 Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to day 3 of 31 days of Halloween. Today we are talking about No One Will Save You, a 2023 horror movie starring Caitlyn Devere as a character named Brinn. And when I say she's the only character you really need to worry about in this one, I actually mean it. Let's get into the review. No One Will Save You revolves around the main character Brinn. Brinn is a recluse, a hermit, a shut-in, whatever you want to call it, that lives in a very large, I don't know if it's a period home or what, but it's a large estate and she's there by herself and then there's aliens. And that is the entire setup, that is the entire movie, other than the fact that Brinn has some trauma that she has not worked out dealing with a friend of hers, a childhood friend, and this movie hit me in the gut hard. But before I go into why, I want to mention something that everyone else is going to be talking about too. There is almost no dialogue in this movie. When I say almost none, there is two lines spoken, one character says it and then the other character repeats it. And that's the only dialogue in the entire movie. It took me about 20-30 minutes into the movie to actually figure out what was going on and that this was going to be it. I read an article from an interview with the director that said that he was writing the script and he'd gotten so far into the script he realized that no one had talked yet, that Brinn hadn't spoken yet and he decided let's make this a thing. It is a unique premise and it 100% works here. I don't know, I'm shocked and I'm stunned. In fact, it works so well. My only criticism about this movie, period, my only one, is that I actually think that the two lines of dialogue that are spoken in the movie take away from the movie. I have never said that before, not with books, not while reviewing books, not while reviewing movies, no that stuff. I consider dialogue the grease that lets the wheels keep spinning. Any time you're getting bogged down in description or any of those things, too much is going on. You break it up with some dialogue, maybe some humor, maybe some drama, whatever, what have you to counteract everything else that's going on and just kind of ease people through the movie into the next scene. I'm shocked that this movie is as good as it is without much dialogue at all. I want to say no dialogue because even the dialogue that's in there is so, it's two words. One character says two words and the other character repeats those two words and that's it. The most striking, the most, maybe even the most upsetting part of this movie is at the police station. The director said in the interview that he'd gotten all the way up to that point and he went to write dialogue for that scene and that's when it clicked with him that there should be no dialogue. And because there is no dialogue, it makes the actors perform their asses off because they can't fall back on dialogue, they can't fall back on verbal communication. So everything is body language and it just hits so much harder because of that. Not a single word spoken. Things like no words need to be said, pictures worth a thousand words, all that cliched shit really comes, really, really makes this movie work man. But yeah, there's aliens. It is a very simple setup. It was very cool to see Bryn fight back right at the beginning and what happened after that. And it just kept escalating and escalating and escalating. This is definitely a hidden gem. If you have not seen it, I believe it's on Hulu. If it is not on Hulu, even if you have to rent it, pay for it. I highly suggest that you do because not only is it a fantastically shot movie, acted, all that stuff is off the charts, characters, pacing, dread, all of that stuff is off the charts with no dialogue. It is also a very entertaining movie that doesn't have any downtime, well very little downtime, for emotional scenes like the dialogue that is spoken and the scene at the police station, but other than that it is balls to the wall. If you are a fan of movies or literature like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, even movies like Mars Attacks, not Mars Attacks, there's another one. Invasion, Invaders from Mars, something like that. I can't remember where they put the little spike in the back of people's heads. I can never remember the name of that movie. But if you're a fan of movies like that, you're going to absolutely love this one. The actress who played Brynn kills it throughout. In fact, the director said, I had such a great actress that she didn't have to say anything. And she didn't, which brings me back to my one criticism. I don't even think we needed those lines of dialogue. But I could be wrong if you watched it and you think the lines are perfect or unnecessary or whatever. I'd love to hear your opinion on that. But until next time, I have been E, you have been U. This has been another episode of 31 Days of Halloween. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye-bye.
