As I head into September, it is nice to be able to kick back
and check out some of the interesting movies that are coming out from the indie
circuit. It is a good thing too, and much of Hollywood is more concerned about
reboots or sequels to take a risk on something original. One movie that is
definitely a different take is the 2014 slasher, You Are Not Alone?
Plot/ Natalie is a college graduate visiting her hometown
over the 4th of July. The night she arrives, a sociopathic killer stalks her.
This is a movie that will cause arguments and disagreements
among the viewers because of the different approach it takes with the filmmaking.
A complete POV, there are some interesting elements viewing things from a potential
victims perspective. Of course, this also leaves some elements outside the
visual spectrum of the character and there are some missing moments that could
make it even better. This one starts slow and ramps up throughout with the
atmosphere building along with the action. Yes, it could have been a touch
shorter (especially toward the beginning where the pace is slower), but other
than that, it is an interesting and solid entry into the slasher genre. In the
end, viewers will either love or hate it (like with many horror films), but if
you like movies with a different perspective and can handle a show burn, give
it a shot!
