Die Alone

Moss has one of cinema’s great poker faces, an impenetrability enhanced by those spectacularly sculpted cheekbones, so she’s well cast here as an enigma wrapped in a tattered parka.

Not quite a game-changer, but certainly a refreshing detour in a well-trodden landscape, Die Alone is a zombie thriller with a heart – albeit a heart overgrown with creeping vines. Well worth a watch.

Writer-director Lowell Dean is an auteur with an eye for the twisted and macabre, and Die Alone mixes moments of explosive and bloody violence with periods of reflective restraint.

A better-than-average zombie apocalypse movie.

Zombie movies are generally a dime-a-dozen, but this one—which focuses more on ideas than gory kills—offers just enough interesting new angles to make it worth a look for horror hounds.

“Die Alone” is a different kind of zombie movie. Yes, it proudly embraces a number of familiar horror sub-genre tropes. But it puts its own spin on them resulting in a surprisingly fresh and creative feature.

This isn't the scariest zombie movie you'll ever see, and the second act begins to drag as it readies itself for the finale, but if you want a highly original one that makes you feel, Die Alone is flesh worth sinking your teeth into.

The plant-based zombies are impressive creations, but the excessively somber story is a slog as it meanders toward a fairly obvious twist.

[T]here's not much for the material to do with its intentionally evasive method of storytelling.

Well-crafted and acted, the film is worth staying with. Yet despite the superficial novelty of the plant angle, it doesn’t stray far enough from zombie-flick conventions to make a truly memorable impression.
