Critics Consensus

Alone's minimalistic approach makes this heightened thriller a gripping and suspenseful experience.

Richard Whittaker

Austin Chronicle

[Menchaca's] malicious control, the way he shifts from a damaged bird of a man to a hulking beast, helps put Alone away from the pack of middling modern slashers.

Rated: 3/5

Los Angeles Times

Top-tier performances from Jules Willcox and Marc Menchaca provide 98 minutes of heart-pounding diversion.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Doles out just enough information and just enough plot twists at just the right pace, giving you just what you came for.

Radio Times

Alone is a minor triumph of style over substance. While many of the plot beats feel familiar, some top-notch acting and superbly edgy direction from John Hyams help elevate the material, and the peach of an ending is well worth the wait.

Rated: 3/5

[Alone] is a taut and satisfying tale of survival that rewards viewers for bearing the non-stop tension and making it through to the other side.

Keith & the Movies

It’s a simple premise and director John Hyams wrings out every drop of tension while once again proving that when it comes to cinema less is often more.

I wouldn't call it particularly deep, original or creative and the last fight scene, though decent, is something of a stretch. That aside however, it's no nonsense delivery is appreciated, while some of the Menchaca scenes are downright special. 3.25/5

“The whole movie is an absolute mess. The premise is shaky at best, starting with how the villain randomly decides to make Jessica his next target just because she passed him on the road. How was he able to find her so easily every single time? The plot holes are glaring—for instance, how did he manage to poke her tire, yet it conveniently didn’t go flat until much later? Jessica’s decisions throughout the movie are frustratingly dumb, especially in the woods. Taking his car without first ensuring she had the keys was ridiculous, and then hiding behind the seats? Come on. To top it off, the villain gets hit in the head 5 or 6 times with a metal bar and somehow acts like nothing happened. The acting? Awful. It made an already unbelievable plot even harder to sit through. Overall, this movie is crazy stupid and a total waste of time

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Very well acted and directed psychological thriller with edge-of-your-seat tension and just enough violence to keep you engaged. Menchaca is fabulous.

The audience score is very disappointing. I usually side with the public more than critics on RT but in this case I’m definitely on the side in the critics. This film was a thriller masterpiece.

This movie is hot garbage. The postmaster from Jumanji hunts down a recently widowed woman with an unbelievable ability to survive exposure. The scenes all have poor continuity. The storyline is an unimaginative, AI generated, amalgamation of every other movie of this type. The acting doesn't even seem as disappointing as the fact that I can't get any of my wasted time back. Hot garbage. 🔥 🗑️
