- jackmeatAugust 11, 2025My quick rating - 5.5/10. Netflix again. Seems like a trend, which is fine. I really liked the atmosphere of this movie. It isn't particularly pleasant, but it is very effective. Cristina Rodlo plays an immigrant who shows up in Cleveland and finds herself stuck moving into a boarding house. That immediately already is a problem, but something far more sinister than rats and bad wiring is going on in this place. Heck, when you see it from the exterior, the building just has "nightmare" written all over it. The acting in this is well above average for a horror movie that narrowly slips out of thriller due to a constant disturbing feeling throughout, and a very memorable ending. Along with Rodlo, Phil Robertson, as the property manager, has just done so well that the build for the characters keeps you interested even when the story seems to be slowly building into something much larger. There is absolutely no way I can go much more into the plot without spoilers. I would say go into this without reading up any more than the synopsis (and this review, of course), and you will be surprised by what is truly going on. The scares are minimal, but when they arrive, effective. Apparently, this one is a book as well, so I assume there is more to this story. As it is, it does a good job of being interesting and also seems to be pushing a bit of a message of how difficult it is for immigrant workers in the USA. It may have just been part of the plot, but I am sure the message was also being conveyed for a reason. Either way, this one ended up being an entertaining horror flick that I hadn't heard anything about, and fits in perfectly for a #shocktober viewing.
- ርልዪረMay 26, 2025No One Gets Out Alive: A ramshackle old home, turned into a boarding house is one of the main stars of this film. It's corridors and dark rooms contain creaks, cries and noises, suggestions that something strange is going on. We know from the prologue that the residence is connected to an archaeological expedition to Meso-America and artifacts from the mission are stored there. Ambar (Cristina Rodlo) is an immigrant, hiding her illegal status, exploited in a sweatshop, trying to buy papers. She moves into the boarding house and encounters ghosts. A tale of terror, exploitation and human sacrifice. Some good ghostly apparitions together with poltergeist effects. This is also a story of a struggle for survival in the physical and spiritual senses, both inside and without the house. very much influenced by Meso-American mythology. Directed by Santiago Menghini, screenplay by Jon Croker and Fernanda Coppel, based on the 2014 novel by Adam Nevill.
