Alone (2020)
Jules Willcox (10,000 Days) stars in thriller movie Alone as a recently widowed traveller who is pursued through the wilderness by a ruthless killer.
The gripping survival thriller holds a 90% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics consensus says, “Alone’s minimalistic approach makes this heightened thriller a gripping and suspenseful experience,” while AV Club praises the film’s “already stripped-down cat-and-mouse scenario that becomes dirtier and more elemental as it goes along, tracing a devolutionary arc from the rules of the road to primeval combat.”
