Alone

I didn't have any expectations coming to this. So, despite the somewhat formulaic plot the great direction, the top notch performances, ( particularly from Jules Wilcox), amazing soundtrack, all contribute to make this better than the sum of it's parts. It's incredibly taut at times and it never lets up. Definitely worth a watch. I'll be interested to see where John Hyams goes from here. a solid film and , owing to my nerves being shredded at times it's a 7/10 for me.

I'm giving a generous 8 as support for the director and writer. Of course this is a remake but there's much more to appreciate from the film. The only thing I didn't like was the guy's motivation, which unexplained and deserves a closure at the end.

Silly movie and low budget. Just 2 actors and nothing take attraction, nothing to terrify you only usual nature a man who maybe gone mad or serial killer. I don't see any horror in that. Just when I thought this movie couldn't be any more stupid, she hides in the kidnapper's car and even makes a phone call. Women alone and sees killer many times and keeps going on her trip alone until she gets kidnapped?!! Normal women who see that man more than once in the remote woods? Stranger Danger. Exactly. How many times did she see him pull up or drive by, and yet she continued on her trip/? I suspect being followed don't tell a stranger which way I am heading.

"Alone" is a rock-solid thriller. If you are a jaded horror fan, you'll scream "don't do it" multiple times, and mostly, your wish is granted. Very well acted and tautly paced, it is a worthy entry in the "serial abduction and escape" genre.

REVIEW - ALONE Not another! Yep We have seen so many of these films recently where a female gets either kidnapped or chased by a nutter what could possibly make this stand out from all of the rest to make this your choice to watch? Well actually it was rather good with the suspense building nicely throughput the film, yes predictable in places and slow in others but what made this for me was 2 very simple things. 1st, It's set in the real wild so rather than having an actor pretend to be in a forest in the middle of the sun shine this was actually filmed during one of the biggest rain storms so added that realistic element. 2nd, as we see in so many films the complete back story of every character is told just rushing what could have been a great film, answering every question by the end of the film but this film doesn't, you don't know why he is doing what he is doing, you don't know his back story and you are only briefly told the main female characters back story which is relevant to what is happening in the film so this film could concentrate on the story without rushing or explaining everything, keeping you guessing as to his motive or not. So yes this does stand out from the other films of this genre and is one to see if you get the opportunity. Rating 7 out of 10
