Review of Alone

Alone (XXI) (2020)
5/10
The Koreans did it better
5 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this one under the title FINAL DAYS, and it immediately seemed very familiar given that I'd previously watched the Korean movie #ALIVE. Turns out both are based on the same script, so technically one isn't a remake of the other. In any case, the Korean film is inevitably far better: the cast is better (with the exception of Donald Sutherland, the one stand-out here), the direction much improved, and it has oodles more suspense and genuine fear in the zombie scenes. This one has a solid plot but it feels more like a B-movie and the main character isn't particulaly likeable, making it hard to care about his plight.
