Reviews

This film. Is not really a horror in the classic sense. Though post covid, I suspect the sense of isolation that many of us felt during those few years may have inspired some aspects of this. I found the opening scenes of this film captivating and a bit puzzling. I never read reviews or synopsis before watching a film, so wasnt expecting the film to evolve the way it did. In my mind the film is about isolation, rejection and a desire to be accepted, forgiven allowed to associate with others again.

I love the transition from this narrative to respite whilst evading aliens around the house, there is something quite heartfelt about this film, and I really can't say it reminds me of anything else.

The score that accompanies the film is subtle and accentuates some of those key moments perfectly.

It wasn't until the third time I watched this that I realized there is only 3 lines of dialogue in the entire film, and I think that for me to have not noticed that really highlights how well made this film is.

Its not your classic horror, but its certainly a unique film that I'd strongly recommend watching if you generally just love good cinema.

Just watch it! I didn't read the synopsis, at first I thought the main character was just a loner awkward around people and so on. Then when he starts scrubbing names out of his book made me think his friends had problems etc. Wasn't till later that I realized he's just the last guy around, thought it revealed that well and if you go into the film blind it's very enjoyable.

I particularly enjoyed the bowling alley scene and I felt that the sound track was well selected and suitable throughout.

Unlike my fellow reviewer above I'm surprised it's rating is 4.3, I think perhaps it's easy to make clones of other films it's much more challenging to make films that arent so "cookie cutter", like this one. Well worth watching imo

I can't help but feel that most of this film is actually a dream (note the truck she is in at the beginning and end are the same, they even reference "do dreams carry on while I'm awake").

The interactions with the ex-boyfriend I enjoyed a great deal the sleepy dialogue, the echoing audio the blurred imagery again feeling like it's a dream.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film if you like something that isn't a cookie cutter clone of 100's of other films would strongly recommend giving this a watch.

Skyler Gisondo, best aspect of this film, really saves it from being fairly irritating, adding a much needed comedy angle (as the rest is just some guy being terrible at relationships with well anyone it seems, and just doing it over and over and over again, until he gets the response he wants, which sounds cute, but really is a tiny bit psychotic). Maybe im being too cynical, I did watch it to the end...so i guess not that bad right? :)
