In Alone (2020), director John Hyams delivers a heart-pounding thriller that mixes elements of psychological horror and survival drama. The film centers on Jessica (played by Jules Willcox), a woman who, after the tragic death of her husband, decides to escape her grief by embarking on a solitary road trip through the wilderness. However, her journey takes a terrifying turn when she is kidnapped by a ruthless and mysterious man, played by Marc Menchaca.

The film builds on a simple but effective premise: a woman trying to outrun her past, only to be confronted with an even darker threat in the form of a psychopath. As she is held captive in a remote forest, Jessica must summon all of her inner strength and resourcefulness to escape her captor and survive the harsh elements.

The narrative of Alone is driven by tension, with suspenseful moments that leave viewers on the edge of their seats. Jessica’s struggle for survival is not just physical but psychological, as she faces not only her captor but the emotional and mental challenges of being alone in a world that seems determined to swallow her whole.
