No One Gets Out Alive

Choosing which Netflix thrillers to add to your queue requires you to establish your own standards. To begin with, there are far too many of them. The majority of the streaming giant's original offerings are unremarkable, factory-produced mediocre experiences. Before you can even finish watching one, another ten have already come and gone due to how quickly and fiercely they are produced.

It doesn't help that almost none of the Netflix movies have any significant promotion. On release day, beyond the first hour, you hardly ever hear anyone talking about these non-events on social media. You're pretty much left to your own devices to determine whether anything will be worthwhile of your time or just another forgettable flash in a completely uninteresting pan unless there is a noteworthy name, unusual media coverage, or some other hook to catch your attention. ”

Even though "No One Gets Out Alive " appeared to be a typical haunted house yarn that nobody would remember in two months, it checked enough boxes for me that I decided to take the chance. My hometown of Cleveland serves as the setting for the story, according to the first box. Since the city doesn't show up on screen very frequently, I like to watch those movies when it does.

No One Gets Out Alive kept my interest since I assumed I had perhaps watched it previously. It turns out that I had been considering the similarly sung song "Nobody Gets Out Alive" (review here). In any case, early assessments were extremely positive. Considering everything, it appeared like "No One Gets Out Alive" was designed to break the Big N's recent trend of tepidly mild thrillers. However, the reality was different.

Ambar, a Mexican immigrant attempting to start over in Ohio, is portrayed by Cristina Rodlo. She has the usual empathetic traits. Ambar is forced to work hard at a factory job she can't keep up with by her obvious desperation. She is polite in social circumstances and exudes a shamelessly generous compassion that battles with the unsettling fear of being a foreigner in a strange world, where people would use any pretext to send her back to her home country.

Ambar may be simple, but despite the many clichés, I still ended up liking her. I genuinely felt my heart sink when I saw Ambar fall for a con that would steal every last penny of her money. It happened again in a later scenario when Ambar realized she had chosen the wrong person to put her faith in and had consequently lost her one reliable source of support. Cristina Rodlo's flawless portrayal deserves a lot of praise because it made me care about a stereotypical character without my even being aware of it.

I wish anything made me care about Ambar's situation on the paranormal level. Ambar discovers herself in a familiar (to us) scenario of spooky spooks after being forced to rent a room in a low-down boarding house run by two dubious siblings. In the distant, fleeting shapes arise and vanish. Butterflies that were previously dead come to life and flutter about. Of course, we can assume we're dealing with a curse or a haunting, but there are very few clues as to what exactly is going on and why. It takes us a while to realize it on our own, and by then it's too late. Uncertainty can be frightening. To make scares stay, though, there shouldn't be too much uncertainty, like in the case of "No One Gets Out Alive." Uncertainty can be frightening. However, having too much mystery can prevent scares from sticking, which is how "No One Gets Out Alive" buryes itself beneath a number of semi-creepy "things" that the plot doesn't support.

Technically speaking, "No One Gets Out Alive" is a better haunter than the norm. With precise camerawork, a contemporary gothic aesthetic, and rich mood lighting that is among the most detailed I've seen for such continuously dark scenery, director Santiago Menghini exemplifies superb staging. The film serves as a fantastic showcase for Menghini and is sure to garner interest for future projects.

I'm still astonished that some individuals have been obsessed with a banal chiller that is actually pretty repetitive. Unless they've never seen ritualistic sacrifice in a horror movie before, I have no idea what those people are talking about when they claim that the plot had a surprise twist or was generally original. What did they fail to anticipate? This is typical fare, despite the lavish production, serving as yet another reminder that Netflix standouts are the exception rather than the rule.
