Gary Arnold Washington Post He Knows You're Alone inspires sustained, high-decibel shrieking when Mastroianni cuts loose, but it ingratiates itself in a more congenial way by being so mischievosly movie-crazy and by swift strokes of characterization and funny romatic by play. Dec 18, 2015 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com It's an entertaining movie that achieves most of its creative goals, keeping things uneasy without getting completely ugly. Rated: B May 29, 2021 Full Review Jesús Fernández Santos El Pais (Spain) He Knows You're Alone doesn't pretend to add anything new to the genre. It offers horror for the sake of horror. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 14, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Too many things don't work, especially the contrived twist ending at the morgue. Rated: C+ Feb 3, 2017 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a lesser slasher that would hardly be worth mentioning were it not for Tom Hanks' cameo... Rated: 1.5/4 Dec 9, 2016 Full Review Andreas Samuelson Slasherpool Like many horror films this starts out great but falls back on a disappointing climax Rated: 3/5 Sep 7, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Tasos L It reminds a lot of first "halloween" stuff. It came out one or two years after Carpenter's masterpiece. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Rich S Find a better movie that only 3 out of 10 people like. I double-dog dare you. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Audience Member LOL, the most original and most romantic Tom Hanks R-rated movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Is frightening and creepy slasher movie but there's a issue of this film the villain does not wear a mask and we know who the villain is but does not have a reason why the villain is murdering young women for a bride and the biggest laughed was the opening scene which later was used on the naked gun intro and this is Tom Hanks first and last horror movie to perform. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Is a frightening creepy slasher film but is a okay cheesy movie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/21 Full Review dave s The low-budget He Knows You're Alone looks like it was written and shot by an 8th grader who borrowed his father's camera. The story is ludicrous. The dialogue is embarrassing. The acting is wooden. The production values are non-existent. There are countless scenes that serve no purpose. Case in point: the absurd car chase. There are countless characters who serve no purpose. Case in point: the Tom Hanks' character. There are situations within scenes that serve no purpose. Case in point: what's the purpose of the owner blowing cigar smoke in the bride-to-be's face? The entire movie is nothing more than an irritating, jaw-clenching mess and is only worth watching to see Hanks in his film debut. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
