Creepy, creepy, creepy!
No One Will Save You is a new sci-fi/horror film that is currently streaming on Hulu, and, I have got to tell you, it was a seriously scary, creepy film that left me a little uneasy after seeing it.
Brynn (Kaitlyn Dever) is a young, isolated girl who lived in her deceased mother’s house while everyone in the town treated her like a pariah. Brynn was dealing with anxiety and guilt over something that happened when she was younger that turned the town against her.
Then, one night, a home invasion turned out to be extraterrestrial in nature and Brynn has to desperately struggle against a variety of alien creatures to survive.
The gimmick of the movie is that there is almost zero dialogue in the entire 90 minute movie which creates a feel of anxiety and stress throughout. I wasn’t sure if she was mute as the film went along but it got to the point where you could see that she was not speaking because of what had happened in her childhood.
The sounds that were used in this movie, from the score to the sound design was epic and helped create that mood that the film was targeting.
The alien design is cool for the most part. Some are fairly typical aliens that you might see on the X-Files but there are a couple that are really scary and unsettling.
Kaitlyn Dever does an admirable job in this movie as Brynn, who spends nearly the entire runtime of the film without any dialogue. She had to express so much with her face and eyes and she does it beautifully. This could be a star making performance for her.
This was a mind-bending horror film that does a great job of building atmosphere and keeping the audience off-kilter. This was a good time with a neat idea that took a lot of the concepts in original ways.
