Making a scintillating feature directing debut at the age of 30, Mastroianni reveals a special knack for juxtaposing funny and frightening stimuli, recalling De Plama and Steven Spielberg at their most provocatively amusing.
The problem with He Knows You're Alone is that it's, well, boring. The characters are likable enough but dull, the subplots go on too long, there are more jump scares than suspense, the killer isn't all that scary, and his kills are mostly bloodless.
Standard grisly rampaging killer fare that marks a no-more-than-competent feature debut for director Armand Mastroianni, billed by MGM as an American cousin of the great Marcello. [17 Jan 1988, p.3]
He Knows You're Alone is the latest in a ghouls' parade of cheaply made horror movies by young and unknown film makers. It is the first theatrical film for the 30-year-old director, Armand Mastroianni, who is said to be a cousin of the film star, and it shows in uncertain pacing, halting performances and innumerable technical flaws. [26 Sep 1980, p.6]
Director Armand Mastroianni, Marcello's American-born cousin, puts this oh-so-familiar material through its paces without injecting anything remotely resembling wit or personal style.
