I saw Die Alone yesterday and I think it's difficult to rate it. I didn't know what to expect so I was pleasantly surprised (which doesn't happen a lot watching zombie movies). I'd give it an 8/10. But if I tell people about my high rating they'd probably expect a lot more from this movie. So maybe a 7/10 would make more sense.
No real review, just some remarks here:
- the film is about a young man, Ethan, who wakes up after a car accident, trying to flee from the zombie apocalypse. He has amnesia. His girlfriend Emma is missing so he wants to find her
- he gets rescued by an older woman, Mae (great part Carrie-Ann Moss), who has been living on her own in the middle of nowhere for a lot of years. He stays with her
- Ethan gets a lot of black outs
- it's a beautifully shot but slow movie. Don't expect loads of zombies
- the zombies are plant based like in The Last of Us
- Frank Grillo only has a small part
- I loved the end of this film
When the end credits roll you'll realize that you've been watching a love story. It's actually The Notebook with zombies. Kudos for director/writer Lowell Dean (WolfCop) for coming up with something original.
