elizrug I have olbly seen Lucy Walters in Get Shorty where she is good but not really memorable (because of her character) but in this, as the star, she shines. There's a scene where the character Chris is explaining what happened to his wife and Walters listens to him as if she is immersed in the story, as if she has never heard it, and as if she is processing what he is saying, just like anyone would do if that situation were real. Sometime actors look like they are acting while paying attention. They look like they are playing a part, even if they do a good job. Instead, Walters din't look one bit like she was acting, and that one scene really cinched it for me.Other than that, it was cool for showing the survival in the woods scenes more than running from zombies, like most zombie movies do. The ending, though not really satisfying from the point of view of someone who is rooting for Ann, is gratifying in it's lack of a fairytale.

jbm-05925 I really like the fact that this is not at horror or splash movie. Instead it has a a good theme, history and acting. There is no stupid heroric moments, where you would think "why are you doing this?" Searching of danger is done when it's needed too. That means you dont get to see a lot of zombies, shooting and screaming which i think makes it more trustworthy.I would like if we had a better look of what she experienced at the start of the outbreak. The movie could have been longer for that reason :)

Platypuschow Let's be clear from the bat, this isn't a zombie movie. The "Creatures" are more like 28 Days Later (2002) and are't undead merely affected by a virus.This dark gritty tale follows a young woman alone in the forest playing survivalist living off the land in order to survive the outbreak. Everything becomes more complicated however when she takes in a young girl and her stepdad.This heavily reminded me of The Survivalist (2015).Every once in a while the movie will cut to flashbacks giving us insight into her past and how she wound up alone but at no point did I find myself empathising.The movie though realistic simply isn't exactly gripping and though I was impressed with what they had accomplished this sadly wasn't entertaining.I appreciate this is a lot deeper than most films of it's type, but depth means nothing if you find yourself overwhelmingly bored.The Good: Very well madeThe Bad:Writing is patchyIncredibly boringSimply couldn't care about the charactersQuestionable endingThings I Learnt From This Movie:I'd be an awesome survivalist, if I could have high speed internet

VariaSuit I came into this film expecting low-budget, maybe-entertaining, zombie cheese... instead I walked away horrified at the human condition and its capacity to absorb emotional suffering.Here Alone is a slow burner, with little (but some) gore, and not too many traditional scare moments... it focuses on the humans in the movie, the human condition in general, and it's the better for it. Kudos to the entire crew of this modest-budget movie... they've done something special here.
