31 Days of Halloween 2018: Day 1
[Once again I'm going to attempt to do a horror(ish) movie review a day for the entire month of October. I've done this the last few years on The Cleveland Movie Blog. Most of the time I succeeded (usually with the help of a few other writers). Other times I didn't. We'll see if I can pull it off this year.]
In the opening scenes of Reed Morano’s I THINK WE’RE ALONE NOW, Del (Peter Dinklage) is making his way
through a deserted small town. Rush plays over his headphones as he stops to
investigate each house, spray painting an “X” in the
street so he knows he’s been there. If he finds dead bodies inside, he
dutifully removes them and takes them to a field for burial.

This is Del’s post-apocalyptic routine now, a way to have a
sense of purpose in a world where he may very well be the last person alive. It
also keeps him thinking too much about the horror of what has happened.
After he “clocks out”, Del stays at the library where he
used to work. He’s apparently a bit anal retentive, determined to shelve all
the books properly, even the ones his deceased neighbors might still have
at home. But Del does take time to relax. He enjoys watching movies on a laptop with a
glass of wine, and even goes fishing on occasion.
