Better Alone

About This Movie

So, 'Better Alone' is an intriguing mix of mystery and sci-fi that really leans into its atmospheric elements. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, which might throw some viewers off, but I found it added to the overall tension. The film dives into themes of isolation and the unknown, exploring how technology can both connect and alienate us. There's something about the practical effects that feels refreshingly raw compared to today's CGI-heavy offerings. The performances? They vary, but the lead does a solid job of capturing that sense of unease. It’s distinctive in how it plays with silence and shadows, leaving you with more questions than answers, which I think might be its greatest strength.
