Guillermo del Toro Is Right About ‘No One Will Save You’s Catholic Message
Guillermo del Toro is one of our modern film masters. While he can’t simply be labeled as just a horror director, most of his films find at least some of their roots in the genre. You could go on and on about classic films such as Cronos, The Devil’s Backbone, Hellboy, and Crimson Peak, but…

No One Will Save You Having Almost Zero Dialogue Was Kind Of An Accident [Exclusive]
Why isn’t every genre fan talking about Brian Duffield?

‘No One Will Save You’ Review: It’s Alien vs. Dever in Hulu’s Clever and Nearly Wordless Invasion Thriller
A clever and well-crafted alien invasion story that would have absolutely slayed in theaters if not for Disney’s choice to dump it straight to Hulu (the streaming era is nothing if not a golden age for self-sabotage), Brian Duffield’s “No One Will Save You” does something that no sci-fi horror movie ever has before: It…

‘No One Will Save You’: Director Brian Duffield Talks His “Lean & Mean” Alien Invasion Thriller & Using Dialogue Sparingly [The Playlist Podcast]
Writer/director Brian Duffield has only directed two films so far, but he’s already starting to carve out a specific niche. He’s a filmmaker who loves to take these character-driven, emotional stories and put them against the backdrop of genre.
