- TriviaJust three days after the film was released on Hulu, Stephen King gave it the highest praise on his Twitter account, where he posted this comment: "NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU: Brilliant, daring, involving, scary. You have to go back over 60 years, to a TWILIGHT ZONE episode called The Invaders (1961) to find anything remotely like it. Truly unique." (25th of September 2023).

A Interesting Take on the Alien Invasion Formula
For a film that I had next to no expectations for going in, "No One Will Save You" is actually a pretty gripping sci-fi/horror thriller, despite its couple of crippling flaws.
The acting is generally pretty great throughout, with lead Kaitlyn Dever gives a great performance as reclusive social outcast Brynn attempting to fight off an alien invasion, especially considering how sparce the dialogue is. The most we get are panicked grunts, breathing, and screams, with only a few characters even getting full spoken lines. Unfortunately, this is kind of a double-edged sword, as the story ends up suffering, leading to the film having to spell out the backstory of Brynn during the last 10 minutes of the movie with a melodramatic flashback. While this backstory is hinted somewhat throughout the beginning of the film, it's brought up a little too sparingly to have any of the big eureka moment it thinks it has. It does lead to a rather amusingly dark ending which I did kind of like though, so it's kind of hard to judge.
The aliens themselves are a mixed bag as well, being a smorgasbord of different kinds of iconic extraterrestrials, seemingly taking heavy inspiration from the Alien franchise, as well as the mindflayers from DnD. They're introduced of having some sort of psychic/telekinetic powers which allows them to move objects with their mind as well as tamper with electronics, but in some situations they don't use them at all when fighting Brynn, deciding to charge at her and fight her melee style instead.
Still, I didn't regret watching this film, and I do recommend giving it a watching this spoopy season.
