Customer Reviews of He Knows You're Alone
standard-issue slasher film "He Knows You're Alone" is one of the ten billion nondescript slasher films released without much interest in the 1980s. It sets up a simple plot (psycho killer murders brides-to-be), tosses in a few stock characters, and lets loose with the standard genre conventions (people wandering off by themselves, the 'dead' killer rising up for another round, etc.). The film's key strength is Tom Rolfing's genuinely chilling portrayal of the mute, unhinged maniac. Unfortunately, you have to put up with a lot of lame padding to make it to his key scenes (many of which rip off John Carpenter's "Halloween," but at least do it well).
Other than that, fans of pop culture will enjoy picking out several actors who appeared in this movie before achieving 'real fame': Paul Gleason ("The Breakfast Club," "Die Hard") as a standard-issue cop; James Rebhorn ("The Game," "The Talented Mr. Ripley") as an adulterous college professor, and yes, Tom Hanks as a cocky psychology student.
Best of the Halloween imitators and Tom Hanks's first film!!
He Knows You're Alone is the best of the Halloween imitators and is Tom Hanks's first film. It was originally released in 1980, during a time when there were new horror films being released nearly every week. The film concerns a psychotic, jilted bridegroom who stalks and kills brides-to-be, their bridesmaids and anyone else connected with their weddings. It was obviously a low-budget effort, but benefits from tight direction, a good script and a likeable heroine, Caitlin O'Heaney as Amy and a good supporting cast, including Tom Hanks, in a minor role, making his film debut. Director Armand Mastroianni is a cousin of the actor Marcello Mastroianni. The most memorable thing about the film is the previously mentioned psychotic killer. He doesn't speak a word thoughout the film, but his presence is always conveyed in the most chilling and suspenseful ways. There are some truly terrifying moments. There are also some very clever film-within-a-film scenes. This is one DVD release that I will definitely be acquiring ASAP and I can heartily recommend it to anyone else.
Great 80's Horror Fave
I'll admit this movie obviously rode on the coat tails of Halloween plot wise,etc.
However, if you are a horror fanatic this will deliver the goods & have you hugging your knees on the sofa late at night.
There are plenty of jolts in this one.
I am sure Tom Hanks keeps this one buried with his Bosom Buddies Bra's. Ha-ha
I hope this one will start a trend of some more treasured 80's horror flicks finally seeing the light of day on DVD.
I hate spoilers in these reviews, so i will just say that "in a nutshell" the premise revolves around brides to be being stalked by a homicidal nutjob. I guarantee the opening & closing scenes will get your pulse going.
Have fun!!
