If you've ever felt adrift in a new city, or woken up at night wondering how you're going to pay the rent, you may find this particular nightmare more haunting than most. Go to Full Review

3/4
A stand-up-and-take-notice feature debut from filmmaker Santiago Menghini. Go to Full Review
Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan (Medium) Jul 20, 2023
The film’s peculiar and ominous storytelling progressed the narrative, resulting in an elevating movie that fights supernatural forces and living nightmares that become too real. Go to Full Review
Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It Feb 22, 2023
The film may be a touch predictable, with some odd character choices, but that doesn’t hurt the overall result. With a compassionate lead, you’re drawn into her story and feel a sense of empathy towards everything she goes through. Go to Full Review
Carlos Ovalle But Why Tho? Jan 22, 2023
5.5/10
No One Gets Out Alive is a by-the-numbers meandering horror slogan for the first two acts, but things get interesting in the third act when the film finally decides to show and not tell. Go to Full Review

Steve B @RT25901748 2 days ago It's always great when a super white writer gets a book about some place in England and thinks "I could make this better if it was in the US AND there was some pseudo political message about immigration inserted!" Then hands it off to a super white director who's like "ah yeah brother this is so meaningful lets do it we totally get immigration!" then they do it. Acting was pretty good, writing and directing? lololol See more Rich C @Cordu0702 Aug 29, 2026 Absolutely loved this movie. Slow burn, but ending was great. A must watch. See more Robert G @Dawgn_it Aug 25, 2026 I wish I was dumb enough to enjoy this movie. This script is pathetically written and the characters are so improbable that it breaks any possibility of immersion. The only redeeming value is the monster design but it's just a rehash of the creature from the Ritual. This movie is an insult to the actual struggles of immigrants trying to survive in the United States. Kind'a f'ed up that the main protagonist gets scammed by an African immigrant which just plays on stereotypes. Feeding the ordinal novel into an AI video generator would have yielded a far better result than what this team of talentless hacks made. If you like this movie, then I suggest licking a metal pole in winter, because you already lack taste and good judgement. See more Michael C @RT21449580 Aug 20, 2026 WHY CANT YOU STICK TO THE NOVEL? IT IS SO SIMPLE. WHY??????? See more Jessica S @Jess.Styles Jul 27, 2026 First half of the movie had a lot of potential especially in the supernatural sense. There were significant cross overs in story lines which ultimately left them both to be semi finished, partially focusing on her immigration and staying at the hotel. The monster in the end seemed highly weird physically and took away the scare factor having a seemingly inappropriate way of 'eating' its victims which made it more comical. Overall, nice supernatural aspects but ended and creature could have developments. See more Ansh AJ @RT85621263 Jul 20, 2026 "No One Gets Out Alive" is a chilling horror film that takes you on a terrifying journey through the unknown. With its skillful pacing and gradual build of tension, the movie keeps you hooked from start to finish. See more Read all reviews
