Alone with You (2021) is a psychological horror film that follows Charlie (Emily Bennett), a young woman eagerly preparing for a romantic reunion with her girlfriend, Simone (Emma Myles). As she decorates their apartment and awaits Simone’s return, strange occurrences begin to unravel around her. Mysterious voices whisper through the walls, eerie shadows shift in the dimly lit space, and unsettling visions of her mother (Barbara Crampton) add to the creeping dread.

The film keeps viewers on edge, using slow-building tension and eerie ambiguity to deliver a chilling, mind-bending horror experience.
