[Menchaca's] malicious control, the way he shifts from a damaged bird of a man to a hulking beast, helps put Alone away from the pack of middling modern slashers. Go to Full Review Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times Sep 21, 2020
Top-tier performances from Jules Willcox and Marc Menchaca provide 98 minutes of heart-pounding diversion. Go to Full Review Angie Han FilmWeek (LAist) Sep 19, 2020
Doles out just enough information and just enough plot twists at just the right pace, giving you just what you came for. Go to Full Review Karl Puschmann New Zealand Herald Feb 13, 2025
A film as stripped down as this one really hinges on its actors, and they really struck gold. Go to Full Review Dave Golder Radio Times Sep 7, 2023
3/5
Alone is a minor triumph of style over substance. While many of the plot beats feel familiar, some top-notch acting and superbly edgy direction from John Hyams help elevate the material, and the peach of an ending is well worth the wait.

[Alone] is a taut and satisfying tale of survival that rewards viewers for bearing the non-stop tension and making it through to the other side. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Fred H @RT02776135 Sep 7, 2026 That was a awful ending should have had more See more Russell H @RT85733992 Aug 10, 2026 Nothing I haven't seen before but that's not always a bad thing. Kept me entertained See more S99 T @Regrets2016 Jul 31, 2026 Good movie. I enjoyed it. See more J H @UpstateNYThriller Jul 22, 2026 7.5/10 Suspense Thriller Movie about women whose husband dies from suicide. She packs up and moves to the Pacific northwest some guy follows her and kidnaps her. She escapes his house in the forest and he chases her. Very good isolation. Survival type movie crazy killer. See more syzygy10 T @syzygy10 Jun 20, 2026 I'm puzzled why critics loved this so much and audiences liked it so little. It belongs somewhere in between. Nothing new here, just a taut, well-paced entry in the woman-alone-vs-psychopath-in-the-wild genre. The performances are everything in these films, and both Willcox and Menchaca deliver the goods. No deep themes, just a good watch if you like this sort of thing. See more Toby P @Tobypearce1 Jun 3, 2026 Worst film I have ever watched, she had so many ways to get away and a really boring main character, I have never felt the need to write a review about a film before but this film made me feel so frustrated and irritated, absolutely rubbish!
