No One Will Save You (2023)

★★½ — No One Will Save You (2023)

Brian Duffield is a screenwriter-turned-director whose credits before this include the YA thriller Spontaneous (2020), a modest but well-received debut that signalled a genuine interest in genre work with emotional underpinning. No One Will Save You, released directly to Hulu in September 2023, is notable for being almost entirely dialogue-free, a bold structural choice that gives the film an unusual texture amongst its sci-fi horror contemporaries. Produced through 20th Century Studios and Star Thrower Entertainment, it stars Kaitlyn Dever (fresh off strong notices for Dopesick and Booksmart) in essentially a one-woman performance, carrying the weight of nearly every scene without the conventional crutch of spoken exposition. It arrived during a period when streaming platforms were actively commissioning mid-budget genre films (the kind that might once have opened theatrically to modest business) as prestige catalogue fodder.

Subtitles: (Gasp) (Chittering). It's not a bad film, but it's not particularly great. Pretty run of the mill. It's certainly a nice take on the alien genre I think the overall premise is quite good and I like the fact you slowly learn more about Brynn but I wonder why the aliens are even involved? There's very little dialogue too which is kinda weird when you look back.

Fantastic Planet (1973)

René Laloux’s Fantastic Planet (1973) is one of those films that doesn’t really fit anywhere: too cerebral for kids, too odd for animation festivals, too steeped in European political theory for the Saturday-morning slot, and too visually fearless to ignore. A 72-minute French–Czech co-production designed by the

Viy (1967)

Viy (1967) is a strange and almost solitary object in Soviet cinema: a horror film, an actual horror film with monsters and demons and supernatural set-pieces, in a national cinema that mostly didn’t make horror at all. Officially endorsed by Mosfilm and based on a Nikolai Gogol folktale, it

Alice in Wonderland (1951)

Disney’s Alice in Wonderland (1951) is the studio’s middle-period work par excellence: technically polished, commercially tested, narratively cautious, and just slightly off. Made between two of Disney’s commercial successes (Cinderella in 1950, which had rescued the studio from one of its periodic financial near-misses, and Peter Pan
