No One Will Save You on Hulu

I was going to watch this tonight but I read the synopsis and SPOILER seriously? The aliens read her mind and feel sorry for her? WTF?

I have mixed feelings about this one. The first 70 minutes are super good but then the film suddenly gets too kooky for its own good. The very last scene was pretty mindfucking in a good way, though. I also thought the guy playing the postman was super hot. I wouldn't mind him invading my boxers.

SPOILERS There's one theory about the aliens in this film going around that I really like: the grey alien invaders are actually a friendly bunch that have unfortunately been infested by those parasites living inside of them and are only their temporary hosts. Those parasites are the really enemy and the masterminds behind the whole Earth invasion thingy.

It says One Will Save You.

I took the ending as an alien invasion of the earth and the happy, happy illusion is to keep humans placid and clueless.

A THREAD BRIMMING WITH SPOILERS!

Don't know if it's just me, but I've noticed a trend in recent films where the bulk of it is a total boring slog that "comes together" in the action-packed last 10-15 minutes. At first it was satisfying, but the more I experience it the more I notice the lack of creativity it takes to pull it off. I shouldn't have to be bored through an hour and a half of a "slow burn". This movie was blessedly shorter than that though, if I remember correctly.

It's a concept movie. No dialogue. But the concept is tired and this iteration is a slog. I liked the alien art direction.

I watched it because young actress Kaitlyn Dever is one of my favorites. No one plays a victim as well as this young woman.

R8: I thought she was fantastic in this! So talented.

This SUCKED. If an alien came to my house I would be elated/ and so interested in it. I wouldn't ASSUME its evil like she did.

Even though it was "a bad alien", the story rang false for me-

Some of the scares/visuals were okay. But this one was not good.

The actress was superb, regardless.

Are you 5 yo?

44! I would be in shock but not running around screaming. I would be like Elliot in ET or some shit.

And then when it killed me, that would be my fault.

I would be psyched.

R9 have you seen her in Unbelievable or Dope Sick? Excellent.

It was a terrible movie on the whole. The first third was decent, but then she winds up being chased by aliens for the bulk of the film for no reason, with an ending that defies explanation. I had to actually seek out an interview with the director to find out what happened. And I found what he had to say to be utter bullshit. There clearly was no script whatsoever, which shouldn't surprise anyone since the screenwriter is responsible for some of the shittiest movies of the past 10 years- Jane Got a Gun, The Babysitter, Underwater, Love & Monsters and one of the Divergent sequels.

The aliens in this movie were able to subdue an entire town in minutes and have them under their control. But they decide to play peek-a-boo with Kaitlyn Dever for days for no discernible reason. Yeah, no.
