I Think We're Alone Now

So everyone is dead for unknown reasons save a guy who hangs out in the library. Now... where have we seen that before?

Anyway, they clearly spent their money on the cast. It is a small film, with a small cast, and a small budget but it is done exceptionally well given what it is, but there is some actual power behind it.

There are also a lot of miles to burn, and it's slow moving. However, it is a great story for the most part, until the end, where they had to do something to make for a climax and it veered away from the reclusive loneliness that was fine with the world ending...

...And that is where it probably lost a lot of people, but, again, they had to do something to make for an ending, otherwise it would dangle for an etern...

I did enjoy 'I Think Were Alone Now' enough, but it does feel like they only scratched the surface of the plot.

There's a lot of build-up, but not much reward. I still got enough from it, but I can understand the seemingly lukewarm reaction to this 2018 release. Away from that, I knew I'd get a strong performance from Peter Dinklage and he didn't let me down. Elle Fanning, meanwhile, is solid behind/alongside him.

The film sets the ambience well throughout, especially at the beginning, and everything onscreen is shot pleasantly. I did find some of the music, albeit all good, out of place/overly loud in moments. Elsewhere, I personally found the run time to be finely chosen, I just think they could've utilized the 95 or so minutes better.
