After a quarrelsome conversation, Charlie learns about her grandmother’s passing and goes to look for the necklace she’s gifted her on her mom’s request. In the film’s only dramatically interesting sequence, she takes an emergency video call from her mom ( Barbara Crampton), an overly religious, overbearing woman disapproving of Charlie and unsubtly unaccepting of her sexual orientation. Through sequences that at best add up to a self-indulgent video project, we follow Charlie as she repeatedly FaceTimes with a close friend who seems to be having a great time at a bar, circles her claustrophobic apartment in changing hairdos and outfits, and keeps topping up her booze supply. Don’t say you love me cause you know you’re gonna love me and leave. Don’t slip your hand under my shirt and tell me it’s okay. Don’t put your lips up to my mouth and tell me you can’t stay. The filmmakers aren’t exactly restrained about that fact that Charlie doesn’t quite have a sound handle on time. Got me out on the edge every time you call.
But we know something is off in this picture as soon as she drops a glass of red wine into the bubbly bathtub she’s soaked herself in. Leaving amorous voicemails to her and putting on a silky nightie in preparation for her arrival, Charlie is clearly in love with Simone, an accomplished photographer.

In the 83-minute “Alone with You”-a poor man’s version of “She Dies Tomorrow,” with some David Lynch clumsily mixed in-we are (mostly) alone with Charlie (Bennett), a professional make-up artist waiting for her girlfriend Simone ( Emma Myles) to come home to their small, handsomely decorated Brooklyn apartment.

It doesn’t-the film’s chills and scares are nearly non-existent plot, stretched to the seams, unable to sustain a feature's length and camera work, amateurish. Comment below with facts and trivia about the song and we may include it in our song facts Comments. It would have been one thing if “Alone with You” at least worked as a genre outing on some level. Alone With You was the 14 song in 1958 in the Country charts. Co-writers and co-directors Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks work in the classic camp of the claustrophobic psychological thriller, making good use of NYC’s even more tight feel during quarantine.This is all a long-winded way of saying: the pandemic metaphor movies already feel tired, unless they can come up with something new to say or do something other than hammering on, “it’s lonely and claustrophobic and suffocating in lockdown.” This is bad news for debuting feature writer/directors Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks’ barebones “Alone with You,” a claustrophobia-forward horror-thriller, with a predictable “shot entirely during Covid” written all over it. They delightfully manifest in all those horror trope faves, yet still feel like a ripe pick off the branch. There are past glimpses of visual tension between the two, so we’re led to feel that this meticulous setting of mood may be a peacemaking gesture.Įnamored beyond all good sense, Charlie begins to experience a myriad of unsettling incidents (an unstable voice from a vent, shadows that appear, eerie WiFi disruptions), and the horrors of what has transpired are slowly revealed in the shards of Charlie’s resistant memory. When you’re immersed in piecing together the puzzle and figuring out who the main character is, a film that falls under this category is dynamite.Ĭharlie (Emily Bennett) is setting the atmosphere in her sleek, two-story apartment in Brooklyn for a romantic homecoming for her distant girlfriend Simone (Emma Myles) who’s been away for work.
Almost exclusively, one-setting horror/thrillers are precious gems that do a whole lot with very little.
