struggle scene. The world didn’t need this stupid movie to be made. Don’t waste your time or money.
