The Premise.<\/h2>\n

No One Will Save You<\/i> leans into one of the most basic and effective writing techniques: find out what a character loathes, and then drown them in it. A character afraid of water has to go out on a boat. The character who hates children gets stranded in a dinosaur theme park with children. In Writer and Director Brian Duffield<\/a>\u2019s No One Will Save You<\/i>, he thrusts a protagonist burdened with anxiety into an alien invasion.\u00a0<\/p>\n At the surface level, this film utilizes simple horror tropes: lonely person isolated in a cabin. Strange terrors outside the walls. Having to turn into a badass using only household tools like a box cutter. At its heart, this is a true throwback alien invasion film.\u00a0<\/p>\n Duffield (who also wrote Love and Monsters<\/i>) gave several interviews preceding the premiere, and in more than one he expressed his enthusiasm for developing scares through the idea of classic \u201cgrey aliens.\u201d Here, he talked to Bloody Disgusting<\/a> from a September 5th interview<\/a>: <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_letter_spacing=”1px” custom_padding=”|||15px|false|false” border_width_left=”5px” border_color_left=”#ff0000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I grew up loving obviously aliens, but also Grays in particular. In a weird way, I felt like they were underused in movies, especially in the last decade or two, where I think we\u2019d gone the other way and were getting into more squiddy kind of fellas or just really abstract alien designs in that post-Independence Day<\/i> world. I really wanted to make a movie with the classic emoji Gray because, again, I just hadn\u2019t felt like I\u2019d seen enough of them, especially for such a classic movie monster.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/No-One-Will-Save-You-NOLA-900p.jpg” alt=”No One Will Save You (2023) New Orleans” title_text=”No One Will Save You (2023) New Orleans” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||30px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Duffield mentioned in multiple interviews the idea that some alien films – like 2002\u2019s Signs<\/i> – had the aliens hidden for most of the film and didn\u2019t reveal them until the end. This is not one of those films. From a September 21st Screen Rant interview<\/a>:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_letter_spacing=”1px” custom_padding=”|||15px|false|false” border_width_left=”5px” border_color_left=”#ff0000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I wanted the audience and Kaitlyn, there’s something downstairs. She sees a shadow, she’s like, “Oh, it’s a burglar.” And then she sees a little piece of the creature and realizes it’s an alien. And so just by that little glimpse of it, I wanted her and the audience to go, “Alien. Done. Know what it is, all on the same page, go.” And so there’s never really a moment for me that the audience and Kaitlyn aren’t on the same page. Like you said, it’s like you want to feel like they’re holding hands and experiencing it together. And so having them, everyone goes, they see the glimpse and without having to say, “Alien,” everyone can go, “Alien.”<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The trailer itself throws vibes of a movie like A Quiet Place<\/i>, where an individual or small group is terrorized by home-invading alien creatures. If you really want to dig deep, the idea that Kaitlyn Dever\u2019s neighbors in the film are somehow inhabited by these invading stalkers evokes 1956\u2019s Invasion of the Body Snatchers<\/i>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”25px” header_2_letter_spacing=”0.4px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” header_3_font_size=”19px” header_3_letter_spacing=”0.5px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n This is a film driven by Kaitlyn Dever, a complete showcase for her performance in closed spaces. Duffield spoke about her presence in almost every scene of the film, and in the September 21st Screen Rant interview<\/a>, talked about Kaitlyn\u2019s relationship with a production based in New Orleans:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_letter_spacing=”1px” custom_padding=”|||15px|false|false” border_width_left=”5px” border_color_left=”#ff0000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The crew! I don\u2019t want to say I\u2019ve never been part of something like this, but the crew loved Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn loved the crew. It was really cool. Because she\u2019s on every frame, you want all the crew to show up for that person, way more so than me\u2026And I know, I think there was projects she was going to do in New Orleans until the strikes and everything, and I knew the crew was all trying to get on it. And that was so cool. It made everyone\u2019s life so easy where you\u2019re like, Kaitlyn\u2026I\u2019m the leader by the fact that I\u2019m the director, but Kaitlyn is the movie.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/No-One-Will-Save-You-Kaitlyn-Dever-03.jpg” alt=”No One Will Save You – Kaitlyn Dever” title_text=”No One Will Save You – Kaitlyn Dever” show_bottom_space=”off” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||5px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n Kaitlyn Dever in No One Will Save You <\/em> (photo courtesy of Hulu)<\/p>\n ” content_phone=”<\/p>\n Kaitlyn Dever in No One Will Save You <\/em>(photo: Hulu)<\/p>\n ” content_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#7a7a7a” text_font_size=”13px” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Kaitlyn Dever in No One Will Save You\u00a0<\/em> (photo courtesy of Hulu)<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The credits<\/a> show a film anchored by a locally Louisiana-sourced crew, with Script Supervisor David Bush<\/a>, who we wrote about last year for his Fable House-produced meta-mockumentary film, Phony<\/i><\/a>, and stuntman Sean Paul Braud<\/a>, who has performed stunts on Louisiana-based projects from Renfield<\/i> to Mayfair Witches<\/i> and Twisted Metal<\/i>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”25px” header_2_letter_spacing=”0.4px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” header_3_font_size=”19px” header_3_letter_spacing=”0.5px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Okay, you\u2019ve got:<\/p>\n It was recommended to us by a\u2026shall we say, Baton Rouge gourmand of horror cinema, that the 2023 horror film Jules <\/i><\/a>starring Ben Kingsley and Harriet Sansom Harris would be a wonderful happy, light alien invasion movie to start the evening as a precursor to No One Will Save You<\/i>. This one right here:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0nrYm9Shbcs” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||30px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Then the night air grows chilled. A swift breeze rustles the curtains and a crisp and tense melancholy drifts through that wasn\u2019t felt a few minutes ago. It\u2019s late September. The wind chimes tinkle out their creepy notes. Is it time for a movie that will make you sweat for 90 minutes like you just ate a brick of ham? Heck yeah.<\/p>\n But if you finish No One Will Save You<\/i> and hear a thump on the roof, it\u2019s time to search for the nearest hammer.<\/p>\n No One Will Save You<\/i> premiered on September 22nd in the U.S. on Hulu<\/a> and is available for streaming outside the U.S. on Disney+<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_4_font_size=”19px” global_module=”7463″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nSo, how about its location?<\/h2>\n
