ThiefHott Too much of everything

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Yiorgos Halkos * NO SPOILERS AHEAD *In general: "Alone" is a movie you won't remember after a month or so, but that doesn't make it an awful movie..After watching the whole movie, I got the same feeling I had with the "9th gate": The movie needed 10 more minutes of plot unraveling, to explain/conclude some things. It seemed as if the producer run out of funds and had to finish the film in a hurry.That left apart, the movie contains some very nicely done camera tricks (first person perspective, memory flashbacks etc), an interesting -yet not that genuine- background of Alex (the main character), and some nice acting.Concluding: The camera tricks are not groundbreaking, as the ones in "Matrix". The plot is not even close to "Seven". No Oscar was nominated for acting in this film. Compared to some 5-star films, "Alone" is not much to look at. It surely is not one of the best films I've seen, but not a bad film either. 6/10 for me: slightly above average. Worth watching it on TV or renting it for 1,5 euros, but nothing more.

elvaago ***This review WILL contain spoilers***Well, I for one liked this movie. British movies are just not cut out for people who drool over Hollywood crap like Troy and Harry Potter. They often expect the viewer to be able to think and to fill in the blanks, which I appreciate. Especially the ending is quite good.Brief summary: Mental patient desperately seeks female companionship, but it usually goes wrong and he ends up killing them instead.A duo of cops, one old and male, one young and female, try to find out what's going on and finally there's a showdown.What I found interesting about this movie is that we never actually see the killer and more mysterious, even, we never even find out the gender until the very last second of the movie. I personally thought the killer was a guy, but in the last scene he suddenly has boobs? Is it female? Male transsexual? In any case, it's a very confused and abused individual.Sure there's ripoffs from here to Tokio and back, most notably from Seven and Silence of the Lambs, but name me one movie that's been made in the past 20 years that isn't at least a partial ripoff of a book, other movie, TV show or what have you and I'll re-vote this movie lower. :-)Worth watching, nothing spectacular, but solid thriller, is my opinion. 7 out of 10.

Jens While the cover art of the DVD lures you into the illusion that this is a "Scream" style horror flick (the cover is almost identical), the first thing to say about this movie is that it is so quintessential english, it could have been shot on the set of "Eastenders". Don't get me wrong, their are a lot of great movies coming from England, but their attempts of making a good thriller or horror film are often quite deplorable. The quality of the sound is surprisingly good, compared to shabby camera work, which is probably the reason for the tag line "Hear the fear". Miriam Margolyes is usually one of my favorite actresses, but here her OTT approach to her role is not in tune with the rest cast. Imagine Mr. Bean showing up in a "Halloween" movie! After we watch the psychotic killer do some of his very predictable deeds, the movie ends abruptly, not revealing the killer's identity, leaving us in doubt about the fate of his last victim and not giving us any clues about his motives. So why bother watching it all?

errorist This flick is definitely worth watching. It's not like the average thriller. Superb camerawork, good sober atmosphere. The end is a bit unsatisfying though, it leaves one behind with a lot of questions. But it's probably meant to be like this. 7 out of 10.
