Alone
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...the limited expertise of director Bhushan Patel and actress Bipasha Basu - in spite of their many ventures in this genre - allows Alone to deliver only superficial chills.
-
Given the track record that horror genre has in Hindi film industry, 'Alone' is worth laughing with too, but not all horror films can claim to have a more touching twist in the plot.
-
As an audience you're left dumbfounded as to why should you be taken on such an incredulously stupid journey in the first place.
-
...the film gives a few thrills and chills that a horror film does, with its eerie background score and more often the impression of an ambush lurking in the crannies. There are however slip-ups that defy logic and continuity of script.
-
...delivers enough surface-level chills and thrills to please diehard fans of this form of entertainment. But those that expect paranormal thrillers to open the doors to deeper layers of experience will find in this film nothing that could capture their imagination.
-
...with a successful story at hand, Alone could've been a real scare-fest had the makers invested in the script and screenplay writers.
-
Sensual, sexual horror flick let down by b-grade thrills.
-
...its the storyline which is disappointing.
-
The ingredients for a horror film are all there, but ‘Alone’ very quickly becomes a tussle between the scenes that want you to be scared and the sequences where you are supposed to slurp at all the eye candy...
-
This is a below-par film - an unabashed copy, relying on a few lame thrills and the erotica to sail through.
-
...director Bhushan Patel relies on all the usual tropes- from creaking doors and barking dogs to rearranged dolls and creepy reflections - delivering no more than two decent scares in this criminally uninspired film.
-
A weak story balancing on the shoulders of two dull protagonists, even the secondary characters cannot save Alone.
-
...torture in slow-motion.
-
An assault to every sense, director Bhushan Patel tries every trick in the book to make the wafer thin script even remotely terrifying.
-
...another brightfully boring cave-of-horrors ride.
-
Watch the movie, for it is rare to sit through a supernatural thriller laughing all the way!
-
Bipasha Basu, however, has become the Bhai of the horror film genre, minus the box office appeal, of course. You can easily switch scenes between her films and nobody would even know. They all have Bipasha doing exactly the same thing.
-
There seems to be very little logic or sense of direction behind the scenes...
