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.

It's an entertaining movie that achieves most of its creative goals, keeping things uneasy without getting completely ugly.

Rated: B

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]

Too many things don't work, especially the contrived twist ending at the morgue.

...a lesser slasher that would hardly be worth mentioning were it not for Tom Hanks' cameo...

It reminds a lot of first "halloween" stuff. It came out one or two years after Carpenter's masterpiece.

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
