Alone (V) (2020)
7/10
solid woman-in-peril

Warning: Spoilers
Jessica (Jules Willcox) loads up her U-haul and heads for the open roads. She lost her husband and continues to be haunted. She's leaving the city and her life behind. She keeps encountering a man (Marc Menchaca) driving an SUV. She's suspicious and indeed, he is stalking her.

This could have been more exploitative. He tells her to get undress but she never does. It's still not far away from its B-movie sensibilities. Her escape is too easy. That trick is so commonly used that it has become a trope. Also it's too convenient for the man to search for Jessica in exactly the right direction. Now if she had screamed before then, it would make much more sense. All in all, this is a fine woman-in-peril movie. The river swim actually looks dangerous. The water looks very rough. Most of this works well.
