What's Good: The use of all possible creepy elements such as wooden doors that make noises, swing and an overall horrific location. Interestingly, Bhushan Patel manages to infuse a good amount of suspense in the film and stretches it to the very climax even though one starts getting the hints quite early on. The visual effects are quite decent and it seems Patel is getting the hang of it with every film.
What's Bad: Well, I would say a wrong timing of intimate scenes that nearly breaks the link of a 'could have been' gripping tale. Also the spine chilling moments don't come very often and more often than not it is the background score that gives away what's coming, thus leaving you all ready for the scene.
Watch or Not?: Alone is once again not an out and out horror film and so it won't satiate your scary needs or give you nightmares. If you are a fan of Bollywood's horror films then this one is worth your watch. Don't even think of comparing it to its original Thai film by the same name, because I couldn't watch that one without closing my eyes every two seconds. Alone is a decent weekend watch if you have nothing else to do.
