Tim V A bachelor, living alone in an apartment, suddenly finds himself thrust into a nightmare when the zombie apocalypse breaks out. Barricading himself inside, he tries to wait it out, but dwindling supplies, and isolation eat at him as he begins to think he's the only person left. Just as he prepared to end things, spotting his pretty neighbor from the apartment across the street stops him and makes him realize he needs to be proactive. This is the plot of an amazing movie, #alive. Unfortunately Alone, it's American counter part, fails to live up to it. The acting seems to fall flat, and there a lack of dread in the atmosphere that really makes everything feel low stakes. Will our hero Aidan manage to rescue his wood be Rapunzel? Will they find the supplies needed to survive? Honestly, the characters don't seem to care, and neither do I. All this leads to an ending that falls flat and seems to leave room for a sequel that will never happen. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Matthew B If I'm not mistaken this film is brought to us by the co-writer of "#Alive", it is the American adaptation of the same source material. Although seemingly much lower in budget, this film hits most of the same beats #Alive does and does it almost as effectively. It has to be said that this version does a handful of things differently than its sibling, and I enjoyed these changes quite a lot. For starters, the infected in this version are alive rather than undead, and they even retain some level of intelligence. They know how to speak, screaming things such as "kill me", "let me in" or "come here". This is can be extremely unsettling and I quite like the atmosphere this movie builds using the infected screams and pleads for death as background ambience. The infected even seem to have the ability of loose strategy, with a couple crawling up into the ventilation system and into other apartments to find fresh victims. This is something you rarely see in zombie movies. Our two main protagonists also live closer than the ones in the Korean version, making it SLIGHTLY easier for them to communicate and exchange items. Is this movie tacky? yeah. Is it (AT TIMES) poorly acted? also yes. But the film does its best with what it has and doesn't deserve the overly negative reviews. #Alive is superior but this movie has enough different ideas to merit its own existence in my opinion. The absolute worst part of this experience was the extremely abrupt ending. This COULD be forgiven if we are to assume our protagonists meet the same fate as the ones in the Korean version, that being saved by the military... but either way the ending comes across as extremely lazy. It's almost as if they unexpectedly ran out of money to film last second and just had to cut things short. But other than that, decently entertaining zombie movie. Just be sure to also watch #Alive, it's an excellent film.
