“How much will it take to make you mine?”
Alone at Night originally had a limited release in January 2023, but is now available to stream on Hulu as of May 5th 2023. The slasher-horror film stars Ashley Benson, Jake Weary, Paris Hilton, Luis Guzman, and Pamela Anderson. It runs for 90 minutes.
After a bad breakup, Vicky heads off to a remote cabin in the woods to continue her Cam modeling when she is soon stalked by an unknown killer.
Here is the trailer:
Alone at Night is a mix of Sick and Cam with a fun cast and some twisted moments. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:

Fun cast!
Pretty Little Liars fans should be proud of Ashley Benson, who really gave it her all in this film. She showed off quite a lot with her Cam modeling, but it’s all in good fun and adds to the overall tone of the film. I thought she did a great job with what she was given.
The rest of the cast was really random, but they all added something to the film. Luis Guzman was the standout performance for sure, but even Pamela Anderson rocked her role with flair.
Twisted killer!
There will be no spoilers in this review (even though you’ll probably be able to figure out the killer pretty easily), but once they were revealed, we got some creepy and disturbing moments that were worth the wait. This slasher wasn’t perfect, but it provided me with enough entertaining moments.
The Cons:

Random reality show nonsense…
I’m all for having Paris Hilton in another horror flick, but we got this random reality series called “Trap House” within the movie. Vicky was watching the show, which was fine, but then we actually cut to several scenes involving them, which was bizarre. They tried to tie things in, but it didn’t work and it took away from the overall vibe of the movie.
I’m not sure if they were just trying to fill time or what, but I could have done without these scenes all together…
So am I in or out?

I’m in about 75 percent…
I’m all for more slasher films and Ashley Benson did a decent enough job here, but I wish the film would have trusted its content instead of trying to cram in some other fluff to try and make it more relevant.
Either way, I enjoyed my watch overall!
