No One Will Save You is a gripping science fiction horror film from 2023. It's the brainchild of Brian Duffield, who not only wrote but also directed and produced it. One of the standout features of this movie is its unique approach to dialogue – imagine watching a 93-minute film with only five clearly audible words!
The story centers around Brynn, a seamstress who's dealing with the loss of her mother and best friend. She finds solace in creating a model town in her living room, leading a life of solitude. But things take a wild turn when she finds a humanoid alien in her home. As the story unfolds, Brynn navigates the challenges of alien attacks in her town and her personal battles against these extraterrestrial intruders.
The film made its debut in theaters on September 19, 2023, and shortly after, it was available for streaming. 20th Century Studios released it as a Hulu original in the US and on Disney+ Star for international viewers on September 22.
A bit of behind-the-scenes info: Brian Duffield first penned this story in 2019. By 2021, 20th Century Studios had picked it up, with Duffield at the helm as director and Kaitlyn Dever in the starring role. They shot the film in the vibrant city of New Orleans from April to June 2022, working with an estimated budget of $22.8 million.
And guess what? The film quickly gained traction! In the week ending September 24, 2023, it was the most streamed film across all platforms in the US. Critics seemed to love it too, with a whopping 82% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. They especially praised the film's fresh take on the home invasion thriller genre and Kaitlyn Dever's stellar performance.
