Film Review – Die Alone

There are zombie movies for every occasion, and writer/director Lowell Dean is taking his shot with “Die Alone,” mixing elements of pandemic life and a depiction of a monstrous threat. Dean is the mastermind behind the “WolfCop” saga, but he sobers up in his latest endeavor, shying away from any kind of silliness. Instead, it’s a dire tale of desperation set in a ruined world, becoming a sort of “Memento”-ish take on memory and confusion, and a little horror is periodically tossed into the mix. “Die Alone” gets a bit too wrapped up in its mystery of clarity, leading to some storytelling inertia, but Dean is generally dedicated to landing his overall idea. There’s a satisfying payoff for all the bewilderment that comes along during the viewing experience, which helps the picture capture emotions and provide answers while the helmer toys with the details of this mixed up sense of reality.
