Critics Consensus

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

Read Critics Reviews

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.

New Zealand Herald

A film as stripped down as this one really hinges on its actors, and they really struck gold.

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.

I just don't understand critics who liked this. The movie starts well but as soon as the bad protagonist enters the scene it is cliché after cliché we've seen so many times. So predictable.

Un buon survival movie in grado di cambiare pelle e di dividersi in tre parti, viaggio, prigionia e fuga; tutte ben distinte sia come ritmi che come location. Ovviamente in un genere da sempre sovra utilizzato è molto complesso inventarsi nuovi colpi di scena o risultare originali; senza dubbio la sceneggiatura si concentra maggiormente sulla ricerca della qualità e soprattutto della credibilità; non ci sono infatti grandi forzature, a parte forse qualche comportamento eccessivo del villain. Film gradevole ed accattivante; con un buon finale ad alto impatto grazie alla telefonata alla famiglia del villain, che dà una forte spinta emotiva.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
