We Are Not Alone

About This Movie

We Are Not Alone, released in 2016, offers a chilling descent into familial dread. Set in a remote house near Lima, it revolves around Mateo, Monica, and their daughter Sofia. The atmosphere is thick with tension from the get-go, with Sofia being haunted by a sinister presence that escalates in intensity. It’s interesting how the film builds its horror through psychological manipulation rather than just jump scares. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, do a good job of enhancing the overall eeriness. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to linger in discomfort. Performances are solid, especially from the child actor, who brings an unsettling authenticity to her terror. This film captures a sense of isolation that can resonate with anyone who’s moved into a new place.
