    * *1/2 out of 4.

    Lone survivor (Anita Skinner) of a plane crash finds herself feeling depressed and unworthy of living. Then she begins to notice dead people lurking about. At first they just stalk her, but soon they are trying to kill her since she was not supposed to survive the crash. Creepy, cold, original thriller is a bit too slow, but still entertaining.

    Rated R; Sexual Situations, Nudity, and Graphic Violence.

    Why Don't More People Talk About This Film?

    If slow paced, intelligent horror films along the lines of Let's Scare Jessica to Death or Carnival of Souls are your speed, you'll find a lot to love in Sole Survivor.

    Predating Final Destination by nearly 20 years, Sole Survivor tells the story of Denise, a TV producer, who ends up being the sole survivor of a plane crash. Soon after, she starts seeing people following her and, well,...I don't want to spoil anything else.

    Sole Survivor is a perfect example of "less is more." Things are never quite clear or explained, which makes the entire film quite mysterious and creepy. Most of the performances are subdued and natural and a large cloud of doom hangs over the entire film. It's impressively creepy, honestly.

    If you're a gore hound or looking for cheap jump scares, Sole Survivor might not be your cup of tea, but those who appreciate a nice slow burn will probably love it.

    A creepy slow-burner that's all the more effective for its simplicity

    Premise: Denise survives an airplane crash, escaping completely unharmed. But as she tries to move on with her life, she begins noticing people are watching her, and hears strange voices calling her name. It soon becomes clear that the unseen spectre of death wants to collect Denise by sending its minions to kill her...

    'Sole Survivor' is a neat little horror film tucked away in the mid-80s that's slipped under the radar. It's slow and creepy, benefiting from Carpenter-esque direction in the way the protagonist is framed in long shots, centred in wide open spaces to augment the isolation and menace, much like the victims in Halloween. This is further evidenced by the cold stares Denise receives from the "minions", who are just standing there at a distance, watching, waiting... sound eerily familiar?

    If I had to be harsh and nitpick, it would be that 'Sole Survivor' peaks with its atmosphere early and doesn't have much ambition to go further. This is fine - there's a moderate intensity sustained throughout as creepy people stand, stare and occasionally pursue the main character. But it also means the film doesn't hit the dread-filled highs that could have made it a classic of the genre. Still, this is well worth a watch, with an ending that's bound to leave a lingering chill.

    7/10.

    Excellent low budget thriller

    This film was very nicely done despite it's budget. The director thoroughly developed each scene so that you knew exactly what was going on.

    I use to watch this film along side of the classic "Carnival Of Souls" with Candice Hillagoss. The difference between the two was that in carnival the lead character was half dead, but in this film the dead were hell bent making the lead character very dead.

    Cudos to Leon in his prelude role to Madonna's "Like A Prayer" video. You really don't know who he is until he opens his mouth. This is where you hear him sounding like his "5 Heartbeats" character JT.

    This is a must see for all true horror fans, and those who still enjoy the late Saturday night "fright night" features.

    8 out of 10 hands down.

    When the creators enrich the habitual distributors over a creative accountancy!!

    It was an independent endeavor lead by Don Barkemeyer, Caren L. Larkey among others producers that have a good reputation on rental VHS on domestic marketplace and overseas as well, sadly the newbies producers sold it almost by the real cost around 300 thousand dollars plus profits raised later, sad mistake such alleged profits were spent in a creative accountancy misleading the own filmmakers for good, on DVD's release they didn't win a dime for it, an absolute crying shame.

    The story is rather compelling if the viewers be aware on low budge production and the unknown casting for instance, in other hand it has a kind of uniqueness on the narrative aside some usual and trivial mismatches over this thematic horror offering also many free-of-charge nude sequences as usually in this genre addressed for teenager audience, let it see easily!!

    Thanks for reading.

    Resume:

    First watch: 2025 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6.5.

      Brian Richardson: Don't take it so hard on yourself. Think about the dress you bought. They didn't charge you for it.

      Denise Watson: Yes, they did. It's those damn computers. They made a mistake. But sooner or later, they'll find you.
