It doesn’t take very long for the “grey” alien to show up in Hulu’s “No One Will Save You” and when it does, the story gets continually stranger, creepier and more horrific. The young female protagonist, Brynn, (played by Kaitlyn Dever) who lives alone in a huge house in the middle of the countryside does not utter a single word throughout the entire film, but we live the horror she experiences through her brilliant performance and captivating facial expressions. Wow.
The “aliens” keep popping up in, on and around her house and they want something from her which we eventually discover. And these aliens come in three versions: a grey alien with telekinetic powers, a short, aggressive version with large clawed hands and a giant version with the legs of a spider and the arms of a preying mantis. These things are horrifically realized through exquisite CGI effects and creeped the hell out of me. Once their pursuit of Brynn starts, it does not stop until the very end of the film, where we finally realize what has been occurring via small events interspersed throughout the entire film.
