Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Low budget filmmakers really like the horror genre, because it often doesn't take a lot of money to satisfy horror movie audiences, who are frequently forgiving of low production values. Actually, while "Here Alone" was made on a VERY low budget, since it takes place almost entirely in the wilderness, it doesn't look cheap at all. It's also directed in a surprisingly low key fashion that often gives the movie a haunting and bleak feeling, which is appropriate for an apocalypse horror movie. But eventually this low key direction kind of backfires on the movie, because the movie moves along so slowly, with very little happening, that eventually the viewer will be yelling at the movie to simply get on with it. And while the movie is technically a zombie apocalypse movie, those expecting a lot of zombies and gore will be very disappointed. Believe it or not, more than two-thirds of the movie goes by before we get our first (good) look at a zombie! While the movie definitely isn't for the blood and guts kind of horror fan, patient viewers who want to see a different treatment of the zombie apocalypse genre may find the movie has rewards. This is definitely a movie that is a matter of taste.

Literally nothing is happening in this movie. Slow and terribly boring. Basically it's people camping and sitting around. Nothing happens. After almost 60 minutes I decided that I had wasted already enough of my life and decided to stop it. You hope it's interesting for the first 10 minutes and then it's just endless boredom and nothingness.Avoid.

Truly awful movie in almost every way. Cannot believe the number of good reviews on here and daring to compare it to a brilliant series like the Walking Dead.Her husband was a survivalist or knew a bit about the outdoors - if you do you know that its imperative to never get cut or injured in any way yet away she goes slicing herself up with a rusty knife covered in excrement and urine - yeah right!She lives in a tent in the woods with Zombos all around when there are houses she could have barricaded and used as a proper base like Charlton Heston did in Omega Man.No one in this seems to do anything realistic - like walking down roads with zombos all around - you would take the least travelled route! If you are going to write a Zombo flick then think and use yer noodle!Logic goes out the window but then its a female character so are we supposed to make allowances - no i don't think so.Terrible acting with pregnant pauses and meaningful looks and silences - lol HogwashYou can tell when they meet that there is going to be the obligatory bonking scene to slow the lugubrious pace down even more...sigh!!!I can hear the pontificating reviewers bleating on about how meaningful and better than multi million pound highest grossing series like the Walking Dead or even the brilliant Z-Nation this student first year film effort is - give us a break and go read some more Tolstoy and Chekov and leave us alone, please!Pure hogwash riding on the back of The Walking Dead. Nothing more , a lot less!

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".
