Alone With Her Reviews
What sets the film a notch above standard genre fare is its ability to ask bigger questions about a stalker like Doug.
| Oct 28, 2008
A neatly insinuating idea, flawlessly executed, Alone With Her marks out its stars and director as ones to watch.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 2, 2008
A smart, unsettling drama that finds new uses for tatics devised by movies like The Stepfather and The Blair Witch Project.

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.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 26, 2007
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.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 24, 2007
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.

This isn't a psychological horror film so much as a slice-of-life twentysomething tale, in which one party happens to be quietly very not-normal.
| Feb 16, 2007
An unsettling tale of modern espionage horror.
Full Review | Feb 12, 2007
Alone with Her has a dog and a rampant sense of dread, the kind you don't recover from for at least a few days. I'm on the first day.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 12, 2007
Alone With Her plays like an extended voyeur video with nothing new to say about hidden cameras or stalkers or anything.
Full Review | Feb 5, 2007
Even a conventional, albeit cynical, ending can't ruin such effective mood-making.
| Original Score: 4/6 | Feb 3, 2007
... this low-budget horror flick builds some claustrophobic tension out of modern anxieties, but it won't scare the bejesus out of you.
| Jan 25, 2007
Leadenly scripted and blandly overliteral and therefore never capitalizes on the provocativeness of its premise.
| Jan 24, 2007
exudes the overall uncomfortable air of watching a depraved home movie
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 20, 2007
Alone With Her is a tense, well-shot little thriller in the vein of 'fatal attraction' youth flicks like Fear, The Crush, and Swimfan.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 19, 2007
Through Hanks' and Talancon's subtle, naturalistic performance [writer-director Eric Nicholas] cultivates a human dimension often missing from thrillers.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 19, 2007
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.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 19, 2007
For all its technological ingenuity, however, the film is ultimately a fairly routine stalker thriller that soon becomes repetitive in its contrivances. And the footage, necessarily shot on digital video, is not particularly easy to watch.

A B-picture waiting to cut loose in its final 15 minutes, when it devolves into generic stalker-thriller theatrics of the Julia-Roberts-in-distress kind.
