Not Alone

This film was shot very well. It is very scary, but there is an unexpected twist that I didn't see coming. Love when you watch a movie and you can not guess the ending.

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.

I mean, how many people can drown in a pool before you just put cement in it and call it a day! I could have ended this movie in 10 minutes!

And what's with the Doctor? Why is he so desperate to kill it? They never explain anything going on, or why it's happening.

It was so boring and emotionally disconnected from the characters - I was hoping the alien - ghost - mass psychosis thing would just kill them all. Now THAT would have made for a great movie!

RECOMMENDATION: Skip This Garbage!! Unless you're trying to make yourself dumber (which the world is already there any way) - then go ahead, be my guest!

Can't claim to ever have heard a single thing about this 2021 horror movie titled "Not Alone" from writers and directors Lydelle Jackson and Cezil Reed. Regardless, as I had the opportunity to sit down and watch "Not Alone", of course I did so, as it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. And I will say that the movie's synopsis was fair enough.

However, writers and directors Lydelle Jackson and Cezil Reed didn't really deliver anything grand here with this movie. Sure, it was semi-watchable, but that was also about all that there was to "Not Alone". I can't claim to have been particularly impressed with the storyline, nor overly entertained by what the movie delivered.

The pacing of the story and its narrative was slow and monotonous, and there wasn't ever any proper scares throughout the course of the 1 hour and 27 minutes that the movie ran for. And that made it somewhat tedious to sit through the entire movie.

I wasn't familiar with the cast in "Not Alone", but they didn't strike me as putting on memorable or outstanding performances. Now, I suspect that the writers are to blame here, because I am sure that the actors and actresses did their best. However, you are not in for a Shakespearian experience if you sit down to watch "Not Alone".

"Not Alone" is not a horror movie that I will ever be returning to watch a second time, because it was a struggle in itself to sit through it the first time. Not surprisingly, then this is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us did so you don't have to.

My rating of "Not Alone" lands on a generous three out of ten stars. A weak horror movie that failed to bring anything new or interesting to the genre.

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.
