18 & Over

This is a thriller about a woman who webcams isolating at a house for quarantine. So yes, it's a covid movie. While staying there, suspicious things start to happen...

If you're thinking the premise sounds intriguing but unoriginal you're right. Except the intrigue turns into boredom really quickly.

The plot is very slow and very predictable. There's a lot of random sexual content thrown in (which isn't unexpected given the premise), but many of the scenes are drawn out and necessary. Some of the cast is also terrible- it features actual influencers (gross) and Pamela Anderson's acting is some of the worst I've ever seen.

The only good part of this movie was Paris Hilton. She was actually kind of funny. Anyway, you'd be better off with a lifetime movie.

Alone at Night (2022) is a movie currently available on Hulu. The storyline follows a young lady with an Only Fans type page who has her top client obsessed with her. She is quarantined and feels safe from her followers...until someone breaks into her house with a motive to either kill or kidnap her, or both. Can she stop her would be attacker and unmask whom would want to do this to her?

This movie is directed by Jimmy Giannopoulos (The Birthday Cake) and stars Ashley Benson (Springbreakers), Jake Weary (It Follows), Winnie Harlow (America's Next Top Model), Paris Hilton (House of Wax), Pamela Anderson (Barbed Wire) and Luis Guzmán (Wednesday).

This is one of the wildest and most random casts you will ever see in a movie. It's too bad the writing wasn't better so they could have been better utilized. The primary storyline had potential but the kill/attack scenes weren't that intense, gory or well done. The entire reality television subplot wasn't needed and really didn't add anything to the movie. The execution of the reality series was both funny and really bad at the same time. There are some scene with good use of lighting and camera angles and the cinematography was very clean, almost too clean for the genre. A little more grit could have been used throughout the movie.

Overall, this is an awful addition to the horror genre that I would score a 3/10 and recommend skipping.

IS IT CAMPY AND DUMB? Yes. That's the beauty of it. People don't appreciate dumb movies enough. Too many movies have to be "good" or "well-made". Those movies are fine, but bad movies are too. Treat yourself to a nice garbage movie and watch this masterpiece.

But seriously, I think that the people in the reviews saying "Pamela Anderson must be hurting for money" are missing the point. This movie is campy and fun to watch. It's silly and no, it won't win any awards. But it's a decent plot with good acting. Highly recommend.

I gave it a 6 because I mean.... It's still not a perfectly good movie....

I mean come on! As far as thrillers go this wasn't that bad! It was all very relevant to the time I'm which it was made. From the webcam girls to Covid. And the cast, I mean come on it was sooooo random but so GOOD!!! From some really uhh names, to some stellar B lister cameos. The plot was good, the music was decent and some of the dialogue was cheesy, in a way that makes it amazing haha! And then we have the ending...It. Was. Glorious hahaha!! I am so not mad at the time I spent watching it. I loved seeing Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton. Then Jake Weary shows up. Like I said before. I don't understand the hate. It claims to be nothing more than it is. A cheesy thriller with a great cast.

..this was just straight up bad. The goofy comedic relief objectively fails at the funny. The softcore setups are forced as hell. The overall acting was lacking aside from a few key moments that genuinely impressed me. Ashley Benson was a good lead except for the cringe flirty/romantic moments but I'm aware that's more than likely not her decision. The whole "reality tv" house had virtually no point being in the story. This was just a kinda cheap way to plug those influencers names. There was no real plot twist seeming you're already about 99.99999% sure who the real "culprit" is. (Spoiler: It's who you think it is) All in all aside from those very few good parts, the movie is a total skip you won't regret.
