No One Will Save You

Dever takes Duffield's clever, anxiety-inducing script and levels it up with her complex performance. Together the duo are a one-two punch, delivering a thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that promises to become a favorite among genre lovers.

No One Will Save You proves a singularly intense experience.

While not flawless in execution, it's daringly creative — the kind of movie that will inevitably cause those who see it to start talking about other movies as a way of understanding

While its minimalist approach keys into creepy unknown anxieties about our extraterrestrial neighbors, Duffield’s signature dose of emotional heft floats away into the clouds this time around.

No One Will Save You is at its best when it marries the tension of a home invasion thriller with the thrills of an alien abduction film, and Kaitlyn Dever proves she has the chops to carry a whole movie on strength of her facial expressions alone. However, the film ultimately fumbles when it becomes both a convoluted action film and an on-the-nose parable about overcoming grief and guilt.

A fiery Dever gives it more than the film ends up deserving, though, rising to a difficult challenge with both the virtual lack of dialogue and a string of sequences that force her to energetically react to a range of digital effects, a performance that almost saves the movie.

No One Will Save You is a very bizarrely unremarkable, abnormally lifeless movie, seemingly starting right out of the gate in the second act and then trying to reverse engineer the audience’s sympathy—and everything else— for the unknowable protagonist.

I often complain that aliens in sci-fi often mimic humans too much, and why is that? Why would beings that evolved on another planet look like, act like, and think like us? It's because the human experience is an easy reference point for writers who don't want to think too hard about it. Simply put, it's the easy path. No One Will Save You decides to go the hard path, and are greatly rewarded for their effort. The movie features aliens, and the scenes in which they feature are scary and suspenseful with bumps in the hallway, hide and seek around the house, and other tropes you might expect from an alien abduction movie, but expertly well done. But the real terror is in the aliens minds. Their behavior, their emotions, their actions, are all hard to discern from a human perspective. They are not just aliens, they are truly "alien" in all other ways too. And that mystery, that inability to comprehend, is truly terrifying. The movie can be given accolades for more too, from the great acting of Kaitlyn Dever, to the interesting choice of using hardly any speech in the movie, and the excellent pacing of direction to where there's never a dull moment, but you don't feel overloaded with it. Truly one of the best movies about alien abductions I've ever seen.

Dünya dışı canlıların açık ara bizden gelişmiş olduğu ve düşman bir yaklaşım sergilediği bu yapımda yine büyük beyinler fark edemiyor ama neden olduğu belirsiz, sıradan diyebileceğimiz biri bunları fark ediyor. Bence vakit kaybı bir yapım. Bulaşmayın.

Major amounts of plot contrivances. Within just the first 35 minutes, there are so many mind numbing decisions made..... consecutively...... from both human and aliens alike. For example: A race of interstellar aliens who are far more advanced than humanity, are apparently unable to track and safely detain a very noisy and panicked young woman let alone someone who would actually pose a threat? You know, like somebody with a gun? Additionally, this total idiot of an alien gets killed and apparently none of his comrades notice or care enough to check in on the house he was last at (this somehow changes over the course of the runtime). It's an oxymoron to have aliens who are dimwitted morons. By their very arrival Earth means they are technologically superior; the only reason the panicked young woman is able to get the upper hand is through MASSIVE amounts of plot contrivances/plot armor. It really is just one absurd piece of luck after the next. Does it build tension? Yes. And there were several times where I was truly gripped. However, each one of those moments of being thrilled was ruined by absurd plot armor. The ending is just a stupid cherry on top. Apparently this woman is the only person in town with trauma? She was alienated by her community and then in the end becomes the only one without the body snatching throat thing? I don't care.... outside of the great acting from the lead actress and a few moments of suspense, this is a very dumb movie. Only recommend if you are truly die hard fan of sci-fi horrors.
