Nadie sale con vida

I had not even heard about this 2021 horror mystery titled "No One Gets Out Alive" prior to sitting down to watch it on Netflix. But I must admit that the synopsis for the movie sounded interesting, and so did the title of the movie. And with it being a new horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I had to sit down to watch. I am a horror fan after all.

And I will say that writers Jon Croker and Fernanda Coppel actually managed to put together an entertaining storyline, especially so since it never really dawned on me what was going on throughout the course of the movie. Actually, even now that the movie ended, I wasn't clear on why or what was really going on. So that was a good thing, I suppose. But at the same time it left me a bit dumbfounded as I felt no proper explanation was given throughout the course of the entire movie.

The atmosphere that permeated the movie was good, so director Santiago Menghini definitely did a good job in bringing the story to life on the screen. And the props were good, just as the sets were good, and those things definitely added a very dynamic and atmospheric layer to the movie.

As for the acting performances in the movie, well they had some pretty good actors and actresses, despite the fact that the cast list was a bit small. I wasn't familair with the people on the cast list, but the actors and actresses were doing good jobs in bringing their characters to life on the screen.

The creature design in the movie was good, though I haven't the slightest of clues as to what it was supposed to be or represent.

"No One Gets Out Alive" is watchable and entertaining for what it turned out to be. I just wished, personally, that the storyline would have been more fulfilling in terms of letting the audience in on what was actually transpiring throughout the course of the movie.

I am rating "No One Gets Out Alive" a five out of ten stars. Watchable and entertaining for sure, but the movie just didn't come off as being particularly impressive or memorable.

A lot of new stuff on Netflix is pretty pathetic. I love horror so figured I'd have a look. The main character has a good back story and stuff that happens along the way makes this more than a slasher film. It creates some real compassion for her. The last scenes are impressive. I tend not to listen to reviewers who have 'read the book' because they don't get that the language of film is different to that of literature (pretty much what Peter Jackson said of LOTR and look at the success of that). Horror is like comedy; it's subjective. Have a look, you might enjoy it.

Well, reviews are personal to all and that's why some give 1 and others 10. I thought the acting was very good especially Marc Menchaca and Cristina Rodlo. The girl Ambar, had arrived in the US w/o papers, docs or id so she WAS an illegal who wanted an opportunity to better herself. At times I felt so sorry for the girl - she was very naive and trusting, it was obvious really what the African was going to do. That rarity, NO CGI and the 'creature' seemed to be like an autotronic but I'm not sure of that. The house was just horrendously in a world apart- just like Norman Bates house was in Psycho. Certainly worth your time to see.

Ambar is a young Mexican woman living in Cleveland; because she has no documentation she can't get a decent job or find anywhere to live for very long. After being forced to move she finds an advert for cheap accommodation; it is a rather rundown building and Red, the manager, is a bit creepy but with little else to choose from she moves in. She is almost immediately disturbed by strange sounds and nightmares. It isn't long before she is in real danger.

I didn't know anything about this film, or the book it is based on, before going onto Netflix looking for a sub-ninety minute film to kill some time. The premise sounding interesting so I decided to give it a go. The film might not be a classic but it is solid enough. The building, along with the creepy sounds, are nicely disturbing. The film has something to say about the difficulties faced by undocumented migrants that doesn't get in the way of the story or the scares. I admit to being a little disappointed when we learn just what is in the basement; the human villains were far more disturbing than what is down there. The cast is solid; most obviously Cristina Rodlo who impresses as Ambar. Overall a decent little horror film; perhaps not a must see but still fun for fans of the genre.

I'm quite drunk but that was actually enjoyable. I thought going into it, it would be a boring none scary Netflix horror. However I was completely wrong. It was very ere all the time and was actually scary, you can't knock it. The story might've been a bit hard to follow hence why it gets a 6 and nothing higher. But a 6 is a lot higher then I thought I'd be giving this at the start. This has nothing to do with the film but the main character was so sexy it's ridiculous. All in all though genuinely not a bad horror and decent horrors are really hard to come by nowadays. Might I add also, Netflix films have improved so much. You get so much better Netflix films now then when you did at the start, I'm really enjoying them.
