Episode 203: Die Alone (2024)

Die Alone is a 2024 Canadian horror thriller film written and directed by Lowell Dean. The film stars Carrie-Anne Moss, Douglas Smith, and Frank Grillo. It tells the story of a young man with amnesia who joins forces with a hardened survivalist during a zombie like outbreak, as they set out to find his missing girlfriend. 

And fortunately for us, it is on AMAZON at the moment, so saves me wading through the DVD cesspool I have at the moment.

People have likening it to Memento with the amnesia element, we have seen other movies where the main male character has lost his partner, probably in a car crash and cannot remember what happened. 

90 minutes on the nose too, so easy to get through… 

5.7 on IMDB 75% on RT and 3.1/5 on Letterboxd

It was a bit too slow

A bit too miserable

The twists were good

It was nice to look at, well acted, atmospheric, the creature effects were good, but they were barely used.

Didn’t leave me feeling happy

It felt like a cheap indie Memento meets the Last of Us and Annihilation with someone feeding loved ones, a la Donald Sutherland in Final Days, or Hershal keeping the infected in the barn in the walking dead. With hints of Maggie.

5.5/10 at best, closer to a 5/10
