You're Not Alone

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.

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

Don't waste your time, this is at the most a thriller, with some jump scares. If you absolutely love a movie that ends in a huge cliff hanger with a lot of questions to be answered and frankly makes no sense on how it ended go ahead and waste your time.

After watching this 2020 movie "You're Not Alone", I kind of wish that I were alone. This movie was not great, let's not beat around the bush.

I sat down to watch "You're Not Alone" from writer Andrew Wong and director Eduardo Rodriguez because the movie was labeled as a horror movie, and also because the cover/poster for the movie was actually interesting.

Well, turns out that this was more of a thriller than it was a horror movie, so I was somewhat disillusioned with the movie and I felt bereft of a horror experience. I can see that IMDb also has the movie labeled as a thriller and a mystery.

The storyline told in "You're Not Alone" was just rubbish in my opinion. Writer Andrew Wong brought nothing new to the cinema with this 2020 movie. In fact, everything that transpired in this movie had been seen before in other similar movies, so it made for a very stale movie experience, especially since the other - and older - movies fared better than this 2020 movie did.

The acting in the movie was adequate. Well, it was not great, but nor were it all that bad. But taking into consideration the limitation imposed by the lack of a proper script and storyline, then I think the actors and actresses were doing adequately enough. The characters, however, well don't get your hopes up here, because they were bland, uninteresting and just too generic.

In fact, as the movie ended, I was left with an overwhelming sensation of 'was that really it?'. So, I can't really claim to be impressed nor overly entertained by "You're Not Alone".

My rating of this 2020 thriller lands on a mere three out of ten stars. If you enjoy thrillers, give "You're Not Alone" a wide berth, because there are far, far better thrillers readily available out there.

This movie not only had potential, but manages to trick you and trick you and get you closer to the edge of your seat for the biggest of surprises lately seen: NOTHING HAPPENS!

Yet, the execution in the first 2 acts manages to grow on you and gets you into thinking there is a lot more to see here, but you'll have to be patient. Problem is, the last act went straight downhill, with an under mediocre execution, idea, development, disrespectful and annoyingly way to end a movie. It should not have happened but sadly this is all we get.

All in all, the 3rd act has been seen many times before, recently even, but I won't name those movies out because it would completely waste the little effort put into You're Not Alone, so if you do decide to watch it, do so but expect to get frustrated and that alone.

Cheers!
