Review of Not Alone in Here

I liked the film. The film is about a woman who follows a routine every night, and one night she gets home and goes to another room and she hears the front door open and when she goes to the room the door is still open but nobody is there. She locks the door and then goes to investigate her house to see if anyone is there. The story is pretty simple, it is nothing super original but I still found it interesting. I liked how the woman was narrating the story by telling the viewers what was happening and what she was thinking. When the woman eventually realizes something is inside her house she locks herself in her room.

I thought it was clever how she narrated horror cliches about not stepping out of your bed because someone or something could grab you from under the bed. I thought that was a funny tongue-in-cheek dark humour moment. The character seemed to be referencing other horror films that have done that. The writing directing and acting were just okay in my opinion. The only downside to this film is that it was not as creepy as some of David F. Sandbergs other films like Shadowed or Lights Out for example. This one had a lighter tone with fewer sound effects and less music and scares. It did have a couple of suspenseful scenes but this film focussed more on the fear of the unknown because the viewers don't see what is in the house. That aspect of the film is what made it a little creepy. Overall the film was okay and it's worth a watch.
