XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
elizrug I have olbly seen Lucy Walters in Get Shorty where she is good but not really memorable (because of her character) but in this, as the star, she shines. There's a scene where the character Chris is explaining what happened to his wife and Walters listens to him as if she is immersed in the story, as if she has never heard it, and as if she is processing what he is saying, just like anyone would do if that situation were real. Sometime actors look like they are acting while paying attention. They look like they are playing a part, even if they do a good job. Instead, Walters din't look one bit like she was acting, and that one scene really cinched it for me.Other than that, it was cool for showing the survival in the woods scenes more than running from zombies, like most zombie movies do. The ending, though not really satisfying from the point of view of someone who is rooting for Ann, is gratifying in it's lack of a fairytale.
Platypuschow Let's be clear from the bat, this isn't a zombie movie. The "Creatures" are more like 28 Days Later (2002) and are't undead merely affected by a virus.This dark gritty tale follows a young woman alone in the forest playing survivalist living off the land in order to survive the outbreak. Everything becomes more complicated however when she takes in a young girl and her stepdad.This heavily reminded me of The Survivalist (2015).Every once in a while the movie will cut to flashbacks giving us insight into her past and how she wound up alone but at no point did I find myself empathising.The movie though realistic simply isn't exactly gripping and though I was impressed with what they had accomplished this sadly wasn't entertaining.I appreciate this is a lot deeper than most films of it's type, but depth means nothing if you find yourself overwhelmingly bored.The Good: Very well madeThe Bad:Writing is patchyIncredibly boringSimply couldn't care about the charactersQuestionable endingThings I Learnt From This Movie:I'd be an awesome survivalist, if I could have high speed internet
lruella Literally nothing is happening in this movie. Slow and terribly boring. Basically it's people camping and sitting around. Nothing happens. After almost 60 minutes I decided that I had wasted already enough of my life and decided to stop it. You hope it's interesting for the first 10 minutes and then it's just endless boredom and nothingness.Avoid.
Bodo What a little gem! HERE ALONE follows a woman who's trying to survive alone in the woods. She soon finds company, with a man and his daughter joining her camp. Unfortunately, not everybody gets along...HERE ALONE is a zombie movie with very few zombies. But in essence, it is what the genre was always about: The plight of people in extreme situations. The movie focuses much on the interactions of its characters, not so much on the violence. HERE ALONE is calm, slow, and ultimately very strong on the emotional front.Besides the good acting, I have to point out the beautiful cinematography and camera work (great use of depth of field, beautiful landscape shots). But most importantly, the superb directing: The first few scenes are almost entirely told with images, little mini stories unfolding entirely through the actions of characters rather than through dialogue. Just when this may become boring, things change— the plot pacing is perfect, if you're in for a zombie movie that takes its time... If you're in for a violent gore flick, give this one a miss.
