Not Alone

Good story build up was but ending was out of the blue, out of context and didn't make much sense. I think it's more of a thrilling/drama movie and not horror, as there are barely any content you'd see in any horror movies.

I put this movie on more as background to working on my laptop. It was far more than background, and quickly moved into the foreground. No, it is not the perfect science fiction/horror movie that some of the reviewers are snobbishly looking for; but it is a well-acted story, with a decent plot and a nice little twist. For a low-budget flick, it was well worth watching.

The 10/10 reviews of which there are three, are all from accounts who have reviewed just THIS movie. Fake reviews! Caught YOU!!!!

This movie is lacking from the start. They're putting voodoo nonsense with a bunch of tokens standing around doing things at the beginning when it has no bearing on the rest of the film. You don't do that in films. If you start a movie that way it's because THAT PART is INTEGRAL TO THE PLOT!!! Hence lacking from the start.

They could have should have would have been better if they had.... built up the token scientist a lot more to give him better credibility. Then the family about turns because the alien is somehow pregnant. SHE? Told the girl this.

It's a little bit of a different take on the haunted home theme, it tried. Did it succeed? I think it did. I think it's a solid 4/10.

...but poorly and illogically thought-out execution.

The movie starts as a pretty standard haunting but turns scientific quite quickly, however the behavior of both the scientists and the family isn't logical considering their background, position in society and respective levels of power they have, and the same can be said unfortunately of the supernatural element there.

Could have been a 7 or 8 with a better writer, less intent on including pseudo-feminist tropes, because while originally it might have been intended as subversion, in reality they are pseudo-feminist when you think of how they were written out in this movie.

There's no horror here. I'm not talking about gory stuff, there's no atmosphere, no scare, no feeling with this movie. I guess the script didn't help but neither did the music. I wonder if the ones in charge with the music ever saw the raw version of the movie because man, the sounds are so not ok with the scenes.

All in all, if there's nothing else to do, you could watch it. But don't expect any bonding with the characters or a feeling of some sort.
