Review of Alone

Alone (V) (2020)
7/10
Love the ending sequence
31 January 2021
In the beginning, I was a bit frustrated because the heroine doesn't really take any precautions although she has a feeling that this creepy guy has been following her. I get that she has some issues with her mother, but maybe not calling 911 yet, but talk to your family about what's happening in case when something actually happens. Certainly not hanging up with your phone when this stranger who's been stalking you is about to approach you AGAIN! Keep talking so that he has to think twice before he does anything (because he wouldn't wanna let the other person on the phone know something fishy going on especially if he is a serial killer, don't you think?).

Someone wrote some parts of this film is not plausible and I partially agree with the reviewer. It's uncanny that the heroine and the killer miraculously encounter many times in this seemingly vast woods. However, you'll forget these small claims once the heroine gets captured. The story starts moving with a good pace from then on.

I knew this girl wouldn't give up. She is a survivor! She even reminded me of the scene from Predator (1987) at one point lol. At the end where she decides to face this psycho killer once and for all, it gets really good. I even rewound the scene and watched it again. The way she stands while holding a crowbar, man! It even has an atmosphere of Samurai movies: you resolve to kill your opponent or you'll die. It was pretty cool. I didn't expect that coming. It is so good that you'll overlook any minor flaws of the movie.

There are tons of movies like this one for sure, but don't stop watching even if you feel like you've watched this kind of movie before. The ending is pretty redeeming. Oh, one more thing. What I learned from this is to bring a gun with me if I travel alone across the states.
