GL84 Living alone in the wilderness, a survivalist looking for shelter to continue living in the middle of a zombie apocalypse finds a pair of travelers attempting to get out of the wilderness alive and finds the courage within herself to deal with her past traumas in order to help them.This here was quite the bland and generally unappealing effort. Most of the film's problems stem from the fact that this one plays off so much like a minimalist effort for much of it's running time. There's not a whole lot going on here as there's way too much of the first half taken up here with the girl simply out in the wilderness doing nothing. From washing her clothes in the lake to going around gathering wood and other items around the woods and generally laying around trying to pass the time, things start off on such a dull and boring pace that it's incredibly hard to get into just with that level. That carries into the rest of the film as nothing at all happens here even with the introduction of the other characters which bogs this down even further with no action and an utterly dreadful tone even if it did have something interesting happening during that time. The other factor against this is that the localized setting makes it look cheap and low-budget with the type of one-note setting that doesn't really generate much in the way of action or interest for the large part as it consists of nothing but going back and forth in the same general areas that really doesn't offer much going on here at all. With these scenes interspersed by the utterly uninteresting and bland moments of the characters' flashbacks to the past which really make up even more time here that this one never really explains anything at all. It takes so long to even realize that we're in a zombie apocalypse that it doesn't really feel like much of a horror film because of that which is a huge mistaken opportunity. With a lame amount of special effects work here on the so-called zombies and a truly awful twist in the finale that makes this end on a sour note, there's almost nothing of worth here as the technical qualities displayed are all it has going for it.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language, Full Nudity and Violence.

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.

westsideschl Movies filmed or funded out of NY and environs have consistently been of the lowest quality, noncreative, unoriginal and cheap of any location on Earth (well, maybe Mexico & Thailand are in the same ballpark). Support for this film as an example: 1. Virus produces zombies. Mechanism never explained; extent never explained; nothing explained with regards to the "infection". Boringly overdone plot concept anyway. 2. Zombies running, actually sprinting. How if they're dead? Romero, alive or dead, would be aghast. Zombies living in a fenced-in area, and off of what? It was just them; eventually they would need some meat. Even that isn't clear if they're dead. 3. Cinematography was mostly poor quality - view of lake, nondescript woods and leaves. Occupied half the film. 4. Acting was robotic and consisted mostly of flashbacks to pre-virus days mostly on preparing survival skills for the apocalypse. What forest foods are edible; making a camp, etc. Exciting! 5. Dumb ending, actually not an ending. Just our main protagonist driving away. 6. Kickstarter funding. Does that mean they did it for the money? Can't be for the need for another zombie flick. 7. Coup de grâce - film can't even pass middle school spelling. Cases in point, two subtitled lines: (a.) "the car drove pass" (b.) "the wound oozed puss".
