No One Gets Out Alive

A rather short and sweet review but I am mostly happy with this film. The trailer seemed to set it up as a different kind've movie but it definitely was not how I expected. I am totally fine with jump scares and horror movies of this type, didn't get many jumps out of me, though definitely has some tense moments that made my partner squeeze my hand extra hard. The story was all sweet, it just felt like the latter end of the movie dialed the crazy up to 11 and it felt a little abrupt, I didn't dislike this switch but it definitely threw me through a loop. The movie ending doesn't leave you with a whole lot of answers so I had to go hunt some theories down on Reddit, my understanding of the plot felt a little too simplistic but some theories on Reddit made me think back fondly, and I enjoy a story that doesn't need to give you answers and just lets you interpret for yourself on what happened. Definitely had some chilling moments and a wacky ending that made it enjoyable and is worth a watch in my opinion. There is a lot of not so good horror movies on Netflix, I don't believe this is one of them.

I wanted to review this movie so badly 'cause how much I didn't like it and say what I want to say about it just like the others that includes me ranting so don't indoctrinate me. Now with Things Heard & Seen which p***ed me off out of the way, let's get on with this one. Ambar moves from Mexico to Cleveland, Ohio, after her mother passes away. She supports herself with an under the table job and her savings. In search of a place to stay, she finds a dilapidated boarding house run by Red, who requires the first month's rent up front. After she moves in, strange things start happening to her anywhere she goes. She then begins to see ghostly figures around the house filled with moths, strange artifacts, including depictions of ritual sacrifice. Despite how creepy it is, the film itself is s**t as I am ready to do my very speciality just like I did with the others reviews but watching it three times I don't feel like it. Let me clarify, on my first watch I didn't like it and now's the time for me to do it but didn't feel like it. In my previous tries I don't feel like I'm in a mood to watch this again. The second watch I didn't feel like review it again and now on my third watch I think now is the time without a fail and give it my full load. And as I'm review this now, I feel like I wanted to rant on this movie because I am ***TINGLY DISAPPOINTED IN IT, but no, there's no point. I feel like I need to but no. So anyways, No One Gets Out Alive is a s**t horror film, it **** and blows, nothing new to the table, on to the next. ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐

Horror that doesn't have a definite plot until the last ten minutes. Throughout the film it is thought that the danger is not what it ultimately is, and in the end the film is very mundane and not very scary. The monster, however, is aesthetically very beautiful and the ending also explains a bit why some things, but not all. Then the whole part of the document is unnecessarily secondary, has no purpose and could have been easily removed because it seems to have been placed there only to lengthen the broth.

It tries, but makes overly simplistic mistakes, especially when it comes to how long it takes to tackle the true horror of its subject matter. There are clues of course, but at least in 60 minutes of its 85, this looks more like a drama about an undocumented young woman running out of options, with its relative sequence of scenes spaced with supernatural elements. The final part involves a monster figure who looks quite creepy, but the context is poor, and the resolution is even more so. Netflix filler. No big deal.

Story: Well crafted and intriguing. Not quite fleshed out but enough to keep you engaged. C+ Acting: Like the story the characters are not fleshed out but the actors do well with what they have to work with. C+ Directing: First full length for this director that shows a lot of promise of more good things to come. C+ Audio/Visual Effects: Effects were very well done. Some design was creepy but coherent. The visual effects and edits were very satisfying other than the main monster at the heart of the story that was very CG. B Soundtrack: Overall, very minimal and under established other than during the finals scenes. C- OVERALL C+
