ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

matt-sickle It is well filmed and acted. Overall I like the direction and pacing. It is a slow one so not for everyone. The one thing that held me back is that I thought The Survivalist did the survival side of things a lot better.However this is still very nicely done and I would recommend.

lora-jen I was really hopeful for this movie, a zombie flick with a big emphasis on survival. This movie however, more so hiding out and depressing flash backs rather than storyline or action or explanation as to how what happened happened. A great reminder to, if in this situation, think with logic, not with emotion and guilt. The unlikeable leading lady makes a huge,stupid decision which is the endings twist. Not great for survival at all. Not happy Jan. Basically a slow moving movie, you think there will be quite a few more exciting moments than there is, so its a let down.

Bodo What a little gem! HERE ALONE follows a woman who's trying to survive alone in the woods. She soon finds company, with a man and his daughter joining her camp. Unfortunately, not everybody gets along...HERE ALONE is a zombie movie with very few zombies. But in essence, it is what the genre was always about: The plight of people in extreme situations. The movie focuses much on the interactions of its characters, not so much on the violence. HERE ALONE is calm, slow, and ultimately very strong on the emotional front.Besides the good acting, I have to point out the beautiful cinematography and camera work (great use of depth of field, beautiful landscape shots). But most importantly, the superb directing: The first few scenes are almost entirely told with images, little mini stories unfolding entirely through the actions of characters rather than through dialogue. Just when this may become boring, things change— the plot pacing is perfect, if you're in for a zombie movie that takes its time... If you're in for a violent gore flick, give this one a miss.

Saulo Sampaio I am really impressed with what "Here Alone(2016)" delivered. It was a really interesting film that started great but had a terrible third act.At the beginning of the film you can already notice how the shots, colors, and score really build an intense atmosphere, really amplifying the loneliness of our protagonist (Ann). The first act is mainly presented as a sequence of moments showing Ann's survival habits. They are organized and shot in a really effective way, that's reflected on the great photography this film has.So, overall, seems like a good film. But here are some really misses made by the creators. Some minor problems were there like the bad connections on some "action" moments, like when Olivia is being chased apparently by distance by a Zombie that instantly is cut already having her down struggling to leave its grip.But besides those minor mistakes here and there, what really killed it for me was the 3rd act.Since Olivia and her stepdad (Chirs) were rescued by Ann, we start seeing a shady relationship between them, reflected on the way Olivia envies Ann after Chris starts to fall in love with the protagonist. That envy leads to the 3rd act, Olivia knocks Ann out, ties her up and scream to get the attention of the zombies telling them where lunch time is. That was all a big writing flaw for me. First of all because we can't clearly see through that relationship between Olivia and Chris. We can't tell if it is some "dad and daughter" thing or something sexual, even with the scene coming to the 3rd act when Olivia seems to be undressing to seduce (????) her stepdad. The reason for the envy is not clear and kills the whole story. Then it all comes to the dilemma at the end... last round on the gun...both Chris and Olivia (Mrs Hormones teen) are being attacked...whose zombie to shoot. That as a weird attempt to make a "vengeance or not" situation. Which honestly didn't seem like a dilemma at all. How it was seen in shot, saving Chris was simply logical, since he could try himself to save Olivia with his butcher knife. But Ann chose the girl (suggested as a way to "forgive herself" for what she did with her daughter). I can't see how the writer wanted that to be the ending for the dilemma and the film, since at that moment that situation is not on focus, yet the b**ch move by Olivia.Also, as an ending thought, IF Olivia and Chris relationship was sorta dad and daughter, wouldn't it be too much "normal life" problems to care that he's in love with another woman? I mean, it's a survival situation. MANY films forget that characters should not behave in an apocalypse the same way they behave on every day life...that's why we watch the film.
