Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania Eberhardt manages to make good use of the amount to craft a horror movie full of foreboding dread with the help of David F. Anthony's ambient score. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 14, 2020 Full Review Chris Alexander Alexander On Film SOLE SURVIVOR is a supremely slow, obscenely eerie exercise in dread, one that manages to reference Rod Serling, Ingmar Bergman and George Romero, sometimes within the same scene. Nov 12, 2019 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore A metaphor of survivor's guilt, in that many who've survived devastating tragedies later feel guilty for having lived while others died- they're literally haunted. Rated: 3.5/5 May 1, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This must be where the writers of Final Destination got the idea for that movie? Great movie. Well ahead of its time.? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Pensé que eran fantasmal al comienzo, luego que eran zombies asesinos, pero no comen gente. Ni idea. al final la matan. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Remarkably underrated chiller with shades of Carnival of Souls and Let's Scare Jessica To Death. Anita Skinner plays Denise, the recent survivor of a terrible plane crash who's starting to believe that death isn't finished with her. One can see elements of this in the Final Destination series, but Sole Survivor's trying to play a different, slightly more mature game, all the while giving us a very interesting take in the zombie subgenre. Skinner, who looks a good deal like Chloe Sevingy, happens to be a great heroine and the mood and atmosphere are so thick, you could cut them with a knife. Just wait until the horrifyingly downbeat and haunting ending. This one's a real lost classic. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty cool movie about the sole survivor of a plane crash and her strange life afterwards. Very much the inspiration for the movie It Follows as well as providing the original concept of the Final Destination franchise. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Watchable film about the (duh) sole survivor of a plane crash who begins to see strange apparitions around her in the days following the accident. Predates the Final Destination franchise by a decade or so and gives some similar themes and chills. Worth a rental. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Much better than what idiots on Flixster will tell you. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
