Alone With Her is a pretty engaging tale, and it's refreshing to see a well-acted, suspenseful drama made without a bloated budget or a lot of bloodletting.
Alone With Her plays like an extended voyeur video with nothing new to say about hidden cameras or stalkers or anything.
Even a conventional, albeit cynical, ending can't ruin such effective mood-making.
... this low-budget horror flick builds some claustrophobic tension out of modern anxieties, but it won't scare the bejesus out of you.
Leadenly scripted and blandly overliteral and therefore never capitalizes on the provocativeness of its premise.
Alone With Her has the kind of high ick factor that leaves you squirming -- not because Doug is so diabolical a creation, but because what he does to satisfy his pathology is so practical.
What sets the film a notch above standard genre fare is its ability to ask bigger questions about a stalker like Doug.
A neatly insinuating idea, flawlessly executed, Alone With Her marks out its stars and director as ones to watch.
A smart, unsettling drama that finds new uses for tatics devised by movies like The Stepfather and The Blair Witch Project.
A novel spin on an oft-told tale, Alone with Her is a fine little indie indeed. What could have been just another gimmick flick turns out to be a pretty intense ride.
The moral of the story: If you meet someone whose tastes mirror your own to a scary degree, then by all means, be scared.
Despite its cleverness, however, nearly everything is predictable; in a sense, this is a higher-tech version of The Collector, and it doesn't really take us anywhere we haven't been many times before.
There is something really creepy, scary and uncomfortably appealing in the way this effective indie thriller forces us to share its character's taste for voyeurism, and it could have been even better had it avoided those clichés and contrivances that come up in the last half hour.
Super Reviewer
"Anytime. Anywhere. He's watching." In Los Angeles, the psychopath Doug stalks the sexy Latin woman Amy is a park and follows her.
Stalker thriller where we are shoved right into the stalker's perspective. Shot entirely through secret cameras this is similar to other "real" films such as Blair Witch and Cloverfield. Hanks does well in the lead, but is also too recognisable to have the desired affect. He's pleasant, creepy and sympathetic. Many of his plans work surprisingly well, which sometimes destroys the illusion. Though Amy is supposedly a naive and vulnerable soul, so it does make sense most of the time. The film checks all the boxes for any thriller and the only real difference is how it's filmed. Well made and engrossing for it's 78 minutes.
Creepy little movie that will make you think twice about that nice guy you just met at the coffee shop. Especially if he seems a little "off". Doug (Colin Hanks) secretly installs cameras all over the house so he can watch Amy (Ana Claudia Talancon) as she goes about her day (and night). I thought the exclusive use of surveillance cameras brilliant as it added to the sleaze quotient. Not a lot of surprises as one can easily guess what's coming, but still well enough done that it manages to keep the tension level high throughout. May cause single women living alone to rethink their living arrangements. Watch the alternate ending (in the extras) so you can sleep easier.
