Wayne K It’s often the case that a certain film takes an idea and makes it work big time, but the idea itself had already been done years before. We’re all familiar with the Final Destination franchise, but Sole Survivor did the whole ‘Plane crash survivor suffering survivor guilt and anticipating their own doom.’ It starts off promisingly, seeming like its going to explore her mental state and the inherent tragedy of knowing that escaping death was a fluke and its only a matter of time before it catches up with you. But for some reason the film pivots about halfway through and devolves into a not especially compelling zombie slasher flick. I’m guessing the zombies are mean to represent something in her psyche, but it’s so random and poorly defined that it just bogs the film down. What could have been a fascinating psychological examination instead becomes a trite 80s slasher, and a waste of 85 minutes.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  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 1.5/5 Stars •  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 4.5/5 Stars •  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 3.5/5 Stars •  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 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
