Plot: Ambar, an undocumented immigrant, moves from Mexico to Cleveland, Ohio after her mother passes away. She supports herself with under the table job and her savings. In search of a place to stay, she finds a dilapidated boarding house run by Red, who requires the first month's rent up front.
My Movie Review: The movie is quite creepy but in a good way with some very bloody and realistic violence, if you're not good with gore then don't watch this but you sure be missing out! No One Gets Out Alive is rare movie to come by with multiple genres mainly horror, suspense, comedy, drama, romance, mystery, thriller, superhero mix in one spellbinding intoxicating tale! The film might not be a classic but overall it is solid enough as the building, along with the creepy sounds, are nicely disturbing, it has something to say about how it explores the real-life horror of how undocumented immigrants are exploited using conventional horror film construct! Red Welles is the main antagonist of the 2021 supernatural horror film, he is the son of Arthur Welles and the elder brother of Becker together Red and his brother used to sacrifice women to Ītzpāpālōtl to any women unfortunate enough to stay in their house (serving as the landlord.) No One Gets Out Alive builds its suspense through scares both real/ supernatural while I less satisfied with ultimate execution, Jon Croker and Fernanda Coppell script has going in favor! This is supernatural horror with very violent perpetrated on undocumented female immigrants! Based on a novel, No One Gets Out Alive is at best when it depicts the all-too-real nightmare of women who are undocumented immigrants trying to survive in contemporary America as of many people who come to the country looking for a fresh chance she will do fight for her future!
Critic Reviews: If you've ever felt adrift in a new city, or woken up at night wondering how you're going to pay the rent may find this particular nightmare more haunting than most. When Cristina Rodlo is screaming her head off in terror, I was right there with her. A stand-up-and-take-notice feature debut from filmmaker Santiago Menghini. Succeeds primarily in the vividness of its physical environ, impressively decrepit boardinghouse that seems to swallow up vulnerable young women whole. There's enough of a jolt here for horror fans to feel briefly sated and enough for Netflix horror fans to feel briefly transformed. Even if everything doesn't quite work out, No One Gets Out Alive has a good premise and solid performances from Rodlo and castmates. The film's peculiar and ominous storytelling progressed the narrative, resulting in an elevating movie that fights supernatural forces and living nightmares that become too real. The film may be a touch predictable, with some odd character choices, but that doesn’t hurt the overall result. With a compassionate lead, you’re drawn into her story and feel a sense of empathy towards everything she goes through. No One Gets Out Alive is a by-the-numbers meandering horror slogan for the first two acts, but things get interesting in the third act when the film finally decides to show and not tell. There's beauty in its simplicity, using a familiar tale for a fresh metaphor, even if it doesn't break a ton of new ground with its structure that's alright!
