In this taut, claustrophobic chiller, co-writer/director Emily Bennett plays Charlie, a pretty, up-and-coming makeup artist preparing her two-story Brooklyn apartment with flowers and romantic notes for the long-awaited return of her girlfriend Simone (Orange Is the New Black’s Emma Myles). As the hours seem to creep by, Charlie's excitement morphs into anxiety and confusion, made all-the-worse by a mysterious voice coming from the vent and an eerie Zoom chat with her mother—played with delightful malevolence by horror legend Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, You’re Next). Like a pandemic-era Repulsion, Alone with You expertly utilizes its setting, as Charlie's tenuous grip on reality turns her comfortable apartment into a claustrophobic house-of-horrors dungeon, possibly of her own making.
