A Legit Fear-Inducing Film Ruined by Its Climax
The strongest asset of Alone for me is the casts' acting. Even though I'm not Thai and don't know about their dialect's inflection, the body language and facial expressions of the casts are top-notch and comparable to some of the best horror movies to date. Another strong suit of the film is the legitimately scary ghosts which looks so creepy that I wanted to commend the brilliancy of the costume designers and make-up artists of this film. I'm not the one who is easy to scare but some sequences of the film really give me some chills, attributed to the petrifying faces of the ghosts there.
Inside the movie itself, I like that there are some drama and decent romance sprinkled in the plot which strengthen the impact of the horror sequences to make it not too much saturated.
Unfortunately, even though the plot twist at the end looks nice, it doesn't really pay off well for me as it lacks adequate foreshadowing in the earlier parts of the story; thus, turning it only as an added shock value rather than a successful and effective revelation.
Lastly, the final part of the film to me (the climax) seems out of place. The writers completely abandoned the jump scares and other supernatural aspects that we experience in the first 3 quarters of the film; trading it for a mediocre and floppy action sequences between the 2 main characters during the climax. Fear-inducing jump scares are the best part of this film, why not stick to it throughout the climax?
So to sum up, Alone thrives through the strong acting of the casts as well as its horror sequences. Unfortunately, they didn't stick to that horror niche to the very end, plus coupled with an unpolished revelation costed the film a good chance of being hailed as one of the best out there.
