HE KNOWS YOU’RE ALONE
Tom Hanks did a horror movie?
PLOT
He Knows You’re Alone starts out with a young girl is getting ready for her wedding day. Of course this being a horror movie, you know it isn’t going to end well. A serial killer is on the hunt because his girlfriend left him for another man and he’s never gotten over it. Now he apparently can’t stand to see anyone else happy so he kills off people. He stalks the bride and slowly kills off those around him. She turns to an ex as she starts to think that she’s imagining the killings and a detective who lost his own bride to the killer shows up trying to stop him for good.
TRIVIA
This was the first movie for Tom Hanks and the original plans called for his character to die. The producers liked him though and cut out his big death scene.
THOUGHTS
Someone recommended this movie to me based on my love of When a Stranger Calls. Somehow they thought I would love this one too. By the time it came, I had forgotten everything I already knew about it, which was good I guess. At the same time though, this movie was kind of lame. It reminded me of 400 other horror movies from the 1980s where everything felt kind of stale and recycled. I really only watched it until I saw Tom Hanks and then started tuning out.
