No One Will Save You, the alien home invasion thriller starring Kaitlyn Dever, has garnered praise from two prominent voices in the sci-fi and horror community: Stephen King and Guillermo del Toro.
King praised the nearly dialogue-free film on his Twitter, calling it “truly unique” and citing an old episode of The Twilight Zone as the only reference to the original sci-fi film.
NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU: Brilliant, daring, involving, scary. You have to go back over 60 years, to a TWILIGHT ZONE episode called "The Invaders," to find anything remotely like it.
Truly unique.— Stephen King (@StephenKing) September 25, 2023
del Toro also appreciated No One Will Save You, explaining how a theme of Catholic dogma “serves as a narrative backbone” in a Twitter thread.
“NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU. You will save yourself through this,” del Toro wrote. “Any human-scale attempt at suppressing one side, results in strife. Because the universe doesn’t play nice. Period. I think the key is the moment of “communion” through the eucharist of the alien identity pod. It is profound.”
2) NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU. You will save yourself through this. You can find it in the Book of Job- In Jonah in the whale and in fact in many other religions. The world- the essence of it- is a paradoxical composite of destruction and creation.

4) I would like to expand upon this (as a lapsed institutional Catholic) but I finished my coffee and have my weekend chores to finish. The film is about soul repairation, yes- but then it telescopes to other levels. Watch it. Maybe we'll chat some more.

5) BTW this narrative strand is essential to Hitchcock- and operates as the backbone of many a fairy tale and parable. That is what NOWSY is for me: a parable. A REALLY fun parable. Sunday school was never this fun.
