Review of Alone With Her (2006) by John K — 23 Jul 2011
Alone with Her is a first-hand look into the life of a stalker - fully equipped with all of the "widely available" digital spy stuff from the internet. Doug (Tom Hanks' brother Colin) singles out young Latina Amy (Talancon), and starts to follow her every move.
As the audience we are given a direct window into all of the hidden camera footage - nicely edited for our convenience. The two leads are really what makes this sucker tolerable, because it would be boring and weak without their performances.
One has to hand it to first-time writer / director Eric Nicholas - he came up with an inventive (and economical) way to tell a somewhat typical and derivative story. Alone with Her is so real and natural that one can believe this stuff actually happens.
That guy Doug actually exists somewhere, and he's not an easy guy to like. For that reason, it's actually a bit unsettling to watch this at times so, mission accomplished I guess...
