'No One Will Save You'
No One Will Save You is the sophomore film effort by director Brian Duffield. The sci-fi horror film follows a socially isolated woman, Brynn (Kaitlyn Dever), who must fight off an alien invasion under the cover of darkness. The film uses Greys, the infamous humanoid, gray-skinned aliens with lanky proportions and black emotionless eyes. The film explores themes of grief, trauma, and isolation. The film is also notable for having only five words of spoken dialogue throughout its entire run, instead relying on atmosphere and Dever’s fantastic acting to produce horror.
While Brynn is able to kill several individual aliens, she eventually succumbs to the overwhelming numbers and superior technology of the aliens. She experiences a classic abduction scenario, caught in a tractor beam and subjected to a psychic probing of her memories. Strangely, for reasons left unexplained, she is returned to the real world without any alteration to her memories, the implantation of a parasite, or replacement as a doppelganger, unlike the presumed fate of the rest of the town.
This ambiguous ending left many viewers puzzled. What did it all mean?

Think You Know Pirates? Watch The Bluff
The Bluff unravels its mystery slowly, opening on the capture of a ship captain named Bodden (Ismael Cruz Córdova) and the swift execution of his entire crew. Then, viewers are treated to a tranquil British settlement in the Cayman Islands in the 1850s, where a mother bakes a coconut birthday cake for her son in a house suspiciously rigged with makeshift tripwires and burglar alarms. As it turns out, that mother is Priyanka Chopra’s quick witted and resourceful ex-pirate Mrs. Ercell Bodden, and her husband’s captors are on the way to the island to hunt her down for abandoning them and stealing their loot. The pirates of the Libertas land on the beaches of Cayman Brac, and the scenes that follow show a Viking-esque slaughter of half the island.
