Ann has survived the zombie apocalypse using skills learned from her now dead husband. When she encounters two strangers however, her skills with people are what is tested.
Lucy Walters (Ann), Gina Piersanti (Olivia), Adam Thompson (Chris), Shane West (Jason).
Here Alone begins slowly and other than a few short bursts, remains slow pretty much up to the end. Surviving the zombies using skills her dead husband taught her at the beginning of the outbreak, Ann is surviving but also suffering mentally from the death of her daughter. Add two other survivors, a sudden romance, and the zombies are the last of Ann's problems.
Acting was pretty bland in this one but then again, the entire film was bland. Walters sold her role fairly well and delivered consistently. Piersanti felt a bit out of place. Thompson was interesting for a few minutes, while West and the rest were flat.
Camera work was decent but the washed out look with post-apocalyptic films is becoming tedious. Effects were decent with both zombies and make-up. Dialogue was dry and lacked life. Sound was decent while the soundtrack was ridiculously depressing.
Here Alone is proof that even in the midst of the zombie apocalypse there will be quiet days when we can return to the old ways and focus on personal drama rather than staying alive.
Some mild nudity, a fair amount of foul language, zombies, and boredom in this one so save it for teens you truly dislike and above.
