You're Not Alone

Sorry but this might be the worst movie ever made. I actually can't believe I sat through it all-well, if you consider playing Call of Duty and eating snacks at the same time.

The acting was horrendous, and it was obviously backed by the poor writing from Marques Houston. The story was so ridiculous that I don't even want to describe what happened.

The only thing good was the smoking hot stewardess on the airplane, which Michael Jai wound up .... Smh, never mind.

Actually, I wouldn't say the acting was bad-the cast did alright. It's just that when the story is written like a high school play, it just doesn't work. You don't feel invested.

I'm done writing. This movie .. it just ... yes, it belonged on Tubi. I wonder if it had a premiere? That must have been a funny night seeing all the reactions. LMAO.

If your would like to read the recipe for this disaster,

Casserole Recipe: (Equal parts) Bad acting Bad plot Bad writing Bad lighting Bad camera shots

Preheat oven to 375° Mix equal parts of each ingredient.

Add a dash of stupid thriller cliches (to taste) Place in a baking dish.

Grease your with cheesy lines.

Equally spread mixed ingredients baking dish.

Save remaining ingredients to sprinkle on top at the end.

Place baking dish in the center rack.

Let this movie cook for, no longer than, 1.5 hours or however long you can wait.

Experts say to let it cook for 10-15 minutes.

I recommend not baking it at all.

BUT, besides the bad acting, it makes me wonder if the writer has ever experienced a home invasion. People who have been broken into before would act much differently unless they had serious blinders on.

And if I were the dad-character, I'd sue that plane company.

Past that though, this is not an energetic-thriller. The characters are all stupid (except the boyfriend. He was cool.) And the ending could've been done much better. But it's a good movie for facepalming the character's decisions and wondering why the killer hasn't fallen asleep somewhere yet. I still enjoyed it.

I'd still recommend giving it a try if you are someone who likes trying 3-star movies. It's a good 3-star.

The opening scene is very reminiscent of the original Scream. Not original at all. Acting, so far, is bad. Lol. I will give it a shot though because I am glutton for bad movie punishment. Bored on a Sunday so why not waste it watching a subpar Scream ripoff? Apparently you have to write a basic essay for your review to post. I still have 261 characters to go. 1234567890987654321 this is absoulutely ludicrous. Six hundred characters!?!? What in the actual glutton of punishment did I sign up for. Did I mention terrible acting? Or that they ripped this plot off of another movie? Oh, I did? Sorry.

How can an experienced filmmaker Chris Stokes with over 40 directorial credits and almost as many writing and producing credits come up with such nonsense... aren't you supposed to get better the more films you make instead of worse? Aside from the obvious Scream rip-off, adding a predictable and infantile 5-minute twist at the end doesn't justify wasting viewers time with this mess.

Stokes also seems he hasn't learned how to direct his cast properly, because aside from MJW (who was the only draw to see this mess) who can carry his own without cast direction, every other actor seemed like this was their first acting job. And if you want to see this film because of MJW, trust me, you will see zero of his martial arts skills, he was only cast to draw an audience, that like myself, will be very disappointed.

Aside from MJW, all casting and performances were amateur hour. The story was riddled with plot and technical issues, and aside from being cliched, you will get more eyerolls and cringe with the laughable dialogue and nonsense screenplay. Even at a normally comfortable 85 min runtime, this film dragged on and felt never-ending with it's sappy dialogue, terrible acting, and cringeworthy story. Even the pin-hole camera shots were more annoying than effective. There's nothing redeemable about this mess, and I can go on and on how bad this was, but I've already wasted enough time watching this mess so you don't have to, so enough said. It's a generous 2/10 all going to MJW who was miscast and underutilized. My tittle says it all.
