Halloween is just over a month away, butHulu’s latest movie aims to scare you silly before spooky season officially arrives.
No One Will Save Youis one of severalnew Hulu moviesto hit the service in September 2023 but, based on the critical acclaim it’s been met with, it appears fewnew movieswill be able to match its terrifying might in the near future.
The sci-fi horror-thriller stars Kaitlyn Dever as Brynn, a woman who is an outcast in her own community for spoiler-filled reasons that we won’t get into here. Brynn isn’t too bothered about being a social pariah, either – well, until aliens invade her hometown, indoctrinate the local population using their mind control abilities, and force Brynn to fight for her survival and freedom.
Take a look at the official trailer below to see how unsettlingNo One Will Save Youactually looks:
If you’re not totally enamored with what’s on offer – based on the two-minute teaser above, anyway – maybeNo One Will Save You’s incredibly positive critical reception will change your mind.
At the time of writing (September 22, the movie’s launch date),No One Will Save Youholds a perfect 100% critics score on review aggregation websiteRotten Tomatoes. Admittedly, that’s only based on eight reviews – and, of that group, Ready Steady Cut is arguably the most well-known outlet. Even so, it’s a rare occurrence to see a sci-fi horror-thriller burst out of the gate and pull in universally positive ratings no matter how few there are on Rotten Tomatoes right now – though we’re seeing more positive reviews around the web already.
What do some of the world’s more popularentertainmentwebsites think of it? It seems most of their reviewers enjoyed what’s on offer, too.Digital Spy’s Ian Sandwellgave it four stars out of five, likening it to another excellent Hulu movie – 2022’sPredatorprequelPrey– and calling it “so effective and innovative in its approach to a classic home-invasion thriller that it’s a must-see movie”.

‘No One Will Save You’ Review: It’s Alien vs. Dever in Hulu’s Clever and Nearly Wordless Invasion Thriller https://t.co/qhusUXOfMYSeptember 22, 2023
The Verge’s Andrew Websterlabeled it a “taut, minimalist sci-fi horror”, whileThe Hollywood Reporter’s Frank Scheckhailed Dever’s potent performance, writing that she gives a “virtuoso turn in [this] intense alien home invasion thriller”.Collider’s Samantha Coleywas equally effusive, saying “[director] Brian Duffield’s thought-provoking creature feature promises to become a favorite among lovers of both genres”.

There is the odd review that suggestsNo One Will Save Youisn’t absolutely perfect.IGN’s Marya Gatesclaimed it tries to do too much, adding it “ultimately fumbles when it becomes both a convoluted action film and an on-the-nose parable about overcoming grief and guilt”.Paste Magazine’s Matt Donatoagreed with that sentiment, adding the film “has trouble marrying the film’s self-assured message with subplot themes around a tragedy that befell Brynn’s childhood”.
Overall, though,No One Will Save Yousounds like it’ll scratch that uneasy, horror-imbued itch you’ve got as we slowly ramp up to the most spine-chilling time of the year. And don’t worry, international viewers –No One Will Save Youis available onDisney Plusoutside of the US, too, so you won’t miss out one of the best horror films of 2023 on one of the world’sbest streaming services.
