So everyone is dead for unknown reasons save a guy who hangs out in the library. Now... where have we seen that before? Anyway, they clearly spent their money on the cast. It is a small film, with a small cast, and a small budget but it is done exceptionally well given what it is, but there is some actual power behind it. There are also a lot of miles to burn, and it's slow moving. However, it is a great story for the most part, until the end, where they had to do something to make for a climax and it veered away from the reclusive loneliness that was fine with the world ending... ...And that is where it probably lost a lot of people, but, again, they had to do something to make for an ending, otherwise it would dangle for an eternity, they just sort of made the wrong decision and broke up what the film felt like it was going to be about. Otherwise it's a watchable and moody film.

I did enjoy 'I Think We’re Alone Now' enough, but it does feel like they only scratched the surface of the plot. There's a lot of build-up, but not much reward. I still got enough from it, but I can understand the seemingly lukewarm reaction to this 2018 release. Away from that, I knew I'd get a strong performance from Peter Dinklage and he didn't let me down. Elle Fanning, meanwhile, is solid behind/alongside him. The film sets the ambience well throughout, especially at the beginning, and everything onscreen is shot pleasantly. I did find some of the music, albeit all good, out of place/overly loud in moments. Elsewhere, I personally found the run time to be finely chosen, I just think they could've utilized the 95 or so minutes better.
