About Alone

During a sudden outbreak, Aidan seals himself inside his apartment and starts rationing what little food he has. The city outside slides into chaos as a wave of infected known as Screamers stalk the hallways and stairwells. With the building locked down and the outside world deteriorating, he must rely on wit, discipline, and small daily rituals to stay alive. The claustrophobic setting tightens the tension as alarms flicker, power outages crash the building into darkness, and distant noises from neighboring units pull him into a constant state of alert. He weighs contact with others against the danger of letting in the unseen threat. Survival becomes a test of nerve, cunning, and patience rather than sheer numbers.

Directed by Johnny Martin and written by Matt Naylor, Alone presents a tight, low budget thriller built around a single residence and a strong sense of claustrophobic danger. The project leans on practical effects and a focused cast. The film keeps a tight pace to offset its budget.

Box office data for Alone is not publicly disclosed, reflecting its limited theatrical release and a strategy that leaned toward digital platforms. While some markets may have seen it on streaming, no reliable worldwide gross is published to date yet.

There are no widely reported major awards or nominations attached to this title. Critics and audiences who discuss the film tend to focus on its spare atmosphere, sound design, and Tyler Posey in the lead. It remains a modest genre effort rather than a contender for major prizes.

Reception highlights a straightforward survival thriller that leans into confinement and the tension of being cut off from others. The film probes isolation and moral choices under pressure, offering a compact look at how fear shapes decisions when help stays outside the door for the viewer in an apartment drama.
