Dennis Harvey Variety 04/03/2017
Though there's not a whole lot of plot here, Ebeltoft makes a virtue of writing economy, and director Rod Blackhurt maintains considerable interest as well as a consistent low hum of tension. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 03/30/2017
Given the familiarity of its premise - a handful of survivors brave the aftermath of a deadly, rage-inducing virus - "Here Alone" is unexpectedly engaging. Go to Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 03/30/2017
This is the first act of a better movie, stretched to fill a feature. Go to Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat 04/08/2022
8.5/10
The plot of Here Alone is straightforward, meaning that it is easy to figure out where things are heading. However, the characters are quite realistic, and the setting is perfectly realized. Go to Full Review Erik Childress eFilmCritic.com 05/18/2021
2/5
As the flashbacks are dribbled out right up until the final scenes, we are asked to project ourselves back into behavior and decisions made by Ann as a result of her obvious trauma. The problem is that no such convergence exists. Go to Full Review Jonathan W. Hickman The Newnan Times-Herald 05/15/2021

Mel M. @smell Jan 15 It’s actually a good take on the zombie apocalypse. It’s slow, eerie but it’s a different stroke on survival. See more Scott L. @MrLeRay Jan 5 Not sure why this movie was rated so low. I thought it was a decent apocalyptic film. Sure it was kind of slow but I thought it was worth a watch. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 28 Here Alone teases a gripping survival story, but never finds its footing. The film opens with promise, suggesting isolation will build tension and emotional weight, yet that momentum fades into long stretches of silence that feel empty rather than suspenseful. Instead of drawing us into the characters’ inner lives, the quiet creates distance, making it hard to care about what’s happening. Character development is thin, with motivations unclear and relationships underwritten, so the people on screen feel more like placeholders than real survivors. The screenplay leans too far into restraint, offering little dialogue or narrative drive, leaving the story vague and unfocused. Direction and pacing linger without payoff, and moments that could spark dread or empathy simply drift away. By the end, Here Alone feels less like a haunting meditation on isolation and more like a missed opportunity. It isn’t aggressively bad, just bland and disengaging, and that makes it hard to recommend See more Sean R. @ZeroXero Oct 17 A decent little post-apocalyptic movie. Kept me entertained and very good acting but unexpectedly so. They didn't overact, which is very often the case in these types of movies. See more Emilliano Jr S @emill_santos 10/16/2024 It may be decent, but the slow pacing makes it boring. See more Matthew B @RT77991241 10/08/2024 Decently put together film with a fairly tense atmosphere, but has no real substance... at least not as much as the film would like you to believe. Still, the acting is good and the zombies are somewhat unique / scary. Worth a watch so long as you don't set your expectations too high. See more Read all reviews
