You're Not Alone

I resent that anyone put up funds to make this stinker. You need to look no further than the opening scene where they have an actress who is at least 10 years older than she is supposed to be portraying. She keeps answering her phone even though she knows it is a prank caller. It even showed on her phone that the incoming caller's phone number was blocked yet she still continues to answer it. Then she goes downstairs and unlocks the front door and goes outside. If she was frightened she would invite an intruder in by unlocking the front door. Stop pushing garbage, go back to film school and leave filmmaking to the pros.

I only watched this because it had such a high rating on here, what let down. Makes me wonder who Tubi paid for that service. Absolutely predictable from start to finish. The whole premise is a Scream ripoff but ESPECIALLY the opening scene. All the women sound like Kardashians, complete with vocal fry. I should have stoped when I saw someone running upstairs when they had a clear run to the front door. Nothing redeemable in the entire movie. Even the ending with a twist was something I figured they would throw in from the jump. Total waste of time. Not one single original thought to be found.

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.

I have no idea why I finished watching this, but I'm glad I did because it really did get worse at the end, which seemed pretty impossible. The acting was just horrible. The only thing worse was the stilted, cliched dialog. It was like the actors were reading cue cards of a script they hadn't read before too, with the same measured talking. And then when we get to what should have been the last scene, we're thrown what the writer thinks is a plot twist. But what it really does is rewrite the whole movie in 5 minutes, even down to reshooting the last scene with new dialog. Just dreadful. From acting to directing and writing, this movie has no redeeming qualities. Even the soundtrack is awful and doesn't support the scenes at all. It doesn't even qualify as so bad, it's good. It's just bad.

So some of you hated it.

Academy award winner? No. Far from it. But here's a tidbit for the haters: It's a m-o-v-I-e.

A few gaps here and there, several facepalms, a head slap or two accompanied by the occasional groan. But still entertaining enough.

As far as we were concerned, we did t have any problems with and watched, as was our prerogative , the entire movie. Sometimes you just want to sit and chill, relax, have a snack, and watch a flick. Watching the agony of a major player as he watches what's going on helplessly at 30,000 feet is pretty intense. And what really hits home is that with our technology nowadays, his predicament is believable.
