This filmmaking duo proved that you don’t need an entire crew to make a feature film.
Being isolated in your own home takes on a whole new meaning and relevance in our post-pandemic world. Writer/directors Emily Bennett’s and Justin Brooks’ barebones Alone With You is a claustrophobia-forward horror-thriller that wastes no time diving into the maddening isolation of a person stuck inside.
Although the film was made during the pandemic, Alone With You isn’t a pandemic story. Instead, the film focuses on Charlie (Bennett) and her desperate attempt to hold on to her sanity and her deteriorating relationships with her partner, Simone (Emma Myles), and her mother (Barbara Crampton). As the apartment closes in on Charlie, strange voices, shadows, and hallucinations begin to reveal a truth that she has been unwilling to face.
