Alone
Aiden (Tyler Posey) finds himself barricaded in his apartment due to a global pandemic in fear of being infected by this mystery virus. Sounds like COVID but it is actually just a zombie apocalypse. After 42 days of isolation, water has been shut off, electricity is out, attempts to leave his place was unsuccessful, & despair has set in. As he is about to commit suicide, he spots another survivor, Eva (Summer Spiro), across the street also trapped in her apartment. This gives him hope & they bond from afar & try to save each other. The twitchy undead are terrifying creatures that scream, can move fast, & seem to be lurking around every corner & hallway. This intense horror show has some twists & turns. Aiden’s trusty Louisville slugger is his main weapon of defense. Donald Sutherland is among the supporting cast. Could Aiden & Eva be the lone survivors to repopulate the earth à la Adam & Eve? Or will they too turn cannibalistic?
Alien gives it 3 “stay alive, be safe” stars out of 4.
