#Demolition to be alone with you movie#

The filmmakers aren’t exactly restrained about that fact that Charlie doesn’t quite have a sound handle on time. But we know something is off in this picture as soon as she drops a glass of red wine into the bubbly bathtub she’s soaked herself in.

Leaving amorous voicemails to her and putting on a silky nightie in preparation for her arrival, Charlie is clearly in love with Simone, an accomplished photographer. In the 83-minute “Alone with You”-a poor man’s version of “She Dies Tomorrow,” with some David Lynch clumsily mixed in-we are (mostly) alone with Charlie (Bennett), a professional make-up artist waiting for her girlfriend Simone ( Emma Myles) to come home to their small, handsomely decorated Brooklyn apartment.

There could’ve perhaps been a zippy little short here, who knows? But that’s not the movie we get.

It doesn’t-the film’s chills and scares are nearly non-existent plot, stretched to the seams, unable to sustain a feature's length and camera work, amateurish. It would have been one thing if “Alone with You” at least worked as a genre outing on some level. This is all a long-winded way of saying: the pandemic metaphor movies already feel tired, unless they can come up with something new to say or do something other than hammering on, “it’s lonely and claustrophobic and suffocating in lockdown.” This is bad news for debuting feature writer/directors Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks’ barebones “Alone with You,” a claustrophobia-forward horror-thriller, with a predictable “shot entirely during Covid” written all over it.
