But I have an absolutely opposite feelings towards this film , even though , I have given it 7 stars , probably , more positive than otherwise ... Firstly : absolutely terrific acting , main character portrayal is just plain brilliant , effects and action are superb , story is consisting in many parts of many films before , but up to the end , done pretty good . My problem is the ending ... the film itself was almost brutal , the ending should have been like a punch in a face , kinda like the "Mist" , instead we got overly philosophical and empty resolution... Anyhow , in comparison with many modern films , it is by far not the worst. Decent one time watch .
If you're a fan of those movies, you might like this. Just don't expect to have everything wrapped up in a bow at the end. You're going to have to use your imagination.
A beatnik girl battles aliens and her own personal demons. This movie starts fast and keeps it up until the end. No time wasted on back story, dialogue, or technobabble. You have to remember she's just a girl not an Avenger or Wonder Woman although she manages to give a good account of herself. The effects are great and it's tense yet exciting. I don't consider the movie to be full of jump scares, it's just tension packed. It's definitely not for everyone. If you go into it expecting Alien or Independence Day even, you'll be disappointed. I think M. Night fans will be most satisfied with this.

"No One Will Save You" is a home invasion film and also an alien invasion film that features much more than it may seem at first, let by a shining performance.
Starting off with the good in this movie by far is Kaitlyn Dever. She is outstanding in a role that basically requires no dialogue. She is able to put so much fear and emotion in her expression that truly made this one of her best performances. The camera work is also great. It moves so well and the directing is on point here with many great action scenes. The aliens themselves were pretty creepy and the CGI for them was actually pretty good. I liked the emotional core the film gave. It made me really appreciate it more. And finally the movie is really fast paced and it was a nice 90 minutes.
Now I do have some issues with this movie, mainly regarding the choice to have no dialogue. It works for the most part but it also left me having a hard time understanding what was going on at times. I felt the middle portion of the movie lost some steam from its great first act and action packed third act. And finally I felt that the ending left some unanswered questions about a certain choice that was made. Along with that the end did feel like it was stretched on for maybe 5 minutes longer than it should have been
Overall despite some issues, "No One Will Save You" is a pretty fun home invasion movie with standout lead performance.

I'm so glad I ran into this because it really delivered on all levels to be honest. No One Will Save You is a nice blend of Signs (on steroids) with Faster (2010), a movie that puts the pedal to the metal and leaves it there. No slow downs, no stops, just kept going forward, through and through, like a machine from Mad Max.
Of course, you do have to take in consideration its budget, which wasn't huge, but apart from that, this movie looked great, felt good and was one hell of a ride. A movie where the protagonist takes smart decisions, where the CGI doesn't disappoint and there is even depth to it. I truly liked it, it's not something like The Ritual, but it does come close, because it feels...not claustrophobic but you do feel like you're running out of air. You can clearly notice the good writing in it, action without dialogue felt superb and a great job done by the lead.
No reason to skip it, if you're a sci fi fan or a horror one, get it, view it, and buckle up. It will feel like a roller coaster, taking all the right corners. Amazing job done on such a low budget. Well done guys, well done.
Cheers!

But it's a lot better than many movies out right now and I really liked it. Think Close Encounters crossed with Communion with a dash of 2001 and some interstellar thrown in to boot. Plus it has its own originality. It looks great and moves along at a lovely pace. Kaitlyn Dever carries the movie and does it exceptionally well - its a fine perormance by an actress that will grow and grow and I can see her with a Streep like status in a few decades time - you can see it in her face. To the reviewer who skipped through it and claims there is "not one line" of dialogue... well, that's what you get for skipping.... My one criticism is I didn't really get the ending, as well done as it was, but that may just be me. I have thoughts on it but hopefully some other reviewer will clarify. This would be best seen on a big screen but regardless of where you see it, I think you will enjoy it and find the 90 minutes flies by. It also stays in your head afterwards which I always think is the mark of a good film. Enjoy.

- 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).
