Review of Alone (2020) by Lambo442 — 14 Oct 2020

Ok this is a pretty entertaining movie with some nice cinematography and good suspense but as with a lot of films it falls down due to the characters making unrealistic choices. They are as follows:

-She chooses to call the police much later than you would do in reality. He blatantly stalks her for ages but she doesn't do the logical thing until its too late. Makes even less sense as he looks like a textbook serial killer.

-If you were a serial killer you wouldn't risk exposing yourself so early on and being reported or avoided. You would just go straight to slashing her tires like he finally does.

-She doesn't ask for the help of the people around her at some of the truck stops when she's freaking out, as he's pulling up.

-when she realised her tires are slashed and sees a car coming she doesn't just bolt into the woods and avoid him. She waits in her car to be abducted.

-He locks her up and gives her a chance to escape whereas in reality a real psycho would just rape and kill you ASAP. -she doesn't keep using the current of the river to gain more distance from him. She gets out of the water too early.

-The guy who helps her would have just shot the psycho a lot sooner and not be drawn in by it. -She would not have climbed in his car without knowing if the keys were in there or not.

-She wouldn't have hid in the back of his car and attempted to kill him. -She wouldn't have entered a clearing of burnt out forest and exposed herself.

-when he's being attacked by her he continues to drive instead of stop and free up his hands. It's also unbelievable that he kept managing to find her in the forest, also that the helicopter would have spotted them all covered in mud near the end. Aside from all this, I liked it. It had a cool retro feel about it.
