 Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys. Hey guys, this is my review for No One Will Save You. This is one that I was kind of interested in because this guy is kind of a back and forth for me. The director writer. Brian Dufffield has a mixture of movies that I have liked and some I haven't liked. I thought Love and Monsters was pretty decent. I thought that Underwater was underrated. I am amazed it has a 5.9 on IMDb, but he's also made other ones that are kind of like, ooh. He was the writer for the last Divergent movie that was apparently so unsuccessful they never got to finish the last movie. The babysitter movies, which there's also Jane Got a Gun, which if you want a really absolutely mind-blowingly infuriating production story about a movie that just absolutely went nowhere, look up Jane Got a Gun. That movie took like a decade to make and it's ass. This film follows Caitlin Devere, who is a young teen who lives in this house by herself, clearly has some issues with the town and then what is believed to be a break-in turns out to be an alien invasion. I'm not spoiling anything here because the trailer literally did that for me. I both like this movie and I don't like it at the same time. Stephen King made a note about how this is a very good Twilight Zone movie and I agree it did not need to be this long. I have seen short films basically have the exact same concept and the same execution and they did it better than this one. Not to say that this film doesn't have positives because it does. It actually has a pretty great performance by Caitlin who I know we all say that we wish that she had played Ellie in the Last of Us show but oh well, she does a pretty great job in this movie. A lot of people are talking about how she doesn't say anything in the movie and there's maybe like two times where it's like okay, I know you're reaching to have her not say anything but she is by herself for a large portion of the movie and we see her have to interact with these situations with these issues with both her personal self and the aliens. I like for the most part how she handles it but I have to talk about the aliens next and they're a two-way street for me. One is despite the fact that they're fairly generic in their design like the gray men with the big black eyes all of them have different variations which I liked. I thought that was a cool idea of you have a limited budget but you're able to still give some variety, give some variation, give some difference and some kind of intrigue into the film. However, I can't believe that this species invaded earth because a lot of them are just moronic. The first one that she encounters that whole interaction makes sense. The second one, okay, your sense of disbelief is allowing you to kind of feed into it but then every other one afterwards is just bonkers. Like these are some of the dumbest aliens you've ever seen. However, as that comes into the conclusion I both like how it ends and I don't like how it ends. It is a good pseudo look into her character, her reaction, her relationship with the town and the consequences of her previous actions. However, it seems to kind of glorify the idea that what she did being this thing that has caused such strife with her family, with the town and everything is in turn into a blessing sort of. If you're looking for kind of like a normal narrative ending in terms of like, okay, you know the character alert their lesson, that doesn't happen. This is very much a Twilight Zone like ending which is why I'm torn on how it ends. One half of me is like, that's actually kind of witty. That's actually a pretty cool idea. The other half of me is like, no, I don't feel sympathy for the main character. Of course you're hated for what you did. It's a back and forth a little bit and that's more so just a personal opinion. How the film interacts with its tension, with its score, with its character acting, with the aliens. I was thoroughly entertained if not like raising my eyebrow about like halfway through the ceiling at a couple of points. I like how simplistic most of the idea is and how it's executed. I do like most of the CG in the film even if sometimes fire still looks like outer trash but the aliens look pretty good for the most part. There are moments where you really have to disassociate from any form of sense, common sense because there's some dumb shit that happens in this movie. We're kind of accustomed to that now but you could definitely feel that this movie was trying to take inspiration from Prey but Prey did that well, R10 Cloverfield Lane which also did that way better. Both of those are movies that could work as shorts but they also worked as feature films. This is a movie that definitely would have worked as a short but I don't think it's worth the 90 minute run time. Could have honestly been 60 minutes or 70 minutes but then you don't have a full feature. For me personally, I just enjoyed bits of it but after it was done, I didn't care about it anymore. I was interested in seeing what some people's reactions are and there's a very wide discrepancy. There's people who don't like it that she doesn't talk which I'm like, the visual storytelling guys have you never heard of it? It's very decent in this movie for the most part. Some people who just don't like how she doesn't say anything when she goes into the town at one point when shit starts to go down. That part is like the dumbest part of the whole movie. I don't care if you hate it. There's so many movies where the town drunk or the town bum who's not taken seriously whatsoever still tries to say, hey guys, shit's happening. In the end, I'm gonna give, no one will save you a three out of seven. Yes, that's a negative but I still feel it is a decent film. I feel that it is something worth your time. The loss of point is for me never wanting to watch it again, never caring to watch it again. But anyways, those are my thoughts. What did you guys think about this movie? I'm actually kind of curious. Admittedly, I did originally not want to do a review about this movie but after just seeing the discussion about it, I was curious and seeing what my subscribers and just anyone on YouTube had their thoughts on this movie. So let me know in the comments below and I'm interested to see what you guys had to say. Anyways, guys, that's all for me. I hope you enjoyed this review.
