No One Will Save You

I remember back in the 90´s when my father made a phone call to me. This was a couple of years after my parents divorced and he was living in a summer cabin that he turned into a new home. So to this phone call, i remember how surprised i was when he told me what he just had experienced. It was early morning when he called me and this apparently happened at night time. A red light have been covering the cabin and my father witnessed some kind of flying object over his cabin. The specific details regarding the red light seemed very important since it was quite strong what i could understand. I tried to see if my father could remember any details regarding the flying object but what i understand it was difficult to see precisely since the red light was so strong. Either way it was a story that fascinated several family members for many years to come. Did he actually see a flying object over his cabin or was it something else? I have no idea honestly, i wasn´t there so i can´t say what this was. If i remember correctly he also mentioned this in a 90´s magazine who interviewed him regarding his experiences with spirits. All i remember was that a neighbor called Stig living on my mother´s street showed us the magazine, and i had no idea he would be in it. My father have since then met other flying objects, especially in a wheat field like a glowing bowl of some kind. Is this an alien life form visiting us? I am sure UFO experts would believe this is true, and i can´t say it´s all a lie since i wasn´t there. I am though fascinated about life on another planet and i wouldn´t be surprised if there is some kind if life form somewhere in a galaxy. Speaking of aliens most of you know how much i love the 1993 sci fi abduction drama Fire In The Sky. But there is an alien film i feel doesn´t get mentioned very often called Extraterrestrial from director Colin Minihan. A film about a group of friends going to a cabin over a weekend to enjoy themselves and are suddenly attacked by an alien life form trying to take them. Extraterrestrial may not be the best alien abduction film but definetely one of the more fun ones to watch. It´s actually really good looking and i think the alien scenes are effective. I especially enjoy legendary actor Michael Ironside as the character Travis who seems to know about these visitors. If you love alien horror films you should pick this film up on DVD or Blu Ray. Speaking of aliens not that long ago this autumn a new alien film called No One Will Save You Was released on streaming. I heard some positive reviews on this film and was curious to see if it would be any good. Is this a film that most horror fans will appreciate or is No One Will Save You not worth your precious time at all ?

Brynn ( Kaitlyn Dever ) lives alone on the outskirts of town, finding solace from her loneliness thrugh crafts, penning letters, and picking up new hobbies. One night she wakes up hearing strange noices from outside. She soon finds out that shes not alone in this house, that someone else have entered. It becomes clear this is no human either which makes things far more complicated.

I think it was a very clever choice to have a main character in No One Will Save You that really stands out in a smaller town. The character of Brynn really loves living in the past with her old fashioned dress, making her own dresses and building a smaller miniature village. This really make her more interesting since she clearly doesn´t like new technolgy and prefer writing letters by hand and creating things the old school way. She does have a TV but clearly doesn´t like using it since she keeps herself busy being creative. Actress Kaitlyn Dever ( who i especially remember from the really good Netflix mini series Unbelievable ) gives a solid performance as this young woman who is forced to not only try to survive but deal with a lot of trauma after losing her best friend in the past. It could have been another ordinary alien film but No One Will Save You make a different approach where this film is a mix of a home invasion film combined with influences from classics such as Invaders Of The Body Snatchers. The alien design looks like something similar to grey aliens with some body changes, who are also able to communicate with each other without using telepathy. Ok, so we have talked about some of the positive details about this film so we might as well get into something negative. Some of the CGI alien attack scenes could have been done better, i wouldn´t say it looks terrible but there is especially one scene where Brynn is attacked by an alien and you can sense that they must have done a lot of editing to fix that specific scene. The humans who have their bodies invaded by this alien life form should have been used more effective, where i would have liked to see something similar to the 1998 classic The Faculty. Overall, i still find myself having some fun with No One Will Save You. It is definetely not the best alien films i have seen, or will become a future cult film for UFO fans but will most likely be appreciated if you enjoy sci fi. The best way to describe who this film is for is fans who loves stories regarding space and extraterrestrial beings. Director Brian Duffield is clearly interested in the possiblility of another life form in space. Even though No One Will Save You have some issues this is still a film that´s far more better than any Kevin Sorbo faith based films, and that alone tells you why you should give No One Will Save You a chance.
