Alone (2020 thriller film)

Jessica, a recent widow, is moving. She comes into contact with a mysterious man who she sees all over: at the petrol station, the motel she is staying at, and then ultimately when she crashes her car, due to her trailer's tire's being slashed. He breaks the car window and drugs her. Then takes her to his cabin, where he locks her in the cellar. She begs for him to let her go, but he uses her tablet which has videos of her and her husband and forces Jessica to tell him what happened to him, revealing that her husband killed himself using a gun. The next morning, she notices that the key is still in the key hole on the outside. She slides her jacket underneath the door, finds a nail in a piece of wood, and uses the nail to push the key out. Once she gets the key, she sneaks upstairs and hides in a closet when the man comes back. She overhears him speaking to his wife and kids on the phone, telling them that he will be back in a few days. Once he goes downstairs to the cellar, she runs. He realises what has happened and a chase ensues. She injures her foot and the chase ends up in them both facing off at the river, where she ultimately jumps in.

She is injured, wet, and cold when she comes upon a man named Robert who is out hunting. He helps her to his car offers her some spare shoes he has as she is running bare foot. As they are driving along, they come to a stop where a tree has fallen, blocking the road. As they get out of the car, the man turns up pretending to be on the phone saying that he has managed to find her. The man makes up a story about Jessica, telling Robert that her husband killed himself and that caused her to have episodes. Robert is conflicted as he doesn’t know who to believe. Jessica tells the man to ask for his phone so he can call the police. When Robert does this, a scuffle takes place. The man punches Robert in the face multiple times, and then kills him with Robert's rifle.

The chase continues, only this time the man has Robert’s rifle.

Jessica runs away but the man spots her using his flashlight and shoots her in the arm. He then sets the rifle on the ground and tells Jessica she has one minute to come and get the gun, which she does not do.

While the man is burying Robert, Jessica sneaks up and climbs into his car. She looks for his keys which she is unable to find but she does manage to find his phone. She takes it and climbs in the trunk and phones 911, telling them to trace the call.

The car stops, the man is looking for his phone and he realises she is in the car with him. Another fight ensues, during which Jessica uses a tire iron and also the man’s knife which he loses during the fight. The car then crashes and ends up upside down.

Jessica climbs out and spots a helicopter which is searching for her. The man follows Jessica, finding her on the phone with his wife, telling her what he is. In one final showdown, Jessica stabs the man as she lies injured, waiting to be saved as a helicopter descends down.
