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.

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

Nightmarish Conjurings

[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.

Alone started out brilliantly, but some parts of the movie are SO DUMB it completely ruined it. It could have been perfect, it could have been AMAZING. Instead, it's just an above average film worth watching if you can't find anything else.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Um bom filme daqueles de sessão da tarde ou Supercine. Ou seja, dentro da média, e portanto facilmente esquecível. As atuações são convincentes, a mocinha não tem super poderes e nem é tão inteligente. Existe uma falha no roteiro que força a barra na parte inicial onde ela diz que está a 500 km de distância e que demoraria 2 dias de viagem, e mesmo ela andando com o carro vários kms, o perseguidor a encontrava. Tirando isso, o resto é convincente.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This script is elementary, one she leaves without telling anyone, then she is a single petite woman only driving in back roads, then itthe 21st century, but she is driving 1800’s car, then she gets out at a rest area at night by herself, then perceives to drive back roads again knowing she is being followed, just refuses to take the freeway which is faster to her destination and safer, cars breaks down and she gets out In complete darkness, knowing a man is possibly stalking her, she magically pulls a nail out of wood, then escapes, he just happens to know which direction she went in, she get shot, survives, gets a root in her foot, and now her foot looks like it’s been shot, she then meets a man, he gets kill, she get in his car out of all places, tries to make a phone call, and out of all people calls his wife, omg, then gets in fight with a 200lb plus guy and kills him at the end, and happy ever after, mannnnn if this isn’t the definition of a elementary script great actors, great film production, and editing, but horrible script writing, to basic for today’s environment, it could have been way better, only thing save this movie were the actors, production & editing

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

very good, tight, well-acted psychological thriller. I don't think ppl who gave it a bad review realize why it's so good. they overthink it.
