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

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.

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.

Rated: 4/5

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. 🔥 🗑️

Very well made and well acted but nothing new, feels like a student film due to its very small scale, familiar concepts, this must be the world's smallest forest the way they kept running into each other.

I thought this movie did have its good edge-of-your-seat moments, but overall, I thought it was a pretty slow paced movie, which is why I'd only give it a 2.5/5 rating

Pretty good, but some things were unrealistic. I know the lighting has to be enough to see what's going on, but forests at night are typically much darker. Also, the bad guy got beat in the head with a tire iron about four times, but he came out looking too pretty and clear headed... before the woman finally killed him (spoiler, maybe, but you knew the bad guy would die). I know that's nitpicky. Otherwise, it's a pretty good suspense film.

My heart was pumping the entire time! Great watch from a film I had little expectations for going in.

This was so bad I made an account to leave a review. It was like if you asked an AI to make a generic horror movie. I think the Rotten Tomatoes critics were trolling for engagement because I thought this movie was absolutely awful. But hey, what do I know. Go waste a few hours of your life and say I was wrong. This was supposed to be a one sentence review but the more I typed the angrier I got that I watched this. I apologize.
