No One Will Save You

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/no-one-will-save-you-review-simplicity-at-its-best/

"No One Will Save You counts on Kaitlyn Dever's powerfully expressive, virtually speechless performance to carry a classic sci-fi premise of alien invasion filled with truly tense moments perfectly executed by Brian Duffield.

The brilliantly impactful sound design accompanies the narrative rich in themes such as guilt, grief, and forgiveness, developed exclusively through clever visual details.

The last scene leaves an unnecessary bitter aftertaste, but far from affecting the enjoyment of one of this year's most pleasant surprises."

Rating: A-

No One Will Save You is an excellent, high-concept alien home invasion thriller and features a great performance by Kaitlyn Dever.

Disney/Hulu have a hit on their hands with a no dialogue visual treat that also packs a punch, even if the words are missing

Just when you thought no one could rework classic sci fi, along comes, No One Will Save You.

This film is driven by sight and sound, evoking a Rockwell flavoured 50's charm, juxtaposed starkly, with an austere, almost Lovecraft-ian alien other. Its a film that's as endearing familiar as its, terrifyingly other worldly and it works beautifully.

The end is intriguing too, raising questions what it means to be saved and who the real aliens, are.

In summary, clever in its simplicity, visually and audibly expressive, at times familiar and terrifying, balanced by a thought provoking finale. Great stuff.

Fun alien invasion movie, but the ending was a bit of a let down and they attempted to jam a few too many alien invasion concepts into one film. The giant strider aliens were really fun to watch and the opening home invasion sequence was creepy and well done. If you are in the mood for a fun popcorn alien invasion movie and don't have too high of expectations, then this is the movie for you!

It's a new kind of home invasion story. And I guess it's a new kind of alien invasion story. About two-thirds of the way through, I finally realized that there had not been one word of dialogue spoken. The fighting between the alien nasties and Brynn was sometimes spooky, often suspenseful, and always entertaining. Brynn's home was the perfect place to stretch out the chases and the games of hide and seek between her and the aliens.

The variety in size of the aliens was a nice touch. They came in three different sizes: dog-sized, human-sized, and kaiju-sized. Their quirky movements and strangely jointed arms and legs, not to mention their odd feet were pretty creative. Their movements were sometimes human and often monkey or even spider-...
