Alone with You

Lucky to catch this gem at it's LA Premier. Top notch performances, technically flawless, and very, very creepy. One great jump scare, but that's not what it's about. Definitely chilling and a good companion for classic women psychosis movies like IMAGES, THREE WOMEN, POSSESSION, DARLING, or REPULSION. It may be the best horror flick I've seen since IT FOLLOWS. Definitely seek this one out!

I was so looking forward to this movie as I'm a huge fan of the director . Well the acting is the worst I've ever seen and the leading actress made the film unwatchable and I had to turn it off . Every other word and I mean every other word was f this f that and it became just so so stupid that you have to question the directors education . I've looked at Facebook YouTube and Instagram and he also swears constantly and sadly has bought it to his films . I'll probably give up on him now as I've just tuned this garbage off after almost half an hour it's that bad. Almost human is sadly a distant memory.

A very simple independent movie that effectively shows the downward spiral of a fragile psyche, that keeps you guessing even if some of its plot elements may be predictable.

I enjoyed the main character's portrait of a damaged woman, struggling with the relationships in her life.

Very nice cinematography and beautiful photography, accompanied by an interesting music score and sound design. No gore nor big budget effects, the film relies solely on its performances.

It's a movie worth watching if you like supernatural psychological thrillers, with a few horror movie cliches but full of interesting details.

I stumbled upon the 2021 thriller "Alone with You" in 2022, by random chance. And with this being a movie that I hadn't already seen, and it having Barbara Crampton on the cast list, of course I opted to sit down and see what writers and directors Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks had to offer here.

And I will say that "Alone with You" started out quite nice, and it kept being interesting a good long way through its run time. But then the movie just shifted into the absurd and becoming very chaotic and disharmonious, and providing little sense to me. Sure, I was getting that this might be something about a foray into Charlene's troubled psyche. But it became really annoying really fast, and the chaos ended up taking away the enjoyment from the movie.

The acting performances in "Alone with You" were good, and lead actress (and writer and director) Emily Bennett really put on a great performance in portraying the troubled Charlene character. I was disappointed that Barbara Crampton was hardly in the movie at all, especially since I was looking forward to seeing her in a thriller.

Visually then "Alone with You" starts out interesting enough, slowly building up the suspense, but eventually the whole thing became too chaotic for my liking.

It was a shame really, because "Alone with You" was off to a great start and there was so much potential for a great thriller right there. But ultimately then directors Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks ended up delivering a movie that fell short of thoroughly entertaining me. Sure, the movie was watchable, but it was just too much of a scrambled and chaotic display.

My rating of "Alone with You" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

Your first clue that it's going to be a terrible movie, Emily Bennett wrote, directed and stars in the movie. You need to be a Steven Spielberg or even a Sylvester Stallone caliber director to pull that off successfully and Emily Bennett is not.
