You're Not Alone

Without any spoilers, there are so many things in this movie that never add up. Like the lack of storyline and purpose for instance. This ends up feeling like a higher budget Lifetime movie. People go missing without any question to their disappearance. I'm still not sure what this movie is about. There are a million warnings yet the need to leave the house isn't present. I could go on but it's not worth it. This was a complete waste of time.

A failed Boogeyman clone. That's what this movie WISHES it was.

I saw its low IMDB score before watching, but remained neutral, and thought I'd give it a try. I was not expecting a masterpiece, but was STILL disappointed.

For 3/4 of the time nothing happens, while the general tone and acting makes you feel depressed and bored, not scared.

(TRIGGER WARNING for people struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts!)

You don't care about any characters, they are lifeless to begin with. Probably poor acting or directing.

When the action finally kicks in (after 70 boring minutes!) it's random and makes no sense.

Finally the movie closes on a poor attempt at a plot twist (which was random and made no sense, again).

Not worth your time.

Okay, decent acting. I loved the scenery and the plot, but it took too long to finish. It kept me interested, but at the same time, I was like get on with it already! Kinda seen the end coming, though. The overall story was good, but for the time it took to it all to come to a close, eh. I was exhausted. I enjoyed the film, but it's a one time watch. Trust me. It's good enough to get 5 out of 10 for me, but I can't go any higher. Peace

You're Not Alone simply has no idea what it wants to be. It's a senseless mix of a family drama, supernatural thriller and even a bit of a slasher. Ultimately none of it ever achieves the climax. Occasionally good actress Katia Winter is painful to watch as a main protagonist even compared to her screen daughter portrayed by Leya Catlett. The script is plain awful in every single - did Andrew Wong ever realized he wrote a character with the single line 'Mrs. Nibbles!' that is repeated like 15 time? And the sound editing is perhaps one of the worst ones ever. Extremely cheap and bland nonsense.

That's what this film is, nothing more, nothing less. The final twist (I won't reveal it) has nothing to do with what has been narrated for more than 75 minutes and on top of that it is left without explanation, because some people believe that open endings are the best, I'm one of those people, but as long as there is a motivation that is not found here.

The development of the characters can be improved, the house, which has its point, is totally wasted and the flashbacks bring nothing but confusion.

Katia Winter's performance is far above the film.

A product that our mind will discard for self-defence.
