Alone

Fans of survival horror and zombie horror will enjoy Alone and possibly relate to surviving and coping through a pandemic.

With Final Days riddled in cliches and stereotypes it is hard to believe that it stems from the same source material as the vastly superior #Alive.

A toothless American version of a film that itself is no more than mildly diverting, Final Days is likely to come and go largely unnoticed.

[Alone] with its contemporary vibe, resonates; a life-changing virus is familiar territory, and Posey - Teen Wolf! - and Sutherland are working it, but a zombie film is just a zombie film, with a pandemic nod.

The effects are pretty mediocre, the zombies aren't as scary as they could be, and the love story leaves a lot to be desired.

#Alive is a much better interpretation of the same story. It's hard to like a zombie movie that won't show human survivors as well-rounded people ... Viewers still won't know much about the main characters by the end of the movie.

...an entertaining genre picture that compassionately addresses the inescapable melancholy we've birthed in self-isolation.

We've been here before, and often. It's familiar territory trod reasonably well but, except for Sutherland's turn, without any particular distinction.

"Alone" isn't a sustained nail-biter, but it eventually finds its groove, locking into scenes of despair, pursuit, and the comfort of strangers.
