In Los Angeles, the psychopath Doug (Colin Hanks) stalks the sexy Latin woman Amy (Ana Claudia Talancón) in a park and follows her. Later he breaks into her apartment and bugs it with surveillance cameras, learning her taste in movies, rock bands and books, and uses the collected information to approach to her in a cafeteria.

Although found footage films are generally annoying and have not been innovative or clever since "The Blair Witch project", this one offers something of a different twist: because it is about spying, the film is shot from the point of view of spy cameras. In this case, rather than look cheap, the amateur approach comes across as creepy.

This is a must see.

In Los Angeles, the psychopath Doug (Colin Hanks) stalks the sexy Latin woman Amy (Ana Claudia Talancon) in a park and follows her. Later he breaks into her apartment and bugs it with surveillance cameras, learning her taste in movies, rock bands and books, and uses the collected information to approach to her in a cafeteria. Doug becomes Amy's best friend helping her in situations created by him, and when her friend Jen (Jordana Spiro) suspects of him, he kills her. The lonely and vulnerable Amy gets closer to Doug, now alone with her.

"Alone with Her" is a good low-budget thriller. The story is basically supported by two actresses and one actor in one location and use of camcorder and many cameras with different lens, and the result is a dark and credible feature. I do not know whether the information in the beginning of the movie about victims of stalkers is reliable or fruit of American paranoia, but this movie works very well. My only remark is how could the neighbors not be attracted by the screams and fight of Amy and Doug. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Note: On 2 May 2014, I saw this movie again.

Young man stalks a young woman by installing cameras everywhere in her apartment and by following her with hidden cameras in bags and such.

While the idea of someone using todays technology to stalk the object of their affection is scary, especially since we see how seemingly easy it is, I found the depiction of the story more miss than hit. The problem for me was that the central conceit of the film, namely that we are watching the young man's tapes unbelievable. Call me a heathen but I couldn't get past the impossible cutting to a close-up with in a single camera sequence, or perfectly focused from a moving bag shot or any of the films seeming breaking of its own rules. It didn't help that I didn't really care for anyone in the film and found myself feeling pity for our anti-hero because he was "in love" with someone who seems rather dull.

I have a confession to make. I saw this as part of the IFC in Theaters cable service and the movie so disenchanted me that I shut it off about 45 minutes in. Normally I'll hang in there, especially when I'm watching a movie at home, since I can fast forward, but even that didn't seem like an option. I just was bored and distracted and finally got to the point where I just shut it off.

There's a clever idea here, it just needs someone better to use it to make a good movie.
