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.

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.

No One Gets Out Alive: A ramshackle old home, turned into a boarding house is one of the main stars of this film. It's corridors and dark rooms contain creaks, cries and noises, suggestions that something strange is going on. We know from the prologue that the residence is connected to an archaeological expedition to Meso-America and artifacts from the mission are stored there. Ambar (Cristina Rodlo) is an immigrant, hiding her illegal status, exploited in a sweatshop, trying to buy papers. She moves into the boarding house and encounters ghosts. A tale of terror, exploitation and human sacrifice. Some good ghostly apparitions together with poltergeist effects. This is also a story of a struggle for survival in the physical and spiritual senses, both inside and without the house. Very much influenced by Meso-American mythology. Directed by Santiago Menghini, screenplay by Jon Croker and Fernanda Coppel, based on the 2014 novel by Adam Nevill. On Netflix. 7/10.

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.

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.
