Everything in Alone, a 2020 horror thriller film directed by John Hyams, is something we’ve seen many times before. A woman becomes trapped in the wilderness or isolated area with only the harsh elements, wild animals, and a serial killer for company. Films like Rust Creek, P2, Unhinged, and The Hitcher offer similar premises. Despite this, I enjoyed Alone and think it’s one of the stronger entries in the genre.
Alone follows a widow named Jessica, played by Jules Willcox (Dreamkatcher, Servant) as she begins a road trip through Oregon to cope with the recent suicide of her husband. Her road trip turns into a sinister nightmare when a serial killer sets his sights on Jessica and forces her into a game deadly game of cat-and-mouse.
